OK, so we've set up a watering schedule that leaves us in charge of watering everyone's plots a few days each month. I think that this is responsible for any progress that I've seen. Consistency isn't my strong suit, especially when it comes to watering a garden that I do not see each day (meaning it isn't on my way to or from anywhere so I often drive right by without remembering to water my garden).
I've got a few plants that are growing and a few that are not. I decided to just accept that not everything will flourish (damn it!). Here are a few shots of progress...

Lettuce

Tiny Pepper

Bigger Pepper

Biggest Pepper

my only bean plant
