I have 1 banana pepper plant and I’ve already harvested atleast a dozen peppers from it and it’s still full of peppers!!
Congrats nothing better than a plant producing!!

This is by far the best pepper year I’ve had…just put up a gallon bag of chopped bells and close to a gallon bag of jalapeños in the freezer 🙂

Best tomato year I’ve had in a LONG time, that’s for sure. Mainly due to weather — until a few weeks ago, it only got over 100 deg once or twice, and highs were basically 94-96 deg the majority of the time (which is perfectly fine, with the low humidity here). I don’t keep track, but I’m easily over 600lbs from 24 plants based on number of 15lb boxes given away. Ans 25lbs/plant of “good enough quality to give away” on slicers is excellent with my setup/conditions.
Peppers have been mediocre at best but mostly that’s from several screwups I made….plus laziness and lack of preparation in spring.
Everything else was “meh” to outright failure, for the same reasons. Exception being cucumbers — had a pretty normal year on those, and “normal” is a large amount of cucumbers with the right varieties.

mine are going nuts. we keep having hot dry mid-late summers, which the peppers love.

I mistakenly planted 6 jalapeno plants and they all survived the insane pests around my garden. Now I have more jalapenos than I will ever know what to do with lol. Habaneros are starting to produce like crazy. My one shishito plant has given me enough that I eat blistered shishitos like once a week so they won’t go bad hahaha.

Lol this has been one of my worst years for peppers and tomatoes. Everything else did very well though:)

Also in PA and have had an amazing pepper year also. Tomatoes did decently well, everything else has been pretty darn good! First year with a decent sized harden and we havent had to buy much produce from the store since Spring. Only been buying the things I didn’t think to plant this year, mainly onion and potato.

Garden did great, just not my peppers lol. Cold spring and cold fall, they just arent able to keep all the flowers and the ones i got are slow to mature.

I got excellent green peppers, way sooner than usual, and I didn’t plant any earlier. Maybe it was the immense amounts of rain we got in MD this year. Also abundant tomatoes, daikon radish, basil, oregano, and decent bush beans, though I’m told I’d get even more if I switched to pole beans.
