Planting Peppers and Reorganizing

Its been more than a few days since my last entry and much has changed. For starters I cleared some more land to plant and I also moved around some of the existing vegetables I had planted last week. The sun is likely gone for the next few days as well but should be back mid week. This is what I planted over the weekend:

• Bell Peppers - 2 plants
• Cayenne Peppers - 1 plant
• Jalapeño Peppers - 1 plant
• Sweet Chilli's - 2 plants

All of these need a lot of sun and heat so I can only hope that the weather cooperates this summer. Peppers are said to grow fairly bushy so I took advantage of this by moving the Red Leaf and Romaine lettuce in and around the bases of these pepper plants in hopes that they will provide a little bit of shade. I also spaced out my Arugula plants a bit more and moved the Bok Choy around to accommodate all the empty spots I created moving the lettuce.

The other addition to the garden are some potatoes but I am not very happy with my current container setup. I will have to get some proper potting soil for the container and possibly poke some larger drainage holes in the bottom of the garbage can I am using. Aside from this container I am going to clear a proper trench and plant some traditionally.
