Default Re: how far apart should they be??

I bought a pergola at Costco that is measured 12' x 14' .I installed the post and raised the height to 12 feet. I will use it to plant my dwarf bananas and some other delicate plants. I plan to protect my plants from the wind and cold in winter time by putting clear plastics on top and sides. My California gold 4 feet and a matured ready to bloom dwarf Brazilian 6 ft are already planted on it. I will also add a lot of steer manure and sand and compost and it will be a raised bed.
I will not pay particular attention as to the space in between plants. I will plant my plants as long as there are space in between because of limited space. this is just an experiment. I figured the plants will be better off to plant on the ground than on a pot.
So if they grow bigger, what the heck I can dig them off and transplant them somewhere else. Or leave the mother plant and dig the pups.
