My plant isn't really doing well, but I suspect it is from placement and lack of water. I'll just wait till fall.

While I was on vacation one or multiple rabbits got into my garden (which I thought was fortified with several layers of defense) and ate all of my beans and peas. All of them. Two dozen plants that were all 2-3ft tall. They also ate all of my carrot greens (pretty sure the carrots won't make it without their greens) and all of my pepper plants, including the peppers on them (I thought rabbits didn't like spicy stuff?!) and all the strawberries and flowers on the strawberry plants. They also went through the front yard and killed several vines and flowers by chewing through the stems before wandering away to go make more rabbits. This is ridiculous.
The upside is that I had just replanted about a dozen beans and a dozen peas that didn't sprout or got killed by hail the first go around and they are just sprouting now, so the rabbits didn't get them. They are sprouting this week. Also, rabbits don't like tomatoes or green onions. Better luck next year, I guess..![]()

Harvested a bag full of thai and other peppers, a bag full of water crest leaves, kaffir lime. And I dont even like salad that much... maybe next year I ll plant some steak and burger instead.
We just harvested our first batch of potatoes, about 15 lbs of fist sized taters from a 5 gallon bucket, 4 more buckets to go.

Wow, HoneyBadger, that sucks. That's like an apocalyptic rabbit plague. With the amount they ate, you're going to have dozens of rabbits soon. Chunky said he's just going to plant burger next year...you won't have to because you'll have plenty of the one of the other white meats to eat...get your rabbit traps ready. You'll get the last laugh when those bunnies end up in your crockpot.
Well I did have some nice tomato plants until last night...the lettuce and arugula keep producing and the pepper plants are not so happy with all this wet weather.
Next year I move back to plants in pots facing south as the tomatoes love it there and grow like crazy.
My gardens producing really well I'll get some pics up asap

Today's harvest. Regarding the carrots, there are a lot more where these came from as I only pick what we will eat that day. The rest stay safely in the ground until it's their turn.

Your jalepenos look small and mine always come out the same. Don't get me wrong - they're great for dicing, garnishing, and grilling, but they aren't big enough for stuffing. And that has kind of been a goal of mine for a while. I haven't figured it out yet.
And I don't believe it is a matter of leaving them on the plant longer. I've left some out until they've 'oaked' and they haven't increased in size at all. And at least in my case, it isn't the variety I'm planting.
Maybe it is just our climate and early onset of constant sun. Or maybe I'm doing something wrong.
If anyone has any ideas - please let me know.
Aside from that frustration of mine, everything in your pic looks green, clean, and awesome! And I'm jealous of your peas. Mine have burnt up 2 out of 3 years.
