I got my plants in the ground to late to plant the cooler weather crops. Sure hope the hail didn't do too much damage. Enjoyed your video.

@SquareFootGardening5... thanks Eric

[Thesmalltowngardener]

@ stymye.. well i took off the leaves and is monitoring it very well to see what happens it is smaller than the other and was planted at the same time so maybe it is just a weak plant im not sure but if it continues i may remove it...i have not sprayed at all yet this year

[SquareFootGardening5]

Your garden looks very good. The plants look very healthy, keep us all updated with nice videos, Eric

[stymye]

for a first garden you are doing very well ! the brussel sprout is hard to say ,,, the plant looks stunted ,, that can be systemic , root issues or even aphids ,,hard to say,, but the others look good ,, could be damage from some type of spray ?

[Thesmalltowngardener]

how to you cure blight if thats what it is

[stymye]

@Thesmalltowngardener early blight would look like yellow rings, most blights start at the bottom of the plant ,, there really is no cure except crop rotation and planting tolerant cultivars ,, you can slow/stop it's spread with a copper based spray(it's organic). But I really don't think it's blight.. Were the leaves white powdery spotted before they turned yellow?

Nice garden. The stuff on the brussel sprouts looks like blight to me. I hope it doesn't affect the rest of the plant. Your tomatoes are way ahead of mine. Posted my first garden vid this week as well. Keep us updated.

@susannamcintyre...thanks! have you gotten anything in the ground yet? or are you doing all containers?

[Thesmalltowngardener]

@praterclp..thanks...does sweet potatoes grow just like regular potatoes do?

[susannamcintyre]

I am in Texas as well. We are in zone 9b, down south. Your garden looks wonderful.

[praterclp]

Your strawberries look great. I too am in Texas zone 8b. Your garden is doing great. I just planted my cucumber plants last week, so hopefully sooon I will have them and hopefully a few tomatoes. I have probably about 15 tomoato plants (testing out varius varieties and seeds from YouTubers). I also have potatoes in containers along with sweet potatoes.
