so far so good

The peppers and most of the other plants out so far are looking pretty good.

We're making some tweaks, moving some to larger pots, trying different soil mixes, etc.

I'm trying to make sure the peppers have plenty of drainage, but trying different ways to achieve this end. Some pots get gravel at the bottom of the pot, and all have stuff mixed into the potting soil for drainage and enrichment. One of our neighbors made some good, rich compost. Looks like good stuff, and we're using it in just about everything.

It's been raining like mad this week, so that's keeping us off any kind of watering schedule. But the plants exposed to it seem to be thriving to greater or lesser extents.
