The upside down tomato plant. . . . a total failure. All instructions were followed, yet after being hung upside down the plants did a U-Turn and grew skyward. Not to long after that, they began to die. Tomatoes from these plants: ZERO. I'll save the container and seeds and maybe try again next year. The plants were kept watered, but didn't seem to like direct sunlight(despite what the packaging says).
Carrots. It's supposedly time to harvest these things, but as you can see there's not much to eat. Maybe I'll hide behind my fence and use them as darts to throw at unsuspecting neighbors as they pass by. 
Zucchini. . . . just hung out in it's self watering container and grew flowers. Zucchini produced by these plants: ZERO. Too hot for them? Too much shade in the corner?
Lettuce. I had some successes earlier with Black Seeded Simpson lettuce. I can't say I really like that type of lettuce though. I later tried planting some Romaine lettuce, which you can see in the photo above. Most of it grew like vines, with very few edible leaves to eat. This was the best looking of the plants.
Cucumbers. Too much sun. Too much heat. Too much fail. Not one edible cucumber yet. Some of the plants that grew mostly in the shade are still producing a few cucumbers, but they too look like they're about to die off.My normal tomato plant is still growing tomatoes, although the heat doesn't seem to be helping much. They don't get big, they have a tough, scarred skin, and there aren't many of them. The Green pepper plant did produce two peppers. A few more fell off when they were young. It hasn't produced any more since then. Maybe another victim of the recent heat?
