What's in your vegetable garden?

Here in August, the tomatoes should be raring to pick. But they are not maturing well. Not sure if it's because I planted late (late June - cold weather), or not enuf fertilizer along the way. While the soil was prepped, I used a garden fabric this year to keep the weeds down. Unfortunately, that made it tuff to apply fertilizer thru the tiny openings for the stems. So after a few weeks of surgical applications, I just thru it on the fabric thinking / hoping rain and irrigation would dissolve and pass thru the fabric to the soil / roots. Maybe not??

ps - fabric seemed a good way to avoid lots of bending, etc. Had hip replace this spring.

I think a rabbit. A lot of snapped zucchini stems and chewed up leaves.

Or a groundhog.

Just made a nice sized batch of salsa with nothing but fresh ingredients. Restaurant quality.

I lost my yard to my German Shepherds, so I did container gardening on my from porch. I have broccoli and red cabbage coming up very late, and many hot peppers. The habañero and Thai chile are flourishing, and my ghost peppers are just now ripening. I have two Carolina Reaper plants that have about 20 green peppers on each.

why would our cucumber and tomato plants all be turning yellow and dying? Is that a sign of slugs? overwatering? It's been happening at an accelerated pace over the past 2 or 3 weeks.

Slugs would leave holes in your plants and over-watering would be hard in this heat unless your soil is just not draining.
