I started some new plants in Earth Barrels which are a self watering container made out of a 55 gallon food grade plastic barrel. My growing medium consists of peat, vermiculite, Black Cow, Black Hen & Mushroom Compost. This mix make a very light and airy growing media. I purchased several plants from a local grower and planted these on July 13th, 2011. Below are some pictures about two weeks after planting.

The Peppers seem to be happy already have several pods on the Chocolate (Black) Habenero started getting pods about 2 weeks after planting in Earth Barrels.
Datil Peppers growing happily in recycled wooden wine bottle box. These plants are almost a year old and I have harvested many pods...

This is just the beggining of the grow log so please follow the progress of these plants as they grow in Earth Barrels and other containers... I also have cucumbers and squash growing in recycled wine boxes and Jalapenos, Bells, Banana and Yummies growing in various planters.
