More Transplanting

Early last week, I got busy and planted most of the greenhouse. All the tomatoes are set in. Here we can see some Tangerines and a Better Boy around the onions.
Here's all of row 5, which is all tomatoes, plus the last of the leeks and onions.
Row 8 is a solid wall of Paso peas, but I planted a line of Big Jim peppers on the outside edge. I'm expecting that the peas will be finished before the peppers get very big. There are also 3 Biker Billys at the end of the row, and 2 Cayennas on the endcap.
I put the sweet peppers at the end of row 2, where they get a little shade in the late afternoon. Also, this way they are far from the hot peppers. There are 6 Anaheims and 9 Anchos farther down the row.
I put 13 Biker Billys at the front of row 6.
Here's a nice view of most of the garden, with the chicken pen in the very front. You can still see a pile of empty pots from transplanting.
Even though there are still peas in Row 1, I put a couple of Bidwell Melons on the end of the row.
This is a good example of the kind of interleaving we're doing. The last of the lettuce is intermixed with the pepper transplants. This is the "specialty pepper" area (section 6-1), with four different kinds: Chile de Arbol, Red Peter, Serrano, and Pasilla.
Here we see some Red Thai peppers tucked around the chard on the endcap of row 7.
As usual Rick and Buddy are clowning around.

Rick says: We're gonna win the Salsa Contest at the Saturday Farmer's Market this year.
