If I test and they come back with a high pH again, I'll add peat moss to bring it down to neutral. :)FinnyKnitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08813175777047535103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-44661462768839555852012-07-18T16:10:01.522-07:002012-07-18T16:10:01.522-07:00For once, I'm in agreement.For once, I'm in agreement.FinnyKnitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08813175777047535103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-33875851751151017812012-07-18T15:52:31.304-07:002012-07-18T15:52:31.304-07:00Hate to admit this, but it just *might* be a suck-...Hate to admit this, but it just *might* be a suck-tastic Tomato Year in SanHoe. I, too, performed the Finnyknits-Test-And-Amend-Ritual(TM), prior to planting, but I'm not getting the AMAZING results I expected. <br /><br />Might it be the weather? We've only had teasing "hints" of summer down here (down the road apiece from you - that's Farmer-Speak for "We are practically neighbors!"). <br /><br />Anyhoooo.... My mater plants have NOT gotten as monstrous as they should be, by now (although they *are* starting to produce). My friend, D (also in SSJ), who benefited hugely from the "My eyes are bigger than my yard" Shopping Frenzy @ the Master Gardeners Sale. Anyway, HER plants are still puny, too - but she's harvesting boatloads of maters (and zukes) in spite of it!<br /><br />I guess what I'm sayin' is: You are not alone in the "Why aren't my Tomatoes Threatening a Coup?" mystery.<br /><br />Now I'm *wishing* I'd planted Cukes (actually, I think I might have - but the snails must-a gotten 'em). If you *happen* to find yourself with - ahem - an "Excess" lemme know, k?! I want to try pickling! (Swap ya for some peaches, maybe?! :-)<br /><br />-QTIMQTPIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01099600708238895296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-43709767403875561542012-07-18T14:53:13.571-07:002012-07-18T14:53:13.571-07:00Next time you visit, I want to walk through testin...Next time you visit, I want to walk through testing soil, etc. Also? I kinda hope I'm going to benefit from those pickles. See how I make everything all about me?

Gave them some organic veggie fertilizer and things seem to be perking up. We are hoping for the best now. Those pickles look great. We made them for the first time this year and fell in love. The three jars we made only lasted 2 days.Melissahttp://www.shootsandroots.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-70907548765419228892012-07-17T18:19:26.968-07:002012-07-17T18:19:26.968-07:00My daughter asked me if she could eat a pickle ins...My daughter asked me if she could eat a pickle instead of her peas and who am I to argue?
