Backyard Garden Update 8/28

1 tomato 8/28

I picked all the dead leaves off of the bottom half of the tomato plants... some vines are over 10ft in length.  

out of control oregano

training bush summer squash up the cucumber trellis

too much spearmint!  some roots have made their way to the other side of the zucchini

only 2 out of 6 acorn squash (table king) are doing well.  The others are probably suffering from transplant shock.  They may die...would be a shame since theyve taken up so much space.

2 rows of bright lights swiss chard where the mini eggplant were. (sowed last week)

first baby leaves of 2 rows of swiss chard in extension area next to radishes.  Slugs and bugs have been munching on the leaves a bit.

directly in front is the chard I transplanted from the deck and you see radishes and acorn squash in the back.

Acorn squash table queen transplants doing better than table king.  they're starting to grab hold of the fence.  Suffering from powdery mildew, which is also affecting the radishes below them.

slowly but surely

over 50 still on the vine, they wont all be able to turn red before the frost.. already its too cold and the leaves are falling off.
