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

Fruits of labor

Lovely French Breakfast radishes & sungold cherry tomatoes

Lots of cracks after heavy rains.

Nice and bushy now :)

Purple spotted leaves have appeared on all the plants.

Some weird disease that afflicts a couple of my plants every year...

As you can see, the tomatoes I'm growing this year (Red and Green Zebra heirloom tomatoes) are very susceptible to cracks and scarring - nearly every single tomato I've picked is cracked. It's been raining a lot which doesn't help. 

Honestly though I don't care because they taste so damn good. Like a million times better than those hard Publix tomatoes that are "ripened" with gas and taste pretty bland. These are juicy and meaty and sweet. 

Since I've been harvesting roughly 10 tomatoes every few days, and we can't keep up with eating them at that rate, I simply cut around the cracks and scars to prevent mold from growing and store them in a glass container in the fridge. Whatever is not eaten within 1 weeks time I'll turn into a sauce and freeze.

Also, after lots of delaying, I finally purchased a pressure sprayer. Before I was using those horrible spray bottles from home depot at $3 a piece. One broke after using it twice. And trust me when I say your hand will hurt after spraying 10 plants with it. I literally stopped spraying my plants since the spray bottles were such a pain in the ass.

I used the pressure sprayer for the first time today and it was AWESOME. Finally sprayed the plants with an organic copper fungicide and next time the plants are overrun with caterpillars I've got BT on hand.
