looks good. your neighbors pic with the jalapeno plant in the middle of the other stuff. arent jalapeno plants supposed to be put by themseleves because they release something in the air and can ruin the plants around them?

Don't know about that, but they will cross pollenate with other peppers sometimes if they're side by side. I've grown some hotass bell peppers because of it before..

I have my jalapenos in the middle of my squash and next to my basil. I'm harvesting squash now and my basil is doing fine. I've never noticed anything problematic when planting jalapenos next to other plants. I use the square foot gardening method so I have a lot packed into 32 sq. ft.
