Spacing figures are RHS guidance, not a rule.

They assume a plant reaches full size. Closer spacing gives more, smaller plants and less air movement — which matters in Scotland, where damp and still air drive mildew and botrytis. 24 of 25crops here carry a spacing figure; where a crop doesn't, we say so rather than guess.
