And that's been my problem. We have about 40 or so chickens, 10 peafowl, cats, and dogs, and an almost 1 year old son, and another child on the way. Plus I have my own biz. So finding time to weed my garden was hard. Our tomatoes did pretty good after I addressed blossom end rot. The horn worms I would also find them from the nubs. When I found them, I took them straight to my chickens to tear apart.
Our broccoli didn't do great. The plants got big but didn't produce a lot of heads. Our cabbage and lettuce did real well in late spring/early summer. The peppers took forever to grow and produced but the weeds took over by then and I didn't have much time or interest in maintaining it.
Same for the potatoes.
If you have the available room with proper temps you can overwinter your pepper plants for the next year and get a much earlier start. That's what I'm doing this year with my super hots. There are many videos online that will demonstrate how to prune the plant back to just a few main branches and dig the plant out of ground to pot it up for storage.

I'd never heard that. Thanks for the tip!
