My pepper plants are about 9 inches talk and have about twelve leaves each. They're taking off a little slower than I remember from last year, but I'm only about 40 days into the 90 days to first harvest cycle.

Denial is not falsification. You can't avoid a fact just because you don't like it.
"Data" is not the plural of "anecdote"

STARTING a garden? In late July? Man, that'd never work out here.

The pepper and tomato plants we are transplanting already have fruit on them, so it's not like we are starting from scratch, but starting in March probably would have been smarter.

I'm in charge of the garden here at the coop, but we're doing lead remediation on most of the plots, so all we're planting are wildflowers, sunflowers and spinach (not to eat, spinach just sucks more lead out of the soil than most other plants.)

Though, lead-filled spinach would certainly explain its effect on Popeye.

Mom got me a new squash plant after I killed my old ones. It's pretty awesome!

Image
This used to be in my computer case planter, but I'm gonna try keeping this one alive over the winter, so I transplanted it.

Image
The lettuce and mustard I was talkin' about.

Image
Peas and nasturtiums.

Image
My compost pile. :D

Image
Broccoli, kohlrabi and a napa cabbage.

Image
We have lots of raspberries. I hate the fuckers as plants, but the berries are alright I guess.

Tomatoes!
