The Garden is Growing (finally)

So after a failed attempt at starting from seed in CT I have a good update. I planted a bunch of seeds right before we had huge rains a little over a month back and it washed out most of my work. I went out the other day and raked out all the weeds and salvaged a few lettuce plants that survived.

With the help of a local nursery I picked up some onions, lettuce, carrots, and hot cherry peppers. I also had time to plant my yellow, red, green bells that were doing nicely in the indoor pods and have started flourishing since putting them in this weekend.

I still need to get the irrigation up and running but with the consistent rain here it has not been completely necessary yet.

Anyways, here is an updated picture of the spread. Don't mind the shade it gets plenty of sun in the morning and afternoon hours and I have one trellis setup so far with 3 more on the way by this weekend.
