Can you tell me what's going on with my jalapeno plant out front?

For the second year, my plant in front of my house, with a southern exposure (Full sun) is producing small fruit and almost all of them are red.

The plant is healthy, probably three foot tall. I get my start from a gypsy joint in New Haven every year and I don't remember this problem before. I still use them to cook with, but can they be getting too much sun or something?

They're in a planter about a foot deep and may get pretty hot with the weather lately. I'm pretty good about watering them and fertilizing with Miracle-Gro and 12-12-12 when I transplant them.

My 'Big Boy' tomato plant on the north corner of my garage towards the east is doing great, but is in the ground. It's as tall as Kimmy now and has a ton of fruit on it. The first two 'maters were small (between a golf ball and tennis ball), but the start had two blossoms on it when I got it around Mother's Day.

I'm really curious as to what's going on. Give a brother a hand if you can.

I used to do a big garden when I was married before the accident, but I can't do that anymore, I'm too banged up, man.

I have a theoretical knowledge of gardening which is why when I start a homesteading collective I will be recruiting experienced gardeners at least half my age.

How many 30- to 40-year-olds have any practical experience at growing a garden or even how to sprout seeds?

Those single line of green beans will barely produce enough for a few meals in most locations. I was using a Troy-Bilt tiller and recommended wide rows which would produce much more veggies.

It takes a lot of planning to grow a garden. I had tomato trellises that form a triangle and you would place it around the plant. The tendrils of the plant would grab onto the wires and grow up inside the trellis. This way the tomatoes would not lie on the ground and rot.

I offered soil testing back in the 70s when I was doing custom garden tilling. One customer when I told them they needed blood and bone meal for Nitrogen and Phosphorus, they refused to allow me to add those amenities because they were vegetarians.

I told them they were not eating the blood and bone and that it broke down to release Nitrogen and Phosphorus. But they would not listen. I had to make substitutions.

I used Sphagnum Peat for Nitrogen. I told them they needed to wait two weeks to plant seeds since the peat robs Nitrogen when it starts to decay and then releases it back later. No telling how that affected their seed bed if the rain shower matted down the seed bed before they got to plant seeds. ;)

I got some sort of vine that started drilling into the exterior brickwork of my house so I kicked at them until they fell away, then I kicked at them a little more until they were coiled safely away in the rocks.

I think it's some sort of Holly, but I am negative on anything that burrows, be it mortar or mud.

According to Wiki, Holly can be an invasive species. ;)

Damn, almost every shrub on the property has thorny leaves like that. The vine thingy has very distinctive five leaf per node, which made me think of like Christmas holly.

That sounds a lot like Virginia creeper. ;)
