Any ideas? I am thinking improper nutrients in the soil, or soil too acidic
or something like that. Any info appreciated. CHEERS!

Do you mulch any of your plants? We have real hard clay soil here in Arkansas, besides the summers are real hot and dry. I put newspaper around my plants and put mulch on top. My plants just love the newspaper. They start growing strong just after putting it down. I don't know why though. I just know it works. Last year when everyone elses tomatoes died from the heat mine just kept producing and growing.
