Looks awesome! Did you start from seeds or seedlings?
I grow pretty much everything from seed because it's crazy cheaper (after some upfront costs). For the price of one or maybe a few seedlings, you can buy seed packets with hundreds of seeds. Seeds also make trying out unique plants possible, as often times nurseries don't carry a wide variety to choose from.
That's a very good point. I usually go for the seedlings because it's so convenient, but you're right in that I'm always at the mercy of what's in stock. I've been wanting to start a scotch bonnet pepper plant, and those are only available by seeds in my neck of the woods. Guess it's time to start planning for next spring. Also, please keep us posted on your pickles!
