The very dry conditions continue in my early September garden, but at least the temperatures have cooled a bit over the last week or so. The fall garden has all been planted and the seedlings are growing pretty well so far. The Roma tomatoes are really producing right now. Looks like another fantastic crop of tomatoes this year, just like last year. The tomato plants are starting to develop a leaf disease that is causing browning of the leaves near the bottom of the plants, but no worries. I should have plenty of tomatoes from now until frost. The later planting of bush green beans are doing well and should be ready to harvest within the next week. Harvest also continues on peppers, celery, and a few pole green beans. I was able to harvest a few leaves from the early August planted lettuce seedlings. I have been giving these plants some shade when the temperatures start to warm up. Needless to say, I have been doing some watering, but not as much on the more mature plants of peppers and tomatoes. The late July sowing of carrots are starting to grow, although slowly. The average first frost of fall is only about 5 weeks away, so cooler weather is just around the corner. Make sure to check out the many picture of my garden below.
