Hello,
I have been planting a square foot garden for the past 2 years. I usually plant peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, beets, carrots, radishes, pole beans, chard and a few herbs. I have used quality products and compost from Mel Bartholemew's company. My problem is my garden has not produced until August. Once August comes, my pole beans finally blossomed and started producing. Same with cucumbers. Other vegetables such as my carrots hardly grew at all, as well as my radishes. I bought my products from my neighbor who uses the same products and her garden is placed in the same position on the West side, getting the same amount of sun; however, her garden produces much earlier than mine. I water till thoroughly wet, but without runoff, about every other day.I even tried using garden fertilizer later in the season with little results. Would you be able to give me any helpful tips that might help my garden start growing in the spring? Thank you in advance!! Also, do you have any tips about using/avoiding use of herbicides/lawn products near the garden? Sincerely, Leslie
Utah County Utah
