My North garden is weeded, it is odd seeing black ground on one side and very few weeds even trying to come up.
Tomatoes are loaded with fruit but none are near ripe. I have picked two Black Russian tomatoes and that is all that has been ready.
Tomatoes turned into a semi-jungles but due to planting pattern I have not gone whole hog on thinning them out.
Onions planted between them are doing real well despite reduced sunlight but broccoli look like they are on a week long drunk.
Carrots that showed up after I though they were doa are doing well.
I treated most of the garden first with Sonata and then Copper fungicide a few days ago, Copper was actually for Lilacs and such but I put extra on veggies.
I will get down South later this week and even though I totally weeded the rose garden down there I have not decided whether or not I will finally put hay bale slices between corn rows or just let the purseland go, as I have pulled most of the Quick Weed and Crabgrass. but I will dig out the last of the old Red Raspberries as they act like they still have the disease than caused me to rip out the other 90 percent.

I wonder if a new thread -- Late summer/ fall -- should be started but I would just use this one if it were up to me.
