My straw bale garden

This year I decided to grow peppers and eggplants on straw bales. I have 10 bales, in 8 are peppers and eggplants in 2. 3 peppers/2 eggplants per bale.
Plants are fantastic, I never had such peppers so early in the season. Next year I'll try tomatoes in straw instead of containers. Watering is easier and straw doesn't overheat like containers.
Peppers were planted on may 2 and eggplants few days later. I had first green ripe pepers in mid june.
