I cannot seem to grow decent peppers.
What am I doing wrong and what does my soil need?

I have plenty of farmer’s markets near me and no end of variety of veggies to but, but nothing quite compares to snacking of the “fruits” of your own labor.

If it makes gardening fun, then more power to them. I’m pretty cheap myself.

I’ve tried container gardening here in N. TX, but I’ve not had any success. My cherry tomatoes grew beautifully the first month-5 weeks, but the fruit was so small, and it took a long time to ripen, and it tasted ick. One year I had white flies; another caterpillars. Bleck on that, too.
I want a farmer to visit my plants just like a pool guy would a pool. Do whatever needs to be done. I’ll watch and hope to learn something. And within two months, I’ll be able to go outside with my salt shaker and eat tomatoes while sitting by the pool.
Heaven.

Very true! I love making salsa from our garden vegetables and our mulberries give us good jam.

I have had good success with cherry tomatoes in NE Texas.
Regular tomatoes? Not so much.

In your location you should be able to grow the variety’s cultivated in most of europe.
Hungarian wax, bannana, bell, etc.
The southern varieties wont far so well. You need more heat for those.

Visit the FR gardening thread...it is weekly and packed with news and tips. We have quite a few master gardeners on FR.
I grow great HOT peppers...and I think it is because I am horribly mean to them. Bell peppers, not so much.
