Have been trying for years to get a garden growing but I always ended up getting too lazy to continue taking care of the plants. At the start of the year I got cross trained for the garden center at work so I decided to give it another go. Every time I grew from seeds the seedlings would just randomly die so I got some pregrown plants.
This is a Cherokee Purple heirloom tomato. It's indeterminate which means "fuck knows how big it'll get". I named all the potted plants, this one's name is Tamahli. I got the name after unoriginally asking a friend of mine who knows Cherokee if there was a word for tomato. He said no but there was a slang term they took from spanglish.
Celebrity determinate hybrid tomato. I forget how tall it'll get. Its name is Brad because this was the first thing I thought of when I saw the species name https://youtu.be/B9mpDAJOPac
Big Boy hybrid named Chonk. Pretty sure most tomatoes nowadays are hybrids for resistance to things. Sticks from the front yard for support until I can get some chicken wire.
"Coolapeño", a jalapeño without heat. I got it because I am curious about the flavour. Originally named L.L. Coolapeño it's since been changed to a more fitting name, José.
Green bell pepper named Drake.
As yet unnamed sweet banana pepper.
Gold raspberries

All of those plants want sun, don't hide them in the shade next to your house. Tomatoes and peppers, in particular want full sunlight.

I took the pics first thing in the morning while the sun was still coming up. They're on the SE side of the house so they get plenty of sun.

Where are you @OP? It’s too early for tomatoes & peps where I am even in no. CA. I have a wee yard and make the most of it. Very calming.
