Starting off we've been having weird weather, I planted my plants when it was high 70's soon after I bought my plants, and then two weeks later we've had tornado warnings. This led to us being in the low 50's high 60's currently. These photos are from this week.
A lot of the leaves are drying out or they're not growing as fast as I thought. I do know that my tomatoes are too close to each other and I'm trying to get a new planter set up before I uproot them again. My dad says they have "plaga" (plague) and that I should put charcoal around them but I'm not so sure. I'm new to gardening and wanted to make sure I'm not accidentally killing my plants. I also transplanted my squash and cucumbers into the ground so that they're able to spread out more and get water more easily.
The first photos are of Cherokee purple tomatoes, then there's the "special hybrid" Cherry tomatoes (ask the dude that bought them),then there's the pepperoncini, Thai chili, jalapeno, serrano, and poblano peppers.
I don't really have the money for a lot of fancy soil or fertilizer, but I do really want to try to make this work. Any advice or sources are appreciated!
