What good looking soil you have. It will be a good garden. I am rooting for your success.

I did manage to get a bit done so far today. Potted some things up, finished and filled the fifth waterbed and planted the Brown Turkey fig ~ finally!!!

I had read on DG that eggplant leaves will be devoured by I believe it was flea beetles. One gardener said she left hers potted on the deck and nothing bothered them. I noticed my small plants were getting holey and I didn't want to spray so set the pots about 2 feet off the ground. I am astounded to see the new growth with no holes in it. Once larger, I will put them on ground level but for now it worked!
