Default Not a good year so far

I have had a hard time with peppers that are now finally starting
to take off. Now the zucchini and yellow squash is turning yellow
and the fruit are shriveling up and dying. Plenty of sun, water,
epsom salt, black cow and 10.10.10. Too much? I am so frustrated
this year. There is the whole vole problem, slow growing plants
and now this. Ideas or words of encouragement??


Um, vole problem? What are they doing?
As the gophers taught me 3-4 years ago, fertilizer does no good if
the plants don't have roots anymore.


My freezers are empty, I was counting a large amounts of produce.


That was last year for me. I was all ready to ramp up canning and
about all I got were occasional snacks. So far things are looking
good, though not as far along as I'd like.
