Looks Good! Mine finally succumbed to the Heat and Humidity here. Using the same containers to try Cukes as an old Florida Gardening guide recommending for the Panhandle. Have to admit, the seedlings look a heckovalot better than those started in Spring....so far;>.
Cheers,

I've noticed that your season starts and ends much earlier than mine. We'll have heat waves (It got to 106F on Monday), but the plants aren't harmed. Extreme heat does stop the plant from setting fruit for a time.

I think it's the combo of Heat and Humidity. The Heat stops the Tomatoes from Producing but the Humidity added encourages ANY disease or Pest to go for it. Even EPs slow down(well, except for the SE Asian ones, but I don't care for the texture for most of my recipes). As much as I like Growing Tropicals, I'm starting to look forward to Autumn;>....

The shorter, broader leaf plants growing on the left are Japanese eggplant, of the Ichibon type, that bear long purple fruit.
