More pictures of the garden!!! We’re in week 3 and the plants have really taken off this past week.

The whole garden box is filling in nicely!

This is what it looked like when I first planted it:

I think arugula is on the menu for tonight’s dinner.

New cilantro leaves are coming in.

I’ll have a Japanese eggplant to cook up before I know it. The eggplants are getting really tall!

And here are all the peppers. First, a jalapeno.

Next, a bighorn pepper. I’m not sure what it’ll taste like but living in Texas, you’ve gotta plant anything called “bighorn”!

I have a feeling I’ll have more cayenne peppers than I know what to do with. If you use cayenne peppers when you cook, let me know. You can easily have fresh ones! I have SIX of these plants….

This one will grow up to be nice and red. May I present to you, the red bell pepper!!

The tomatoes are getting pretty big, too. These will grow to be full sized. The cherry tomatoes are just starting to show flowering.

The garlic is really taking off, too. Here, in its big pot with the green onions.

The peppermint is doing okay, too. I need to remember to keep that pot really damp all the time.

So, that’s it. I think I’ll have some more than just arugula to harvest about the time that UIL is over. That’ll be a nice dinner. 🙂
