Eggplants are doing pretty well compared to last year, looks like 4-5 eggs per plant.


And finally starting to see some pods forming on the ghost peppers!

dammmm guys/gals those gardens look great. my garden doesn't look as good as urs does. but ILL at least get something from it. ill get pix today.
I have tomatos, big jalapeno pepper, basil, also some squash. plants. its too hot here in central texas to grow salad greens or most of the colder liking veggies. but this year it hasn't been as hot as in the past cuz of the off and on rain through the summer. also just got an irrigation system put in so nomo watering for me. yea. I still need to plant some of my veggie in the ground. looks like its time to get dirty and plant em in the ground.

Everybody's gardens are looking great!
My tomatoes are doing better than I could've imagined.
Same with the peppers and the beans!
This is by far the best veggie garden that I have ever pulled off and I owe a lot to my buddy "Cheech". He was most of the muscle and motivation. I will share with him plenty because my garden is much better than his. He spent more time helping me than he did on his own.
Here's some photos to update the progress:
Overall view...amazing compared to what I first posted here.


The "Early Girl" holding true to her name. Not the first to fruit but getting red soonest. Any tips on harvesting the 'maters?


Hot Banana has went crazy since I took the first 3 off her. The Mammoth Jalapeno is trying to catch up...I'm tempted to take the small ones off hoping for a similar result. Maybe in a couple of days.
In the background is the White Pumpkin that was nearly killed by the earwigs. Same with the cukes & lemon cukes that you can see in the background of the potato pic. Little fuckers ate all of the new growth shoots when they were really young. As soon as I sprayed them with spinosad and they had a few days to grow, they took right off. I have a zucchini that has fought through it as well. Also coming over the orange fence is the Giant pumpkin from the clay pot. Gonna let it hit the ground and run.


Side of the Pole Bean trellis and Sweet Corn. You can see the beans reaching for the stalks...I also planted a bean seed at the base of every stalk and they are also coming up. I'm going to have more beans than I know what to do with.


"Cheech" insisted and talked me into it, so we buried the potato plant. Used an old chair frame and lined it with chicken wire. It was getting huge and has at least a month an a half to grow. I wish I would've been doing it all along but...next season I will be ready for them. Since it perked right up after the initial burying, I'm going to get a bale of straw and cover it the rest of the way. What can I do but learn? Hopefully I'll pull a pan of fried 'taters outta there. lol

I think I might have pulled 3 weeds this year. Fukuoka FTW.

Keep 'em Green.

Peppers are killing it this year, tomatoes, not so much? 3 of the early girls have turned red, but when we pulled them they were all split and rotten. :mad:

2 of my peppers blew down and had to be supported, but they seem to be recovering well.

Been gardening for 38 years and this year is one of the most challenging ever. I am on the east coast mid atlantic appallachians at 2 thousand feet elevation and we have had a lot of rain, very few hot sunny days, cool nights and high nighttime humidity. After doing well in the Spring garden, lots of greens, root crops, brassicas, the summer garden has been close to a disaster. All fruiting crops have suffered from lack of heat and sun. Internodal length on tomatoes is crazy, delayed fruiting, poor yields. Even summer squash has been a bust. No melons, eggplant. Peppers are doing well but I plant northern varieties that are adapted to less than ideal conditions. Disease is nipping at everything, blight, PM, general rot from the wet. Hybrid tomatoes are doing OK but heirlooms are almost a total bust. A decent crop is set but unless we get some serious heat and sunny days the end of season decline will overtake the ability to ripen as the daylength rapidly declines from here.

First pumpkin! Had a few fall off as the plants were started in the greenhouse, making their way out of there now... Apparently not a plant suited for greenhouse :)
