Nytacker, the Lady Bells are a great eating pepper for kabobs and even salads. They are actually pretty sweet for a bell pepper. I usually grow a mix of these and California Wonders. The California Wonders are perfect for stuffed peppers and chopping up for chili and tomato sauces.

Nothing below mid 40s by me in the future at night. Potatoes are just coming in, garlic looks good. I put some peppers and eggplant in the ground today. I had flowers on eggplant and peppers so hopefully it will deal with these cool temps and I'll get an early harvest.

Good ideas, thank you, the leftover spot is only about 3’x3’ so i might do an eggplant, two, or maybe even cilantro.

Cucumbers, beans, spinach, corn and butternut squash went in the ground Friday to join the lettuce, peppers and eggplant. My lettuce doesn't look great so I'm starting a few more in the starter pods. Eggplant looks a little rough too but it always seem to start that way.

Finally have my zucchini popping up in the pods and will get them and some tomatoes in the ground this week.

Something neat I found too. We started a compost last spring. Super easy and good for the earth kinda thing. We used a plastic bin thing that was like $40 from Lowes. Anyhow, Probably got a few cubic feet or so of compost that I spread in early April.

I was pulling up a few weeds in one of the beds and I got hit with a strong onion smell and it ended up being a growing onion lol. I'm wondering if this was from compost? How else could it have happened?
