Vegetables Gardening - Growing Organic Vegetables

Boy, I hate to admit this, but try as i may, this method did not produce vegies for me. I had beautiful plants, but no produce.

My potatoes looked awesome. I couldn't wait to dig in -- absolutely no potatoes. I was shocked.

Corn was tall, healthy, beautiful. Very little corn. I did not harvest any. Grasshoppers loved those plants.

I fertlized as recommended. I watered daily as recommended. I weeded. I hoped for an over abundant year. Nothing.

Okay, I lied a little. I did get several tomatoes, several peppers, beets were okay, and a few cantelope (from the volunteers).

Everything was a disappointment -- BUT I would really like to think it is due to our 3rd year of drought and super hot temps --think 100 daily. I wonder if the ground is so dry that all moisture just gets sucked down to never, never land. We've lost several mature, large pecan trees in the past two years. Gardening is discouraging these days. Hoping I can get the desire to do a fall garden.

Thinking next year I will start everything in greenhouse and have a very early spring garden. I refuse to give up.
