I love to grow pepper plants. They are so pretty. I don't eat very many peppers but I am learning how to.
Such as= I love creamcheese mix stuffed in Jalapeno peppers and battered and deep fried but the Jalapenos are too
hot for me. I am a mild pepper person. Am trying out the Fooled You Jalapeno this year. It is a mild heat.
Just wanted to show some bell pepper plants that I am growing. They are so dark green and loaded with peppers.
Growing several 4ft x 4ft beds of corn. This is the oldest one.===which had a few plants to break during storms and had to sow more seeds when they were about 2 weeks up.
Tomatoes, beans, mini cantaloupes, flowers, growing in a raised block bed.
Eggplant. and the aphids and white flies are trying to take over. :(
Hansel Eggplant. They are kinda small. Too small for me. I won't grow them again.
Cricket,
How big is that eggplant container, and how many plants do you have in it? I still have time to transplant a couple eggplants in my area, and have some 25-gallon molasses tubs. I'm trying to decide whether two or three will do ok in them. Have only grown a single plant/eBucket before.

Great photos!
CricketsGarden - your garden looks beautiful.
What they said - it all looks terrific. Good job!!
I put two eggplants per 25 gallon pot. REason is== One eggplant per 8 gallon dried up too quickly. They can really suck up the water. So I am trying the 2 plants per 25 gallon in hopes the extra soil will keep them from drying out so quickly. Will see what happens later on===if the aphids don't kill them first. I really don't want to spray them with chemicals but I might have to. I been trying to let the lady bugs do their thing but I don't have enough lady bugs to go around. The lady bugs did clean up my pepper plants. When I see a lady bug elsewhere in the gardens, I take it to the eggplants.
I love the 25 gallon pots . you can grow just about anything in them.
I have about 28 25 gal but not using them all this year.
Thanks for the compliments. I have some other photos but haven't taken the time upload yet===been uploading during break time.
Not a veggie but growing amongst the veggies.

Oops! 1 dry = 1.16 liquid. Which means 20 gallon dry.
Other varieties of Bell Peppers are= Super Heavyweight Bell, Purple Beauty, California Wonder, Calwonder yellow,
and Red Beauty.
Other peppers are= of course the Fooled You Jalapeno,
Early Jalapeno
Hot Cowhorn
Sweet Banana
Cayenne
Wanted to grow Paprika but couldn't find a good variety of seed.
Wonderful pictures, wonderful garden. Sweet Million are my all time faves. If I could only grow 1 type that would be it. Until they really come in, they ae my personal garden snack, my reward for hard labor, and very few make it to the house! My plants are still in the mini GH, don't get planted out for another couple of weeks, so your pictures make my mouth water!

Thank you Pam. I also love the Sweet Million too. I thought I would try the Tommy Toe this year and already I am disappointed. But the tommy toes also have much larger toms than I thought they would have. I love the sweet million plant. It is a beautiful plant. The prettiest tomato plant I have ever seen. And the clusters of cherries are huge. The biggest cluster I have had so far was 18 inches wide and a bout that long too. I always have sweet millions with my coffee when they finally start to ripen and they really do produce abundantly. They do tend to split when it rains for a long time or when over watered but that doesn't happen very often.
I have recommended it to several gardeners and they love it now.
Wow! Sweet Million on steroids! I've never seen a cluster that huge! But once they get going, two or three plants yield enough to go around and some to share. Another one I tried and liked last year is 4th of July. Very early, not full size but bigger and also a nice flavor. This year I'm also growing Brandy and Sungold.
My experience in the past has been to be disappointed in large tomatoes- misshapen, various ugly problems, very few nice enough- or tasty enough- to bring to the table. One reason is that I'm not always around to water consistently, etc. But also there are so many garden stands around with such a great selections it seems silly to go to the trouble unless the results are sure to be outstanding. Sweet Million is always worth it.
