Lots of sweet red peppers, not as many tomatoes as I was hoping for. Next year I will prepare the beds better, more compost and manure. This is my first year having a garden. Look who showed up

mine is over run with weeds so next year I solar cook the whole thing under plastic. This year was very uneventfull, I fished too much and neglected it too often. I have a really good blackberry crop on its way out and I picked a few peaches yesterday, ugly as I don't use much pesticides but very juicy and sweet. Got a few apples maturing very nicely if I can keep the giant yellow jackets off them. I may try a Japanese technique of putting the apples in a brown paper bag while still on the tree till I pick them. They should remain bug free that way. All and all a crappy year for me caused by laziness.

My tomatoes and peppers did well, i think the fish gurry barrel helped.
You can.t beat the stinky fish in the garden bit.

My eggplant has been phenomenal and tomatoes as well. Peppers just flowered again last week. Tough year for my summer squash and cucumbers. The high winds and rain last week knocked down all my corn plants and few cayenne's.

overall peppers, cukes, onions, beans & lettuce did ok. the squash radishes & peas were awful. Potatoes did well and tomatos are shall we say....VERY abundant this year. Nothing like planting more this year because of last years blight problems and then ending up with a superior crop! I am going crazy with them and there are SO many more on the vines

I got 3 pepper plants that look phenomenal. My son planted them as left overs and he is jealous of ht healthy plants and yield: loaded with peppers and still flowering.

PS: O.D. Mike don't even dare mention what I used for fertilizer!

2 tomatoe plants died, and most of the tomatoes are small. A rabbit ate all of my cuke plants, the peppers have all budded up again, and the eggplant did as well.:smash:
