Just wanted to make sure that 5.5 feet-7 feet in between each plant was enough space to give each enough space to grow and I'm going to dig a 2x2x2hole for each?

I am contemplating the same thing... I was going to place them about 3 feet apart.

3 feet is good. 5-7 feet is plenty

I plant 3x3x 2 holes that are 6 feet apart from the center of each hole. It seems to work well for me. Been doing it for a lot of years!!

Good advice. Especially if you like to grow em big. 6 feet minimum for outdoors works nice for me.

I place mine 8' apart and they commonly grow together, I would recommend this as a minimum distance. 3 x 3 holes work great.

Most of mine are around 3-4 feet apart. I like to keep them as close as possible.
