How many?

[Rymerpt]

I'm not concerned about cross breeding. How many plants can I put into a 5x9 foot plot? I don't care if they are squished, but want a decent yield.

I'd say fifteen, 3 rows of 5. Remember packing them really tight can be a real bitch when battling bugs or sickness. A lil space between gives you a chance of treating a single plant before it spreads to others.

2 rows of 9 probably
so 18

15-20'' apart to 15-20'' apart.I would put some Marigolds around them,maybe in there with them.The tight places can be a real  like hogleg mention. 

Also depends on the type of pepper.I would put the bigger ones on the outside to help stop the wind.
