Green bell peppers

From the spring plants.  I have a few new bell pepper plants going.  I started them from seed under the grow lights and moved them out to the raised bed.

New tomatoes in raised bed

I started these from seed a few weeks ago under the Aerogarden lights.  Now they are in the raised bed and are quite happy!  I think there are 5 new tomato plants total in the raised bed.

Bell peppers

Sorry it's sideways - I did rotate this pic before upload
but it didn't take I guess?  I can't rotate it here on the site
for some reason.  This is last season's pepper plant.  It's
kind of on the way out, but yet it's still producing


The other pepper, also still making flowers

Eggplants

The tall, scraggly eggplant from spring planting.  It's about time for it to go.


However, it still show promise - new flowers are emerging.  So it has been granted an extension :)


New eggplant from fall season - a nice
sized Ichiban eggplant was already harvested
from this plant when it was half this size

The third new eggplant plant - Ichiban

Regular eggplant
If you are ever trying to decide whether you want to plant a regular eggplant plant or an Ichiban eggplant, go for the Ichiban!!  They produce a massive harvest!  The regular eggplant plant - well, that's it.  Just one small eggplant the whole season... kind of disappointing..

Raised bed

Here's a current shot of the raised bed.  There are mostly sprouts in there now - carrots, turnips, cabbage, and tomatoes.


The larger plants are from the spring planting season - sweet potatoes, okra, eggplant, and onions.

Top right - bell pepper, below that - tomato sprout,
to the left - okra, vine on the right - sweet potato.

Sprouts from the vidalia onion tops I threw in the dirt.

Hi folks!  Sorry for the delay in posting.  I haven't been getting around as much as I usually do due to the fractured foot.

Here's the latest on the Aerogarden.
