After researching plant sizes a heights, it works out better to plant two rows of peppers out in the main garden. All of these peppers get at least 3 feet tall. That changes how many peppers go into two raised beds instead of 3 raised beds.
I am planting at 16"x16" instead of 13x13. I'm planting the shortest peppers in the front of the beds and taller ones in the back.
The extra raised bed will be used to plant some tomato plants that I was otherwise going to plant in our onion bed. (Which I really didn't want to do).
Planting two rows of peppers out in the main garden does mean losing one of the pole bean rows though. One 37' row of pole beans should be plenty for us anyway.
