Last week the rain finally let up enough for me to plant my transplants in their new home =)

It was fun to be outside for half the day getting this done, although clean up is never fun

I am really looking forward to the fruits of this garden! The idea of having organic vegetables growing within a few feet of my kitchen is so exciting!

| japanese eggplant (i was NOT successful in splitting up these plants) |
I tried something new this time: separating the plants in the pots and planting them apart from each other – which was recommended to me by an experienced gardener. But it seemed so traumatizing! I REALLY hope the plants survive the insult!
These little ones are the onions…with grass cuttings over them =)

| red onions |
Can’t wait to make salsa with these peppers!
 |
| jalapeno and red cherry peppers |
 |
| red and green bell peppers – i though they were the same plant?? |
I’m a little nervous about the tomato plants. Technically they have enough room – 9 feet for 3 plants…but because it is square feet, it just looks so cramped! Hopefully it works out since I am planning on making tons of pomodoro sauce this summer!

| san marzano and roma tomatoes |
Your garden is really coming together nicely. It looks amazing!
I was inspired by your garden posts and dug out about 2 dozen old pots,bought some soil and plants and created a very nice container gargen. Due to arthritis etc this is easier for me. I gave up on the garden last year. I have a big yard etc so lots of room for the containers. Lots of heritage tomatoes, variety of peppers, lettuce, onions, cucumbers and herbs. Thanks for the inspiration.
that is SOO great – thanks so much for letting me know! it is hard to imagine me inspiring anyone…so it is definitely nice to know that i did =) I hope it works out well and that you have many fruits of your labor! look forward to hearing how it goes =)
