Yeah, some people dig up their spring tomatoes and plant a new crop of fall tomatoes. 

Not me, though. It's hot and I'm lazy. If the plants survive, I'll get fall tomatoes.

I am taking my first shot at starting new fall tomato plants from sucker cuttings.  I've got several cuttings from the two plants that were most prolific for me in the spring - Matt's Wild Cherry and JD’s Special C-Tex (Texas Early Black).  I'm told that if they root/take, they will produce as soon as temps fall into the range, without having to wait the stated number of days from transplant to production as for new plants.  We'll see....

Another pepper haul. Poblanos going hard in the late summer heat. I've never grown Cayenne before but this one little plant is cranking them out. Been dicing them up and cooking with them. Adds good spice to any meal.

All these cherry tomatoes from one plant. Pulling a handful every day.

My weeds are looking fantastic right now.  I can only get to the garden to do any work on weekends, and these stupid grasses that pop up can grow quite a bit in 5 days.

So I'm drying out a bunch of poblanos, japs, and cayennes this fall/winter. When I eventually grind them up, should I remove the seeds? I plan on using it for both chili and salsa. Maybe two batches - one with seeds for salsa and one without for chili?

Go look into “square foot gardening” and see what you can do with that.

A 4x4 area isn’t going to get you a whole lot of typical garden things. SFG will help with some of that, and help you manage the space better.

For example, you could do a single tomato plant, some lettuce, carrots, radishes, herbs.

Things that need space, not so much unless you want just one thing. Like you could do one of something like watermelon, cantaloupe, squash, etc.

Depending on your location, you may also be able to do a spring/fall run too.

I have a roughly 4x4 area I'd like to put a garden in. What types of vegetables are recommended for Comal County? Would like it on the low maintenance side if possible. Thanks!

4x4 low maintenance in Comal?... peppers bro.
