    New here, fertilizer question

    That is awesome about the beginning of a road side stand. Best of luck to you....I do agree to not guess about the soil. The soil test is the best way to get the optimum vegetables out of all your hard work.

    MIA...I am back!

    I may have been missing but each of you are still in my heart and thoughts. We updated our entire 30 year old house over a year ago and it took a lot out of me, but we did it. We paid workers but still a big deal. Glad I am rested up and so ready to see things grow.

    Tomatoes

    My tomatoes are gone. I went to the Farmers Market and bought some and they were horrible. It will be a long time before getting vine ripe tomatoes again. Gives me something to wish for.
