Baby bok choy

New raised bed with baby bok choy and swiss chard

Broccoli, swiss chard, kale, bok choy

Poblano pepper

Lacinato kale

Bok choy & swiss chard seedlings

Papaya tree started from seed

Mango started from seed

Bell pepper plant bought from store, only producing one pepper. 

Still have yet to have great success growing peppers.

Poblano pepper, store bought. So far, the second pepper growing. Looked deformed and diseased until added a layer of homemade compost and then finally new growth started appearing, looking much more healthy. 

Lemon started from seed! Hope it produces lemons one day... Also on my wish list of trees to grow: Orange, starfruit, papaya, grapefruit. 

Cukes

Kale on left (still growing in this heat!), French marigolds, and no-idea-what-the-flowers-on-the-right are called.

Broccoli gone to seed on left, kale in foreground.

Random tomato plants keep growing in the ground from tomatoes I left to rot; none of course produce anything because of terrible soil and root-knot nematodes.

Compost, baby!

Tomato plants roughing it out in the hot sun.

Bad idea planting spinach and lettuce at this time of year :)

Random potted plants. See if you can spot 'em. Oregano, thyme, marigolds (haven't bloomed yet), starfruit seedlings (why do they germinate and then stop growing?!), tomato seedlings growing with some random vine plant. 

Dill gone to seed

Dino Kale!

Some hot pepper variety, free thanks to the helpful gardener forum
