The advantage to tying the tops down is to allow the lower nodes to catch up!

Exactly my friend. I'll let him go a little longer without water this time it's been about 4 days last time I looked last night before I went to bed they was okay but one I went ahead and gave it just a tad cuz all of its leaves was drooped I must have missed that one on the last water but I gave it enough to carry it over until I water all of them tonight

This is what the pepper plant looks like in full bloom. Also how do you like one of my okra plants. And here we have my lovely eggplant never growed and never ate
Careful about bringing the outside bugs in!
Well their definitely not looking as good as yours but I am hoping to get any advice to be able to reap my reward . I know I need lots of work but any advice that can help for next season is mostly appreciated
I hope your weather holds the bring those to harvest...looking good out there!
One suggestion I have is to plant in something other than tires next season. From the NC State website:
"Tires contain aluminum, cadmium, chromium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, molybdenum, selenium, and sulfur, as well as a high level of zinc. They also contain plasticizers and accelerators used during the vulcanizing process. In addition, rubber can also absorb heavy metals like lead.
"As tires breakdown, these toxic substances leach out, contaminating the soil, the plants, and leaching through storm water into creeks and lakes. Over time, this could pose health risk for gardeners or those consuming the produce. Contaminants can be breathed in; they can be absorbed through the skin; or consumed."

Ok perfect I so much issues with weeds and thought that might help but not think of all that so am definitely going to set up something different next season.. hopefully a green house
If you can, use store-bought soil and there won't be weeds in pots (except what blows in).

Honestly I'd go with the flow take them from those Solo cups go to a gallon go from a gallon to a three and go from a three to a 10 and you will reap your rewards. Especially if you let Uncle shed give you a good feeding regimen I'm sure he wouldn't mind helping you out look at my rewards I reaped off of two plants seven and a half ounces!!!

To be honest with you Shed only thing I brought in from outside was a ladybug and I think that's a good thing
Lol yah I went straight in the ground last year and had issues with weeds so I tried this seeing how I had lot laying around but just didn't think about what could leach off of them bit last year one of my plant produce a 7in a half ounces with no food just water but this year I'll be lucky if I get half of that who th all my plants
You've come to the right site!

Are these the ones you started in outside soil?
If so I would get a gallon bucket buy you a bag of Happy frog soil and transplant them and then we go from there
