$500 a plate spaghetti sauce
"General Schvantzkopf" wrote in message . .. I've had my worst harvest ever, the only thing that did well this year was my blueberry bushes and my cucumbers. Most of my tomato plants died, those that didn't have only produced enough tomatoes for a couple of quarts of sauce (thus the $500/plate estimate). I don't think the remaining tomatoes are going to ripen because the plants think it's fall (the leaves on my blueberry bushes have already turned color). My corn isn't maturing either, I've got small ears with missing kernels. The peas and beans all died in July. July was solid torrential rain, and August has been cold which is why the plants think it's fall. I'm in Massachusetts near Lowell and Nashua. Has anyone around here had better results than these? Don't feel too bad. I have a friend in Maine whose plants rotted out with all the rain. I don't think they harvested more than a basket full of veggies. We had an infestation of whitefly and 2-spotted spider mite the likes of which the ag agent has never seen before. One of the 3 gardens were wiped out. Every pepper and tomato plant was destroyed. The cukes and the cantaloupes and the winter squash were also attacked. No insecticide, either organic or chemical worked. We are getting tomatoes, beans, chard and other veggies from the other 2 gardens though. The collards are so infested with whitefly as to be inedible. |
