We put up several plants for the first time this year, and while it's nothing compared to the huge raised beds most of you guys have, we're pretty pleased with ourselves. Two big pots of tomatoes, two big pots of bell peppers, and three watermelon plants in the ground.
The tomato plants are being a little weird: they're growing huge and tall, clearly thriving, but not budding much fruit at all. We're hoping for an explosion of tiny green balls to show up any day now.
The watermelons may be a complete failure: one is not growing at all (but not dying either,) one we accidentally planted right under the roof's edge so it gets pummeled every time it rains, and the third is actually growing but only slowly.
The bell peppers are rocking. The biggest one is already about 3 inches long, and there are probably 15 more in various smaller sizes. I don't like green bell peppers, so they're going to stay on the vine as long as it takes to turn red.
