When it comes to hot peppers we are at 100%, everything else, not so much. The first year I planted here the garden was amazing, but every year after that was less and less impressive. I had 6 melon plants growing this year and they started out amazing, had over 15 fruits, then over a 2 week period everything rotted. Tomatoes, total bust, between 20-30 plants and less than 5 tomatoes, that nobody wanted. Bean plants made a few million flowers but next to no beans. The poles did better than the bush this year. Hot peppers are still growing for now. I got some herbs that are going good, but those are mints, which are pretty easy to keep alive once they get started.
I have planted some fall/winter plants and hope to get something out of them. If one of the spinach plants makes it to full size I will consider it a major success.
