These photos are a bit old (Aug 23), but I hadn't gotten time to upload them. Anyway, I wanted to update how the container garden is currently looking. The plants are still producing, but the powdery mildew is slowing eating away at the plants. In the third picture, you can see the typical damage that is happening. The heirlooms are more affected than the hybrids as expected. I need to spend time cleaning up the dead leaves but haven't had time. Next year, I'll try to give more space between the plants. The other thing that I've changed in the last few weeks is the watering cadence. In the beginning, i watered the plants every other day, giving each a decent soaking at the base of the plant. However, the tomatoes tasted bland, so I thought that I may be overwatering. Therefore, these days, I'm watering every 4 days or so. The plants seem to be still doing fine as far as I can tell. (other than the powdery mildew, of course.)
