Watered the bed and picked some greens for my salad. Near dusk decided to plant the little bell pepper and eggplant seedlings I've been haphazardly nurturing.
Originally I started 3 little peat pods of pepper and 3 of eggplant. After some poor care and a vicious attack by a cat, whose identity is known to me, I ended up with 2 viable pepper seedlings and one eggplant. For several weeks they've been outdoors, near the garden but out of direct sunlight and on a shelf away from pests. They're really pretty small, maybe 3 pairs of leaves per tiny plant.
Tonight I pulled up 3 of my smaller lettuce plants, in the row furthest from the tomatoes, and replaced them with the seedlings. We'll see how they do. If they're not looking mighty vigorous in a week or two I may pull them up and replace them with nursery plants. I'm rootin' for 'em.
Counted 18 tomatoes on one plant and 3 on the other. There may be more. They're green and hard to spot among the thick foliage. Woohoo!
