The peas are coming... The Peas are coming

So everything has been getting bigger, and looking more healthy than they did last week.  Along with weeding the beds I also added BT and Neem to the plants to keep the bugs away!  Some of the leaves have been getting quite a lot of chewing, stupid bugs.  Some of the plants are also starting to see flowers like the eggplants.  I also added fertilizer to some of the plants that were not looking to great like the peppers and tomatoes.  Besides that I also planted 6 heads of lettuce today!  I hope they all survive and do well!  I also plowed one of the beds next store that no one was using and planted a couple of squash and zucchini.  Also the Peas I planted last week were all just starting to break through the soil today were looking good!!! (I forgot to take a picture though)  In class we talked about soil and what plants need.  The essential ingredients plants need are  split up into 3 groups environmental, macro nutrients, and micro nutrients.  All three are just as important to the plants life, but the plant needs more of some than others.  I believe some of my plants especially the tomatoes may have a nitrogen deficiency since the bottom leaves are sort of yellow.  Below are pictures of the lettuce I planted, one of my eggplants and a zucchini plant.
