New plantings - part two

This is bed number three.  I had two Roma tomatoes already planted and growing fast.   Today I put in a Atkinson tomato and a Yellow tomato.  That finishes out the row of tomatoes.  In the foreground is a Yellow bell pepper and a Red bell pepper.  Above that I planted two Okra seeds.  Finally in the center is a egg plant.  It looks pretty sick.  I bought it 3-4 days ago and had kept it in the house and watered. For the tomatoes and egg plant 2 gallon per hour drip heads were used. On the peppers I used 1 gallon per hour drip heads.

It only took it an hour in the soil, sunlight and water to come back!

Bed four is not too interesting as of yet.  There is the zucchini that was planted at the time of the original planting.  I seeded three Picklebush cucumbers at the far side.  In the middle I seeded three Lemonboy cucumbers.  Those seeds were from 2009 and hopefully will work.  If not I will go buy more. I used a 90 degree spray head for the seedlings. After the plants have grown to 2-4 inches I will install proper drip heads.

Til next time happy growing.
