Plants and Compost bin

This is my first successful attempt at growing vegetables.  I have tried in the past and have always failed.  This time my parents were there and they provided me with some valuable advice :).  We also made a compost bin- there is quite a bit of information on the internet to make your own.  I was astounded at the amount of organic waste coming out of the kitchen everyday.  My daughter helped dig for some worms and we had a working compost bin.     





 There are a couple of tomato plants and one serrano pepper plant.  The pepper plant is almost always full of bugs.  I spray it with a mixture of neem oil and water.  That seems to help.  It hasn't affected the output. 
My cousin, who has a house of her own in NC, has an extensive garden.  She advised me to install the stands for the tomato plants early on.  I was negligent and waited until the day one of them nearly broke.  I hurried to Home Depot got a couple of stands and tried to put it in without assistance.  That was a big mistake.  I put it in halfway, realized I needed help and took it out.  I broke quite a few branches :(.  It's doing well now.
