goddamn. left for oregon for like a week and a half after installing my drip irrigation system and the stuff i planted between the chiles is already going nuts.
The tomatillos (top middle) blew the eff up and the borage (top left) is looking great. Basil, cosmos and dill all are doing great on the bottom. Chiles have all sprouted and most are doing solid but I'm a little worried their roots might get crowded out by the herbs. I think I'll put the herbs at the top in future years to give the chiles some afternoon shade.
Zinnia on the left is already looking great, just hoping it won't crowd out the superhots. Amaranth is going nuts on the right. Think I'm gonna make a salad out of the amaranth leaves later this week so that the chiles don't get overwhelmed.
Everything's already sprouted in the wooden raised beds (tomatoes, melons, herbs, onions, carrots) and I've done a bunch of thinning. I'm not sure if my drip irrigation system has a leak or if it's just natural flow from the soil, I'll check on that later. But everything is getting the water it needs, it's been rainy the past few days but all the plants survived/germinated and grew during 100+ temps for all of last week.
