It helps to have a few flowering tomato plants so they pollinate each other, I think they have to be pollinated to actually produce tomatoes as they are the seeds aren't they.
Bee's etc are all good
Half of that stuff looks like aloe vera type plants XD 4th Picture looks like a money plant (don't know it's real name) like the 7th pic, not sure about the lil spikey thing in the same pot though, maybe another aloe vera-esk type deal, Ah just read you 'i think i know what they are post post' lol yea the 3rd looks like a weed, why theres 3 plants in 1 pot I don't know lol!
You should try growing in those long'ish troughs and have a mini vertical garden, it's a brilliant way to optimise space! That's my next plan and automate it with a pump from my pond, Aquaponics at it's best! (I only have a small 'urban' garden)

what is the plastic bottle vertical thing your talking about? I'm doing my first vegetable garden this year too, as I finally have my own place to do it. Three 4x11 plots in the sunniest corner of my yard. I've got 2 tomatoes and lots of different peppers already going inside and they're looking pretty good. pics in the morning.

LOL well your neighbors house will be just fine if it ever caught on fire. Is your entire street a fire lane. oh nice tomato btw
I cant tell by the pic but you may be over watering , or it needs some nitrogen

tomatoes are self pollinating just shake the flowers. I just flick the stems gently. Each flower has a male and female flower. all the pollen has to do is fall from the male part to the female part of the flower.
Same for peppers

that's it...Jade....here's some wiki info:
Commonly known as jade plant, friendship tree, lucky plant or Money Plant, Crassula ovata is a succulent plant with small pink or white flowers. It is native to South Africa, and is common as a houseplant worldwide. It is sometimes referred to as the money tree; however, the tree Pachira aquatica is also so called.
Jades are evergreen plants with thick branches and smooth, rounded, fleshy leaves that grow in opposing pairs along the branches. Leaves are a rich jade green; some varieties may develop a red tinge on the edges of leaves when exposed to high levels of sunlight. New stem growth is the same color and texture as the leaves, but becomes brown and woody with age. Under the right conditions, they may produce small white or pink star-like flowers in early spring.
The jade plant lends itself easily to the bonsai form and is popular as an indoor bonsai.

does anyone know what was damaging my pepper plants, i saw a fly/bee looking bug that is black with grey stripes but dont know what that is. it looked like it cuts the leafs and take off with pieces of them. doesnt touch anything execpt the jalepenos and pepper plants.i did end up killing it and havent seen any new damage the past couple days would just like to know what it is.neem oil had no effect on it at all it would do damage even while the plant was still wet from being sprayed with neem.
