Cucumbers, Eggplant, & Peppers

My vegetables are growing by leaps and bounds. Here is one of the peppers, called garden salsa. I have four peppers on one plant. After two inches of rain yesterday and lots of wind the plants were beaten down quite a bit. The strings you see are to hold up the pepper plants. I had to restake the peppers with a string trellis the length of the bin.
 An eggplant flower; so far there is one small eggplant.
Lots of lemon cucumbers flowers, have yet to see a cucumber, we shall see.
 Across from the bins one of the lavender plants is blooming.
A wild strawberry on the hill, not sure where they came from but they're growing everywhere.  Thanks for reading and for all your comments.

  5. Hi Suzi, thanks, last year my basil didn't do well at all, this time it started to get black leaves but now is doing a bit better. Last year was in the ground, this year in the bin.
