How is everyone's fall garden coming along?
I've been fighting bacterial spot on my tomatoes. I'll kill it off for a couple weeks, then it comes back. Getting pretty annoying, but I've got a few small tomatoes growing.
Also fighting aphids like hell on my cucumbers. I'm about to pull them and re-plant just to try to get a crop in before it gets cold.
Broccoli, peppers, and cauliflower are all doing great. I'm about to plant another round of cauliflower, kale, and carrots.

My cucumbers ended up producing more than I expected so I luckily ended up with quite a few jars of pickles. Picked quite a few dragon cayennes and red chilies to dry out in a dehydrator and crush up for season. Damn, it's incredibly spicy. Ended up with about half a cup after crushing them up. This is going to last forever.

You started broccoli/cauliflower?
I figured it was still too hot to put in the ground so they have been chilling in my seed tray under light.
I haven't started carrots either but might try a row next week.
I have absolutely zero luck getting lettuce to sprout in the seed tray. I have no clue if I got a bad batch or what but I've tried 3 times so far with zero germination. I figured by now I should have at least gotten luck with one.

The heat allowed my tomatoes to grow pretty quickly. Need some more sub 90 degree days though. They’re flowering like crazy. I have a handful of small tomatoes growing already.
Was trying to wait till the day time temps got below 90 to transplant my lettuce and cabbage. Over the weekend when I looked at the forecast, I saw all upper 80’s for the next 2 weeks. So I decided to put the lettuce and cabbage in the ground. They were getting too big for the peat cups and keeping them watered was becoming an issue. The forecast has since changed and now showing some warmer weather. They seem to be doing well so far. So, that’s good. Hopefully that continues.
I also sowed a row of carrots. So far so good. Lots of sprouts. Just have to keep them well watered. Eventually I’ll have to thin them. Had a good germination rate for those.
ETA: I’ll have to try to take some pictures this afternoon. I think this is the healthiest my garden has looked all year.
