My June Garden Update, Problems With Tomato Blight

I went to pick some sugar snap peas and do some weeding on 6-13 (darn Friday the thirteenth) and I ended up trying to save my tomato plants. 

Let's start with the bad and end with the good.  Here is the dreaded tomato blight.  I caught it fairly early, hopefully early enough. 


 
 
 
 
 
 
I have several with affected stems.  I got some dirt and buried the stems.
 
 
This stem is so affected that the plant fell over.
 
 
 
This one doesn't have appear to have any blight on it and is my tallest tomato plant.
 


 This is one of my zucchini plants.


These pictures will now be from 6-21-14.


Isn't this picture beautiful?  It's a little cucumber, only about 1/2" - 1" long.


My watermelon hasn't died yet.



Zucchini is really growing.  I should be eating some within a week.
 

 


 


This is the tomato that didn't appear to have any blight.  I've got lots of tomatoes on it.
 
 
Super hard to see through all the weeds, but in the front of the picture is pumpkin.  Farther back is cauliflower.  The sides had peas that were just torn out and what remains is the Kentucky wonder green beans I planted about 3 weeks earlier.  Everything else (and there's a lot) is weeds.  It's hard to weed through a trellis of peas.

 
 
My jalapeño plant.  I have never harvested peppers, but I haven't stopped trying.

 
 
I forgot to weed this before I took a picture, but the rows are carrots.
