5 Plants Go In My Raised Bed

For the last couple of months I've been building and grooming a raised bed for 5 of my Habaneros; 2 Costa Rican Red and 3 Orange. I have added composted leaves, grass, kitchen waste (no meat), wood ash, and general yard debris. I also added about 2, 5 gal. buckets of medium coarse coir, to help keep the soil from compacting too much.
Yesterday the Habaneros went in the ground and I top dressed aged, dried cow manure around all of the plants. Last night we had a really good rain, so the plants are looking perky this morning. Here's some photos.
