What did you do in the garden today?

Could it be blossom rot? At least that is what popped in my head but blossom rot is normally in the center and not dotted.

Yes that is a bacterial infection, happen to the green tomatoes. Sometimes from watering from the top and too much water. Very contagious to green varieties and peppers. Dump the plant or try to control with a copper fungicide.

Getting Okra, peppers, and cucumbers! And of course throwing some trimmings to the hens.

@gtaus I have a pair of Bahco pruners. I've only been using them two years, but so far so good.

Thanks.

Bacterial speck, which came in the seed and blossom end rot. It has both.

NOOOOOO!!!!! That makes me really sad! I have 2 packets of these seeds... And it's on 2 of my plants...
I don't know if I'll go through the trouble of trying to control it, since it's already "showing symptoms". Or maybe I will, especially on the plants that don't show any symptoms...
Thanks for the help, even if I don't like the answer.

ETA: do I need to separate the seed packet(s) from my other seeds? Or does it just spread after growing?

I'd chuck the seeds. Not all your seeds, just the ones for that plant.

What is this new pest that has discovered my brassicas (cabbage snd Brussel sprouts) that are UNDER insect netting?

it is not cabbage looper, and when squished, it’s guts are bright green.

Looks like the kind that will, as we used to say, burn the tarnation out of you if you touch it. Yellow bear caterpillar? Not sure.

I got ( and ate) 2 cherry tomatoes! The first of the season.
I watered both gardens. The cantaloupe plants have a lot of marble size cantaloupes on them. The zucchini plants have a few zucchini each. I finally saw a baby cucumber!!
Yesterday I picked 2 nice size jalapeños.
AC should be getting fixed Monday or Tuesday!!!

Today's haul. I finally had some tomatoes turn enough to pick! Had a few cherry tomatoes turn before, but not many. My yellow pear tomatoes are turning red. Not sure if the plant was mis-labeled or what. The black cherry tomatoes are especially yummy. Like Cherokee purple. Also wondering about the pear shape of some of the cucumbers. These are from the same plant.

Most everything looks happy. Especially the squash bugs. I sprayed the heck out of the juveniles. We'll see how they look tomorrow.
