Well I got my first strong beans. Yay me. Granted I have 4 plants and getting a couple of string beans French is not a meal. But it is a start.

My tomatoe plants are both over 4 ft tall, yet nothing coming from them. Not even a blossom. That’s sad. Zucchini look nice but nothing yet. Same with carrots.

Been doing a lot of stuff with herbs. Basil with home made mozzarella and tomato is delish. That’s what is upsetting me with my tomatoes.

Tomorrow doing another 4x4 SFG. Cukes, more carrots and more tomatoes. Hopefully this time around will be better.

What kind of tomatoes did you plant? When did you plant them? What sort of fertilization did you use?

Try 3% rock phoshate. If you can, dig a small hole near your plants and put about a handful of rock phosphate in the ground next the plants. They’ll love you for it.

I had that problem last year with the 'matoes--tall but the blossoms fell off. Maybe they need more calcium or potassium and not as much nitrogen. If you have a calcium mineral tab crush a few and add in around the soil. Epsom salt is good too. I also didnt cultivate deep enough last year either... add some eggshells to the garden after harvest.
