Peppers

I do not think these plants are doing that well. I have always been under the impression with most full sun plants, they really only need about 6 hours of direct, which after having done my sun pattern today, is about what these plants get. I also decided to try the weed fabric, so it is really difficult to tell exactly what is holding these plants up from growing bigger. I planted them several weeks ago now. The one on the far left, in the back, seems to be showing a blossom, which is too early, and the plant is too small. You cannot see it in this picture, but maybe I should get a picture of it later. Anyway, I am a little miffed. I think I planted enough pepper plants, with some roasting and freezing or straight out freezing, to get the family through most of the winter. Now I am not so sure.

As for what IS planted (from left to right, roughly). I have Sicilian sweet peppers (I have never planted these before.), green bell, and red bell.

I am not sure what I am doing with the sticks of wood or the rock. I turned a leaky hose into a little irrigation system. It works OK, but as you can see from this photo and in the ones showing the whole garden at once, this hose... comes up a little short.
