2020 Garden changes

[DFBrews]

Tomatoes are so fussy. I'm trying to make sure the calcium balance in the soil is good...but man, it's a battle. That's good advice for the seeds, though. Maybe when I finally master growing them, I'll start on the seeds.

Cal mag is readily available around town garden centers
Soil ph can lock out the nutrients too making them unavailable

I'm learning how much I don't know about tomatoes!

The only thing we've done for the tomatoes is. Spray neem oil, for the aphids , either they grow or don't. Stick to roma and cherry ones down here. the beefsteaks suffer from the heat / monsoon dilemma. Too much water than, heat for weeks on end. So we end up with very tough skinned, cracked (chasm actually) tomatoes.

With all that effort, I'm just tempted to buy and can a couple of cases and call it done!

Tomatoes are doing well. Onions and carrots too! Potatoes are doing well. First time growing those.

My Garden is doing Great this year harvesting a large bowl of lettuce and large bowl of spinach almost daily. Also picking 6 to 8 zucchini and 6 to 8 yellow squash every day. Have spaghetti squash, butter cup squash, and cucumbers coming in. Tomatoes are loaded looks like I might be filling a few 5 gallon buckets this year.

Watermelons and cantaloupe growing but dont see any fruit on them

We planted very late. I just now saw my first tomato this week. We have something like 25 pepper plants with zero flowers, let alone peppers.

tactical_2012, I am jealous. We also planted pretty late, and my squash plants seem to be in a holding pattern as far as growth. Hopefully the rain we got tonight will help with a nitrgen boost.
