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.

The nitrogen you are using seems excessive, if you are using the same pot and soil year to year all your fertilizer levels are probably very high. Is the planter mobile? What color are the leaves?

Looks like one of the chickens that hatched in March is laying; a tiny 36-gram olive colored egg.

Not likely, the farmer that taught me that was a swingin' dick. It might 10-10-10, but that's just from the git.

Is the planter mobile?

Negative. There's a 3 x 3 staircase on the front of my house. The planters start at the edges and end at the outer end of the stairs, a foot deep.

What color are the leaves?

Nominal green.

I want wolves and sheep on my .375 acre. The city of Fort Wayne has something else to say about that.

I think I would look at replacing the soil in the planter unless you can sweet talk one of the ag students at the college to test it with recommended corrections. I keep my birds at an airport that was an air taxi service, only one plane fling/hangered there now, though yesterday there was a plane I'd never seen before doing touch and goes while we were putting the chickens up for the night. The place is literally crawling with cayote, bob cat, fox (gray) racoons etc. Not as many hawks this year and there was no black buzzard migration last fall. One of the deer had a fawn, got a bunch of pictures of her when she was pregnant and her with the fawn.

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.

Those vines are very common here, they get into any openings, mortar and windows and the associated screenage. Much holly in Virginia makes a natural blind from whence to waylay turkeys, they have thorns at the end of the leaf tips. Used as an ornamental in these parts but not very common I've only seen it on the south side of Corpus. Lot of chinaberry trees and live oaks, they have green leaves year-round and drop leaves year-round. Waste of time raking leaves until after the mast.
