This has been one of the best garden years that I can recall since we moved to Georgia. The rain been fairly regular and they have been good soakers. I planted 12 tomato plants this year. Next year, the plan is to plant 6 and 2 weeks later, plant the other 6.   That way, the fruit will last longer through the season.  I found that pinching off the initial flowers on the tomato and pepper plants forced them to produce more fruit.  It does seem to work!

The pepper plants: Bell, Cajun Bell, Serrano, Tabasco,  Jalapeno, and Hot Chilies are all doing well “plant-wise”, but only the Serranos, Tabascos, and Jalapenos are doing great. The others are producing, but not as hoped.  The Tabasco peppers are doing fantastic and have tons of peppers on them.  Next year, Jalapenos, Serranos, and Tabascos will be the ones I plant.

The two pics of grapes above are from a $2.50 clearance vine I purchased 3 years ago.  This year, there are 7 bunches coming from the single vine.  The grapes have been small, but very sweet.
