This is the saggy plant edition of our garden. The heat here has been in the high 90's and my plants don't like it.
I'm hoping since all the plants have yellow leaves that it's just the heat or is there something wrong with my tomatoes?
Does anyone else have yellow leaves?
I picked the last of my lettuce and a few tomatoes.
Our pumpkin is turning yellow and I saw a couple more starting. The pumpkin plant blocks the stairs at the deck.
Two other plants that are doing well are the basil--which took awhile to grow and the oregano. We've loved using the fresh oregano in our marinara sauce and in salads.
Now I really have to think about replanting. The pepper plants are not growing very well and the beans are about to the end.
Does anyone else have good ideas about what to replant this time of summer or should I just wait until the fall season?




My tomatos are yellow from the heat too - though I'm not an expert gardener so I don't know what it means!
ReplyDeleteThat pumpkin plant is going to take over the world. I'm really enjoying your gardening updates.
ReplyDeletewater-lack of it or too much can cause issues. Deep watering 1x/week is preferable to surface watering daily. Also, I've found that many plants are happier when they are left to ramble as they were intended-tomatoes included. :)
ReplyDeleteYour lettuce leaves are huge! Yum Fresh tomatoes and lettuce!
ReplyDeleteYour garden looks good. The yellow leaves could be a lack of vitamin in the soil. You could try scooping a little "black cow" compost on them to see how they do. Your lettuce looks amazing. Mine went to seed, guess I planted it too late. I'm going to replant cucumbers to see how well they'll do this late in the season.
