What you're looking at I think is to have the plants far enough apart so they don't touch, allowing airflow and can't scrape against each other or pass each other diseases. What should be quoted on the pack / websites / pot, is just slightly further apart than the mature plant will get to, so as Patsy & Fairygirl say, each hole 30cm apart - they'll grow out 15cm around, just miss each other and be very happy together!

Ah, but, the centre of each hole or the edge?
H-C
Not a silly question at all pokhim
As with measurements of most kind, you measure middle to middle. The holes would be 30cm from the centre of one plant to the next.
Always worth checking the ultimate size of the plant though, as these measurements are only a guide.

I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Question not silly, but spelling a bit confusing!
