Sooooo I go out to to look at my peach tree..... all the damn peaches gone when I say gone nothing not even a half eaten one. And they wasn't even full grown. Nothing on the ground but some seeds rather the pit
 
That sauce looks dope @Inori

Think my pepper/chill plant (cant remember what type) is ready to harvest too a couple too... Not sure how big they are suppose to get though... When I waited for one to go red last time I ended up with a soft mouldy spot, so think its best to get a couple green ones whilst I can...

Noticed I quite a few white aphids on the leaves too, not as bad a the bell pepper I had to get of though... Do pepper attract them or something???
 
Also I been eating alot of those yellow honey cherry tomatoes, man they are delicious... They got such unique strong smokey, BBQ flavour...
 
Peppers look decent??? Gonna cut them open and give them a try...

My peppers were way too strong, not spicy just really strong tasting... So I think that means they were picked too early...

On the plus side I finally managed to grow some bigger tomatoes...

I still cant grow decent beefsteaks ones, they always seems to end up with end rot or really soft and mushy but Im happy with these medium sized ones!!!

do you leave them out and only pick them once they are fully red? You can pick them once they start changing color and let them ripen indoors to try to prevent that rot I think. Do you give your plants any kinda food?

Yeah man I picked the medium ones a tiny bit earlier as I was worried about them going funny... Problem with the big beefsteaks is they get end rot when they are green too!!! lol

I do feed them about every other week or so... Last year I even tried giving them calcium too, hoping it would help (it didnt)... I got a suspicion it might be down to irregular watering and maybe also feeding??? I think that can cause blossom end rot... Thing is being in a greenhouse in UK summer its hard to be really strict with watering as weather is so unpredictable and I dont wanna overwater them, guess I should be more clockwork with feeding though...

Maybe next year I might try growing beefsteaks outside and move them into a greenhouse if we get really bad weather etc I dunno, Im close to giving up on them and going no bigger than medium varieties!!!
