Eggplant Lift Off

I was wandering around the garden today wondering what to do... it was a bit of an aimless wander, it rained all day, as it has been all week I think, and everything was lovely and wet, but I was feeling a little disenheartened. I'm not sure why, with all the rain spring has really sprung in the garden. I've got tons of photos to show you all, but I was thinking of doing a bit of a spring theme next week, so I'll save them for then.

Anyway, it struck me that I could try putting one of the eggplant seedlings into the ground. They are probably a little small yet, but I can't really see any problems.

So I am really really happy with the propagation pots. They have held together so well, and kept the seedlings safe and sound. The watering system is going great, I just water the bottom of the tub and the pots suck up the moisture, like a miniature wicking system. I think I might experiment with a layer of gravel at the bottom of the tub next time, just so the pots aren't sitting right in the water.

So I just dug a hole and popped him in. Easiest planting I've ever done. I put some compost and manure around the pot, and you can see the mulch. What I really love about these pots is that it's pretty clear where the seedling is, and I'm not likely to think it's a weed and pull it up.

So that's it, What to Plant in September is in the ground!
