How is Your Fall Garden?

I ask this because I have no idea how my fall garden is doing because it's my first attempt at growing it in containers. I chose to stick with a few tomato plants and two containers of summer squash and Zucchini.

The summer heat hasn't broken yet. (I could leave that as written, but there's a lot more to it. The rest will sound confusing.)

We are in a drought, and yet there is a lot of humidity with temperatures in the upper 90s for highs. The containers are not drying as expected - I've over-watered again? That was days ago, I did everything I have learned, and yet the plants look wonderful... I guess?

Have you ever been confused about your garden?

More things that are odd to me, and yet, I knew it would happen. I let the grass and weeds grow instead of mow them. The last time I mowed was around July 2. I push mowed through poison ivy and whatever God/Mother Nature grew. I haven't mowed since. The drought has killed off so much of the new growth - it's looking brown. Weeds are going to seed.

I might be the first gardener that likes seeing weeds go to seed. I added to the growing spaces a lot when my family showed little interest in tomatoes and peppers I grew. I shared a lot of F2 seeds with nature.

My idea is to give nature a helping hand. How is Your Fall Garden?
