What type or tomatoes & peppers do you plant?
I would grow one hot pepper and the other 4 to cook and or eat raw in salads. You only need ONE hot pepper. My choice would be Jalapeno. Some of the other hot peppers you list can cause damage. My tomato choices are: one yellow (I plant yellow pear), one grape tomato (you call it red pear), one Roma (because they bear early, don't have to be staked, are meaty for sauces and sandwiches). Then I choose a real early like Early Girl or Big Boy and my very favorite is an Amish Heirloom that I just save the seeds from and use year after year. The flavor is unbeatable. There are several varieties out there and there are heirloom seed sources online. All tomatoes that I grow are washed and dried and put in bags for the freezer and I have a year's supply. I don't care for the purple Cherokee or the ripe green tomatoes. I buy 4x8 foot sheets of reinforcing wire (hog wire) and bend them into a circle and place them around the tomato plant when they are transplanted as they are the only thing that will hold my voluptuous tomato crops
