Me-
Tomatoes did fairly well, corn did not do well (no harvest so far, only one surviving plant), I got one very delicious cucumber after having to germinate 2 entire packets of seeds to get one fucking plant, beets did alright, the one onion I had left did fairly well, the romaine lettuce did so well I planted some more for fall, was way too hot for broccoli and the heads were all sparse and tasteless, zucchini did OK not great.
I feel like I could have stepped each plant up one tier at least if I actually had full sun, unfortunately full sun only exists between late june and early september, so while the temperatures stay warm, the plants really just don't have enough sunlight to do their best unfortunately (leafy greens are an exception, they do better in part shade usually).

Tomatoes did shit. Peppers...running out of shit to do with them. I have prepared about 5 quarts of tobasco based hot sauce. Dried jalapenos. Salsas. Pickkled. Dried this purple peppers I don't even know what the hell they are because they were mislabeled. Pickled them too. These nice orange bell peppers have been killing it. I could probably survive a month just on the peppers that grew this year.
Still working on watermelons. Only had 2 but still lots of little ones left but with the weather cooling not sure how far that will go. Starting to rotate in fall/winter vegetables now. Guess we will see how that goes.

Umm, did you ever think about selling some of your pepper sauce? I know you'd at least have 1 customer.

First time I've made this particular sauce because it's the first time I grew these peppers. If it turns out good I would probably be willing to bottle and just send some out. Not sure it would be worth selling at this quantity but if you pay for shipping then it's yours. I've been making sauces for a few years now with peppers I've grown. Have had some great ones. Had some bad ones. My garden ends up being largely peppers most years. I've gone to hot sauce/hot foods festivals a few years now and get some ideas then talk to vendor people probing for advice. It's a hobby but if I could make money from it that's cool too. I'm actually working on a from scratch hydroponic mist system and intended to test it out with some seeds I kept from the reapers I grew and a few other things. Could have a year round production cycle some day.
