The only greens looking remotely happy are the Collards I have under cloth. Even the cloth-covered broccoli and cabbage in the planters are dead or dying... some have been munched on (how??). I went ahead and direct seeded the two planned broccoli and cabbage plants in the raised bed. I am probably going to buy some seedlings otherwise. These winter seedlings have been ridiculously fragile.
The candy roaster squash in the tub looks horrible, too. I can't find any specific pests, but insects are obviously the problem. Might try spraying with basil soap water, or whatever. Fall gardening so far is very very hard.
The carrots seem super happy, and some more onions are popping up. The radish seedlings are growing super fast! I need to thin them before the weekend.
I've withheld water for a few days from the swampy planter with the droopy native hibiscus. It's looking better, so apparently the problem was too much water... even though it first drooped in its old pot after a dry spell and has been droopy ever since. I don't know.
