That blight is just nasty. I've heard of cutting the roots before, never tried it though. Good looking peppers. Maybe the weather will treat ya better for the fall. Its been really weird this year.

@mhpgardener Yea that blight is awful but I'm happy to see that the Roma tomatoes which are from seeds purchased five years ago which I harvested seeds from each crop every year seem to have adapted to my environment. Next season I will not grow an heirloom tomatoes just stick to the ones that work for my garden/ area maybe introduce some new strains to get them up-to-speed on evolving to my needs.

I didn't know spaghetti squash was a fall/winter thanks for the info. : )

Me = Tomato Envy, mine did ok even the ones that collapsed but they pale in comparison to yours. My zucchini, squash, lettuce, onions and radish are the big winners this year. Your strawberries look super happy....bugs have been feasting on mine as quick as they grow. I can't wait to see your Fall garden :)
