We had drought here this summer. I use deep mulch and that kept me from having to water but once a week. But the plants did suffer and the pests and disease were far more apparent this year as a result.

Mulching is a great idea. One that I only ever remember for winter and not for summer 🙈 All plants in the ground survived, but those in pots were much more affected.
I shall remember this for next season. This year my mind was not much on the garden also. Hopefully better next year 💙
I've really noticed a lot more pests this year, especially with the rain and relative humidity.
When plants get too stressed the pests and diseases move in...
