The plants we bought weren't supposed to grow produce for about 100 days, but just a month after we planted the green bell pepper, we had one growing! Our pepper plant was so slender that I had no idea how it could hold up the pepper. This photo was taken right after I noticed it but now it looks like it will be ready to eat soon.
We also have loads of tomatoes growing (five different types); the only plants we are waiting for are the cucumbers, squash, and artichokes.
We've also planted marigolds around the garden because they are supposed to be a natural insecticide. I'll write more about ecofriendly pest control in a future post.
