Here's the basic design:

2 tomatoes, 2 cape gooseberry, 2 ghost pepper

My first attempt at outdoor hydroponics

The tomato plants are an eldritch horror

but growing some lovely fruit

Cape gooseberries have some flowers but I don't think they usually bloom until later in the year. The ghost peppers have been drowned out by the obnoxiously large tomatoes, I don't expect any peppers from them I'm afraid.

So far I'd say my first attempt has been a modest success.

EDIT: Here's an earlier pic showing the plumbing:

Interesting! The temperature thing is very interesting. I would not have expected plants to care so much. Thanks for the response.

It would definitely be nice to not have to deal with weeds! Unfortunately I have my hands completely full with my raised bed garden, and I didn't even plant this year! Maybe next year? 😅

Yep no weeds is a plus. Indoor hydro is even better (if you have the space for it) because you don't have to deal with pests/bugs either. These little tabletop grow systems are rad I have three of them (not this exact model but similar). The marketing images are very deceptive no fucking way can you grow tomatoes in these little things, but they're great for herbs, bok choy etc.

Happy gardening :)
