Hi Carla, my most consistently producing tomato for a few years has been Indigo Rose. A smaller tomato, but still has home grown flavor. My current favorite pepper is shishitso. I don't do well with bell peppers, but love the Serrano, jalapeño, chiltepin, banana and a few other hot peppers. My bells are always thin walled
. Japanese eggplant and zuchinni are doing well as well as trombetta squash. My goodness, that squash is going to take over the back yard! It is like the jack in the beanstalk of squash! Tastes good too.
Also have gazania, salvias, thyme, Malabar spinach, chives, sage, vinca, angelonia, lemon bean, wire vine, marigolds, canna, gingers, turmeric, lemon balm, basils, tomatillo, a few roses and plumeria doing pretty well. I like to try everything. I have a few Epiphyllum and other plants hanging in my citrus trees for shade and they seem to be happy. The secret for me having any success in our extreme climate is just finding the right microclimate in the small space.
Keep us posted on what works and doesn't.
Best wishes.
