My Harvest (peppers, potatoes)

Hey guys, just wanted to show you some pictures of my harvest. Last month I harvested some beautiful Wong Bok cabbage and some nice heads of broccoli (have to get some pictures). Been harvesting kohl rabi, I'm surprised how huge it got! As far as the peppers, they are growing like crazy and will keep producing as long as a keep up with them (very hard when you have 33 plants lol). Tomatoes still turning red. The squash are being attacked by the vine borer, very few pumpkins.

I agree. What is your secret? So many of us have trouble growing peppers.

Glad to hear it Earl :). Thanks guys, right now the peppers are doing the best.

There really is not a secret, they are in nice loose dirt 50% top soil 50% compost. They of course are all started by seed, back in February. I hardened them off very very slowly probably a month. I have given them no fertilizer except a little bone meal. Still depressed about the squash though, I was really looking forward to having quite a few. 5 pumpkins for 27 plants just isnt worth it (thanks vine borers :evil:). At least other things are doing well though :). Anyone have any pictures of their harvest so far?
