Vegetable Plants - Peppers

in all shapes, sizes, and colors, and
range from the sweetest to

.  One final attribute, most are prolific producers.
Peppers enjoy soil with plenty of organic matter, supplemented
with a balanced fertilizer.
Vegetable Plants - Cucumbers

The cucumber is a tender, warm-season vegetable that produces well
when given proper care and protection. The vines of standard
varieties grow rapidly and require substantial space. When fruit
begins setting and maturing, adequate moisture becomes especially
critical.
For best yields, incorporate compost before planting. The
best size to harvest depends on the use and variety. Do not allow
cucumbers to turn yellow. The cucumber fruit grows rapidly to harvest
size, so check your plants every other day.
Vegetable Plants - Eggplant

Eggplants can also come in many shapes, sizes, and colors. When
harvesting eggplants, they should be shiny and firm, but not hard
to the touch. Picking before they are fully grown is fine and will
encourage more fruit set. Cut the fruits from the plant, don't pull.
Harvested eggplants will store in a cool spot for 1-2 weeks. When
cooked, eggplant has a mild flavor and tender, creamy flesh.
Vegetable Plants - Tomatoes

Tomatoes are the most popular vegetable to grow and can be
easy when you keep a few things in mind.
Good soil drainage is
important in preventing root rot
, which stresses plants and leaves
them susceptible to attack by diseases and pests. Avoid evening
watering because plants don't have time to dry and will likely stay
wet until the next morning, which favors disease development.
Tomatoes are a warm season vegetable, so if they are planted
early keep your eye on night temperatures.
