First jalepeños of the season. My Thunder Mountain Longhorns are also starting to change color as well as some Violet Sparkles. Most of my peppers are flowering, although I have one little flowered pepper that is having trouble setting fruit. I think its a Bird Pepper, but it may be a Thai Dragon F2.

You are going to have a lot of tomatoes soon I think.

Question- my pumpkins on a stick eggplant have been flowering for a few weeks, but no fruit. I’ve never grown eggplant before. Is this what they do? Plants seem big and healthy with ferocious thorns on the leaves.
they are self fertile just like tomatoes i think, so maybe try the shaking them method if youre not getting much buzz or wind pollenation
Yeah, I don’t think it’s a pollination issue. It seems to be something else. Zillions of pollinators and it’s usually windy here.
Chili peppers, orange sweet peppers, and red and yellow cherry tomatoes. The tomatoes are growing like crazy now that it has been consistently warm for the last month. Peppers still a bit behind.

After drying the plot out and a couple rounds of fertilizer, it looks like things have turned around. The tomatoes are still a month or more behind the ones in containers in terms of vegetative growth, but they’re starting to shape up and all 3 have a couple of fruit forming. The peppers are doing even better, but not fully caught up either. I think we’ll get something out of this plot yet!
Pretty hard to see with the wood chips of the garden clashing with my bark mulch

Is that all thyme profusely flowering?
No, it’s sweet alyssum on a rampage. I do have a silly amount of lemon thyme at home but none in flower. I should get an updated shot of the herb wall.

Pontentially litchi tomato or tropical soda apple on a count of the spikes.

I also have a fair amount of Carolina horsenettle that pops up around my yard and I’ve seen in other areas that looks very similar. The ones in your picture seem to have more purplish flowers than the lighter violet to white I see on horsenettle. I pull it regularly, but it comes back from the roots pretty well.
