jengc,
Your plants look great! Lush and healthy. I have a question about the plastic bottle/watering method. Does it work well? I'm now thinking about trying it this summer.

I just started my first SFG in three 3'x3' raised beds. I've attached (hopefully) a picture of them. In the far back bed (by my composters) is garlic with one Mucho Nacho jalapeno pepper plant.

The bed in the middle is all Fat n' Sassy bell peppers and one Mucho Nacho jalapeno pepper.

The front bed contains Scarlet Nantes carrots, Tango celery (my first attempt with celery), Jericho and Little Gem romaine lettuce, Simpson Elite lettuce, Evergreen bunching onions, and two Salad Bush cucumbers (these will just ramble on the lawn).

Thanks for sharing you photos!

I like your black plastic raised bed! Where did you buy it? and how much does it cost?

Thank you

Kim, I am so envious of your lettuce!! Everything looks awesome. I didnt have much luck with lettuce. Mine took FOREVER to grow and the seedlings that I started kept dying after I planted them. When I finally decided to add plant food, they grew great! Now it is too hot to grow them, even for buttercruch (I had some outside that grew limp with the 90 degree weather). I am trying again and growing them inside (we keep the temp around 85 inside lol). But they look wonderful!

Your babies look great (ok, not the peas, but I haven't grown any yet, so couldn't tell ya' what might be wrong).

I have cantaloupe growing, but didn't know what it was supposed to look like until seeing pics of yours. Mine don't look like that... hmmm... I moved them from crowded pot to raised bed, so hopefully they'll look as nice as yours soon.

Thanks for sharing, and post again when they get bigger!
