The first sentence is correct: "My garden has green peppers, carrots, and three different kinds of tomatoes."

Briefly: it uses proper list punctuation (the Oxford comma is optional but acceptable). The em dash in sentence 2 is unnecessary, sentence 3 is missing commas, and sentence 4 wrongly treats the last item as a parenthetical aside.
