How is everyone's fall garden coming along?

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.
