I'm in California and still have these indoors under a 400hps 24/0. Damn things are starting to flower. They are about 15" tall in 4" square plastic pots.
Getting ready for 2017 starting indoor going outdoor

This arrived yesterday. It's a Doyle's Thornless Blackberry. It's taken me 5 years to finally buy one. $20 a plant plus $10 for shipping. I can't figure out where to put it quite yet so I put it in a 1 gallon grow bag for now and set it off to the side. Second year is suppose to produce 10-20 gallons of nice size blackberries. Ya 10-20 gallons?? 
First year is suppose too do ok. We'll see.

I'm not really ready but these need to go outside. The flower below looks like a mini sunflower. It's a mato.
There are roughly 40 plants in here. Busy day for me today.

I've got some in small pots with little tomatoes on them. But the roots tell me they want a bigger pot.

I sure like my veggie garden outside like my other garden inside. Just in a different way.

Indoors is not an option for me. I'm doing a Spring crop now, so I'm not lugging water for as long in the hot ass summer. Just found a worm {looking at pictures of the seeded limbs} near the end of the right limb. This was this morning, so the fucker has ate and shit all day.

This is nice to see in the garden. A lil volunteer.
Black Beauty tomatoes are popping out. The peppers are starting to flower with a few peppers starting to replace the flowers. Dark salsa will be interesting. I hear these are real tasty. First grow of these so we shall see.
I need to get my corn and a few others going too. So far 16 mato plants of 4 different varieties (blacks, reds, orange, and yellows) and 8 peppers of 3-4 varieties are in the ground and doing great.

Getting a late start. I had started seedlings back in late feb/early mar but didn't have the lighting to keep it alive as it took longer than expected to get warm enough outside.
Tomatoes:
Blue Gold Berries
Lucid Gem
Michael Pollan
Wagner Blue Green
Black Vernissage
Pink Bumblebee
Costoluto Genovese
Reisetomate
Watermelon
White Wonder
Orangeglow
Starting everything in coco fiber in old egg trays. When they germinate and have a chance to root out a little I'm transferring to solo cups then outside to soil. I'm also kratky'ing the tomatoes three plants of each variety in 5 gallon buckets to compare output quantity/quality.

I'm a couple weeks late this year. I got out early last year, and got frost damage, so. . . .
Pink-eyed Purple Hull peas are blooming.
Green beans blooming.
Corn is starting to tassel.

^^^^^^^^^^^^ This is what this pepper plant is. Started from seed. They are getting there. Nice clusters. Even being green, they are tasty with heat lasting 5 mins which is perfect for me. I picked a few red ones I found inside. Very nice. I'll most likely jar these up with some garlic, vinegar, and so on for some winter heat. Peppers are 2-3"s.

Nice peppers. I'll try to remember to get a picture of my pepper pit.

This picture of the little trench was taken June 3rd. I'm picking peppers off these plants now. Jalapeno Early, Anaheim chili and Mini Sweets.

I didn't notice this before. Are you doing some kind of flood and drain with the 5 gallons?

That is my redneck raingutter grow system. Tomatoes really kicked ass for a month or so. Then we had 20+ days of rain and no sun, and most of them have cashed. I picked a lot of tomatoes. Pruden's Purple, Brandywine and Yellow Pear. I have 4-5 on the porch that are still doing well. Might try young ones in the buckets, but haven't bought but one recently. It was a Summer Set, a heat tolerant hybrid.

Here is the real RGGS. I need to just go ahead and do it this way, but I'm not good at time management, so my plants always get too big too soon, so I have to knock something together.

When you use the buckets in water like that, you have to use good light potting soil in the bottom how ever deep the water is. I had my water too deep, so it got in to the real soil mix with all the manure composts and what not. Then when it rained everyday, the soil in the whole bucket got too wet. All the leaves fell off, but the tomatoes continued to ripen.
I rigged the drain so the water would go into my pepper pit. {which I will try to remember to take pictures of}
