Peppers are flowering and so are the tomatoes. You can see how well everything was growing on the 4th:

You can see here what it looked like when we first planted.

We went to pick blueberries and we ended up with eleven pounds. The lady there let us have a couple of shoots to plant.

We stopped at Farmer Moe’s in Graham and they were having an even better sale on their vetetable plants since it’s getting so late in the season. Buy one tray of four plants, get two trays free. Couldn’t pass it up, so we got sweet banana peppers, some more green peppers, and Roma tomatoes. We brought them home and planted them that night.

Since it’s so late in the season, we got a great deal: $1.25 for four plants and it was buy-one-get-one-free. We put a total of $2.50 in the plants pictured here.

Today we got out in the yard, picked a spot with a lot of morning through mid-day sun, and got them all in. We have eight tomato plants on the left in three rows, and eight pepper plants on the right in two rows.
