Peppers and potatoes have gone crazy the last few days.  The pepper plants have grown and I've been pruning them so they've also bushed out a bit and I have several peppers growing.  Some may be a mystery as to what they are, lessons for next time make sure I keep the labels better.  We had a big storm the other day (well, every day, but this was a particularly big one) and afterwards the potato plants grew a ton.  I got a bit over enthusiastic with covering them up though as some of them have grown at different rates, so I've had to put the soil in the buckets a bit unevenly so that the smaller ones can still get some light.

Egg plant has also got big, we have another flower but as yet no egg plant.

Basil is also growing like crazy.

Two things that aren't doing so great, the strawberries.  A couple of the plants are growing nicely, some have shown no sign of life from the bare root plants, and some have grown leaves but then I guess died or gone back to sleep.  So not sure.

Tomatoes I think I have planted at the wrong time.  I may start some seedlings as we have such a long growing season, but on the whole they've been a disappointment.  I've got some growing on the cherry bush, the only one that ripened so far split.  And the only other one that has fruit is one lonely roma.

Still thinking about how to effectively get a rain barrel going without gutters.  I have some ideas.
