Pick a pepper

This is the second self watering container filled with 8 pepper plants – 3 serrano, 3 bull-nosed bell peppers and 2 jalapeno. It looks crowded because it is, but the official Earthbox guides allow for this many peppers and their boxes are smaller than mine.

One lesson learned with these containers is that transplanting the seedlings isn’t a fun task. The garbage bag restricts my ability to properly tamp down and fill in the soil around the roots. I need to research a better way before next year, if I do these swc again.
