Frequently Asked Questions
Why are my Bush Goliath leaves turning yellow and developing spots, and how do I stop it?
Bush Goliath commonly suffers from fungal leaf spot/early blight when foliage stays wet. Water at the soil line (not overhead), remove and discard badly spotted leaves, and thin plants for airflow. If spots are spreading, spray a label-listed fungicide for vegetables (follow the interval on the label) and avoid re-wetting the leaves for at least a few days.
When is Bush Goliath ready to harvest at around 90 days?
Harvest when plants reach the expected maturity size and the pods/fruit are firm and fully colored for the variety—generally around day 90, but watch the specific color and size rather than the calendar alone. Pick in the morning for best quality, and harvest regularly to keep plants producing instead of letting mature pieces overstay on the plant.
