That's ALOT of mater and squash. When I got my squash, there were 2 in each little plastic container since I bought them already sprouted so mine are all doubled up. Planted 6 each Yellow and zucinni's so that's 12 each. I THOUGHT I may have messed up yesterday at lunch. I went home and was gonna shoot the miricle grow to them. Seems my bottle that you put the powder in to attach to the hose was busted so I just sprinkled a good dose around each plant and them hosed them all down for 20 minutes. Then we had a nice shower last night so I was still scared I may have burned them all up. Nope, Squash grew almost 6 inches since lunch yesterday and the Maters shot up a couple inches in 1 day
mines doing good...got a late start getting my seeds started.....most of my plants are in containers.....had virus problems last yr with blight so have went back to containers with different soil....Quote:

More tomatoes, when they come in we live on tomato sandwiches and cucumbers.
slabo, that looks like some good delta dirt. did you import it from beaver dam?
I tilled in about 2 tons of composted gin trash this year and will probably add some more in the fall.Quote:

Then I've added a few other things to it to get vegitative material to it. Steve, ain;t nothing wring with a small garden. Mines only 12x50 so it ain;t nothing big itself. Since I live in a subdivision, I can't have much.
What kind of posts are those?Quote:

They work great and I have used the same ones for 10 years or more. What is really nice is they have the little hooks on them so you can use just one length of twine to tie up your tomato's. I take a 10' peice of twine tie a knot in one end and hook it under the bottom hook on the post then just wrap it around the plant and hook it to the pole as you go up it works great! I will post some pictures later when I start tying them up.Quote:
