I've about hit that point. The cabbage is diseased, the weeds are taking over, the broccoli's shot, the beans got rusty, and the squash vine borers have found my squash (plus powdery mildew is setting in).

In theory, we're about six weeks from the first frost. Not enough time for another crop of anything except maybe lettuce or turnips.

I'm about ready to start yanking up everything that's not performing.

On the upside: the tomatoes are coming in, the onions are ready to pull, the peppers are doing well, and the second crop of raspberries is starting to ripen.

I have one eggplant coming, too; this is my first attempt at eggplant. (Do you think six weeks more is long enough to get it to grow full-size?)
