We eat every green tomato, either we can them in jam, Piccadilly, relish, salsa or just canned whole or slices for frying up all winter or if we have room in the freezer, we freeze them whole to be fried up later. Fried green tomatoes have a wonderful light tang to add to stir fry, etc. I love green tomatoes as much as red!

“Weather’s gotten colder!” Not everywhere, unless dipping below 100°F for the last four days counts. I am glad to see summer waning though. It fries everything by mid-August here in Texas, but it’s been a walk in the park compared to last summer. We ALWAYS try to plant fall crops that do much better, once the heat dies back a bit. The trick here is having to hit that narrow window of not TOO hot for starting new plants or direct seeding and still having enough time before a POSSIBLE early winter. We never know whether we’ll even have a freeze one year or if it’s gonna go sudden full arctic blast. LOL

Also, as I said in the zucchini video lol, the best thing I've ever found for powdery molds of any type is dilute lactobacillus serum. I take a good spray bottle, fill it 3/4 or better with rain water, then top it off with my 1:1 lactobacillus/molasses (or slightly less of the pure serum). Spray it liberally on the entire plant...with a heavier application on affected leaves of an evening (so it won't evaporate off quickly), and I get a foliar feeding and the mold disappears. I've never takes more than two applications, even on the worst cases. LAB is incredible for foliar feeding, and for soils...and it's completely harmless (actually beyond beneficial) to plants, humans, pets...anything living really.

@@vae884 I make it myself...it's literally in the air, on your skin...and on pretty much anything you touch. I use rice wash water to start mine (lots of recipes online...any will work...though if you start comparing them to each other it can get confusing), then once that's fermented I combine the filtered liquid with a gallon of milk. Let that sit until it separates and the liquid (whey) left over is pure lactobacillus serum. You can use brown sugar in place of molasses to stabilize it if you choose to go that route (when I do molasses I order it off Amazon...Wal Mart here doesn't carry it anymore for some reason). I mostly just keep mine in a one gallon glass jar as refrigerated pure serum though. Also, if you don't let it get moldy...you can (and should!) absolutely eat the cheese that's made in the process. If you like fresh farm type cheeses it's delicious...and incredibly good for you.

What type of soil are you using in your raised bed? It looks so rich.

Hydrogen peroxide and water for powdery mildew as well. If you could please include in your tests . 🙂

I live in Colorado. You have 20 more frost free days in your fall! What is your zone? Do your broccoli survive the winter without cover? I also saw you holding onions in your plugs?

Yessss.. fall gardening. I am excited about the next video. So, if you have baby pepper plants and tomatoe plants, then would you not grow them?
