My small garden is doing incredible this year, 100 pounds red potatoes, 50 pounds of sweet onions up to 1 pound each, all the yellow and acorn squash I can eat and now the tomatoes,peppers and okra are comming on strong. I planted corn after digging my potatoes and it is about 3 foot tall. Here is a few recent pictures.

I down sized from last year a little bit so it's about 20'x40'. I use miricle grow to start the small plants then I use wal-mart 13-13-13 and water heavy to work in the fertilizer. My camera is a Kodak easy share z740 5.0 megapixel.

look like poblanos to me. my poblano plant hasn't done squat yet - but I think they are slow to mature.

The smaller peppers are pablano's, they didn't get as big as I thought they would but they taste great. They also seem to grow very slowly compared to my other peppers. I have had some really good sized bell peppers and banana peppers though.

Very impressive. My approach is similar to yours. Just wish the outcome was too!

I use rose food and lots of water and yes peppers are slow I start my seeds in Dec. and they are just now as big as my hand. Want something cool let them turn red on the vine and they get sweeter
