I live in a condo, so I really can't grow much, but I do have a some red chilis, and some flaming hot habenaros. One bite is all it takes, I forgot to wash my hands, and it's like applying ultra icy hot to the skin.

5 tomato plants and they have been boffo. Have already made a few tomato pies this summer...good eating.

Got way more than I can handle. In 4 years of growing them, this year has been the best.

Eggplant going strong.Banana peppers doing pretty solid, even thought I need to come up with some recipes for them.

Green peppers have done pretty good.

Cucumbers are doing so-so, I think I got the wrong kind and they are more like pickling cucumbers. Plus, I moved them to another part of the yard.

Zucchini did OK as did the squash but they petered out about 3 weeks ago.

I actually grew some sunflowers from seed and they did well. I harvested a few heads and baked them and spiced them up and they were not too bad.

 

I have a fenced in yard so the critters didn't bother them. I knew I had some rabbits but I planted a few marigolds around the garden. I thought I had read somewhere that merigolds will deter rabbits. No problems with rabbits however, I see them running through the yard. Matter of fact, I flipped over my portable fire pit and three little babies darted about the yard. Scared the crap out of me...pretty neat watching them though.

 

I'm going to add eggplant to my list for next year. When did you start those?

 

Critters and insects were the only problems I didn't have, so the marigolds must have worked.

 

As for the tomatoes, I had some Romas and I've been sun-drying them to freeze for later use. I've done a great deal already and they've turned out pretty well.
