Hi everyone, I planted these brussel sprout plants at the beginning of the summer and while they've continued to grow higher and higher, they have not produced any Brussel sprouts. Why is that and what can I do to get them to produce before the frost comes? Thanks

EDIT: Thanks for the helpful comments everyone! The main takeaway I got is that it is too early to harvest them and that they will keep growing even in the frost and I can expect to harvest them in a few months. Also, that I should trim the leaves and eat them!

I thought my swiss chard was getting floppy because of unusually warm weather but now I’m pretty sure they’re infested with leaf miners. They’re on every plant and half of the leaves, even if I scrape these off, is it too far gone?

I’m also seeing tiny green and tiny white bugs under bok choy and radish seedlings. I’m not sure what they are, maybe aphids? But no visible damage on those.

I’m growing these on a raised bed on my patio. What can I do? Is there a pesticide that will be safe to use?

I've never hired landscapers once since I bought my home in 2018 and built my gardens. But this year was a doozy - in the weather and my personal life. I'm so glad i asked for help! Here's your reminder to consider doing it too, in any arena of your life.
