1. How did your vegetable garden do this past summer?
Hello Hobojoe, I did not know you garden. Mine did pretty good this year. Corn (peaches and cream)
and watermelon (crimson sweet) did real good. No potates did not do good at all. I tried to grom
them in straw instead of dirt. Don't know what I did wrong, but it did not work. My canteloupe did
not do well. I think because I tried to withhold Nitrogen and gave too much phosphurus. I had 7
flowers on 3' vines. Finally gave extra nitrogen, but too late. I had to hand polinate the corn, as the
wind was one sided. Had to hand polinate the melons also, as there were no bees early on. I had to
get a friend to harvest the watermelons for the congregation, as I had to leave for Alaska right when
the watermelons were ready for harvest, as my son was getting married.
I did not do a garden last year, as I was building up the soil since I lost almost everything the year
before to 9" rain in one day that made me realize that I had a small drainage issue.
How about your garden?
