The tree rats have been devastating most of my tomatoes lately. Every day I find one in the yard half eaten (a tomato that is, not a squirrel, unfortunately). But I've got some growing where they can't get them. Here's a couple pics of a Better Boy that went in a couple months ago. Threads about food need pictures.

I figured out why three of mine died. Hubby parked next to them and the reflective heat burned them up. He also mowed down my garlic, grrr. The tree in the middle of the garden (hey, gotta work with what you’ve got) is leafing out so that’s going to cut out a lot of sunshine.

The broccoli and cauliflower never came up so guess I’ll try okra or cantaloupe. The okra seeds are old so those are doubtful. Did plant two potatoes from a potato that had sprouted in the kitchen so who knows. Just one of the peppers didn’t make it but still have plenty. A cucumber somehow popped up in the salad and greens area so need to try to move him. Everything else seems fine and we’ve been eating asparagus and lettuces.

thanks . might try again one more year. Doing containers for about 10 years. Results less than good. CHEAP good produce at local roadside stands

It's a little late for my garden this year, but I'll save it for my second planting and next year's crops.

Thanks

So I planted all my seedlings and they sprouted like crazy. Now I’m in a mad rush to get the bed prepared to plant the veggies.

But my spinach seeds have had a tough time sprouting. I planted a total of 10 pods with up to three seeds in each pod and only 4 seeds have sprouted.

Are spinach seeds always this tough?
