1) Look at me, look at me!!!
2) I know something you don't but I'm not telling what it is.

So because it'd make for a happier, nicer thread where people actually share with each other.. anyone wanna talk about fishing? Or perhaps gardening? Our zucchini plant was flowering a few weeks ago, and lone week between when we spotted flower and we had our first harvest, it had grown close to 30lbs of zucchini. Cool stuff. Our first tomatoes should be ready this weekend, and I'm excited to get a start on it, as we likely will have multiple hundreds of pounds from only 20 plants. We have mutant soil that tomatoes just like for some reason, and peppers seem to dislike. Every time I open the gate to go weed the rows, I'm humming "attack of the killer tomatoes".

What type of pepper? That's really strange because tomatoes and peppers have nearly identical optimum growing conditions.

We tried banana peppers, bell peppers, anaheim peppers, jalapeno peppers.. and one or two more I'm forgetting as my girlfriend was mostly in charge of those rows.

We got some banana peppers, one bell pepper, and two anaheims. Last year the plants looked very healthy and were VERY bushy but didn't flower until september, and never fruited. This year a few plants flowered WAAAY early (so early that the gf thought about pinching back the flowers, but didn't due to last year's issues) but were the ones that gave us peppers. I think she may have also done some epsom salt treatment to attempt to encourage flowering this year?

We're confused as well as to the problems with the peppers, you're not the first to tell us that they should be doing great if the tomatoes are. This is only our 3rd year doing a garden, and the 2nd putting in actual serious work to get something out of it. Luckily the tomatoes are just ridiculous and make up for any crop failures. They produce so much fruit that we had to make custom tomato cages out of PVC pipe and iron rods pounded into the ground, because they crushed the thickest gauge metal wire cages that we were able to build last year.

Sweet corn is doing really well too. We are trying that for the first time ever this year. 40 plants, two varieties. One variety has had ripe ears to eat fresh off the stalk at dinner for the past three weekends, and the other is looking like it might be ready to go this weekend or next. There's nothing quite like going out to your garden, picking fresh veggies off of the vine, and having a dinner almost entirely from your own hard work. Add in some fish from the freezer, and nothing on the table except the plates and silverware came from a store!

A tip for flowering veggie plants. When they have flowers but aren't fruiting get an electric tooth brush and use it turned on at the base of the flowers. The reason they aren't fruiting is bc the pollen isn't spreading. This is what the bees are for. Perhaps a low year for bees was the culprit.
The tooth brush will stimulate the plants. You just have to lightly touch the base for just a second.
Don't ask me how I know this info.
I can't seem to remember anything usually. 
