Bad result of test-digging a carrot

 I've realized through growing vegetables that my efforts and labors in my gardening activities don't always deserve a great harvest.

 A carrot, which I failed to grow in the past three years, seems to be still one of my most difficult vegetables for me.

 Today I pulled out one of my carrots for a test and I saw it unusual at a glance.

 Some root-knots are seen on the carrot and it shows it seems to have a root-knot disease, of which I'm afraid most. The disease makes a look and taste of the infected vegetables bad.
 I carried out some prevention measures like planting marigolds which are effective to ward off
Root-knot nematodes.
 I still have about 15 carrots in my garden but some of them could be infected with the disease. I just hope the damage would be minimized. :(

My tomatoes with disease (Bacterial Wilt Disease)

I found today my tomatoes which were planted in a plastic planter seemed to have some problem.
As the photos show, most of the leaves have become shabby and vigorless.

I believe my tomatoes have been infected with Bacterial Wilt Disease.

I'm very shocked when I found the fact but I know what I have to do for avoiding further infection.
I immediately removed the plastic planter out of my garden. Many young tomato fruits were on the trees but I had to throw them way......
