I'm feeling very irritable.

May 31, 2012

The garden is filling in and is very green, but it appears to be the same terrible gardening I've had every year, where the plant grows and dies before any fruit come or worse it never makes edible fruit. I feel a bit lost. By my planning I should have lots of zucchini and cukes by now, but I don't. They grew very slow for awhile. Seemed to halt growing all together there, even though they have grown more recently. My corn keeps falling over exposing roots. I had them planted closer, but the books were saying a foot apart. They are a foot apart and now they are falling over. I don't know what I did.

My sunflowers are dying or dead. The treehoppers are draining them of life. I can't catch all of them with my hand eaither because they hop in huge bounding motions. Then they just come back and feed. Eggplants are nearly eaten to pieces by flea beatles. Tomatoes have blossom end rot. Almost all of my herbs are dead. What is this hangup with herb? I am killing transplants from the greenhouse now. I feel very frustrated. I feel Lost.

I'm on a diet workout plan to lose the baby weight; I am extra irritable. I've lost 6 pounds in the last month, but I feel like giving up on the garden and the diet.

It seems i remember one of your post mentioned you using blood meal. What are you using it on?

@RoriTx: no not bloodmeal. I put neptune's harvest of fish and seaweed emulsion fertil... blend. Maybe I'm not using enough. I don't have one of those hose attachments where you spray it out or a gallon container so I usually put a half cup or so in a huge mixing bowl and add water, and pour a little out on a raised bed. So about half cup per raised bed.
