If you have a veggie garden...

Have your crops been not so plentiful, or bad?

My parents have a large garden, last year the tomatoes were crazy.  But, this year 2 plants look bad.  The roma tomatoes have a wooden/petrified feeling and black spots on the bottom of the tomatoes.  

The only plants that did well this year were cucumbers and jalapenos. 

Re: If you have a veggie garden...

  • I don't have a garden, but my ILs have had problems this year with their plants not producing any food and then just randomly dying.  They had a huge green pepper plant that went from healthy to dead in a week, and it never looked infected or eaten by bugs unless something got the roots.

    A coworker of mine lives on a small farm and said almost her entire peach crop was full of worms.  We were all sad b/c she was planning to bring peaches to us at work.
  • Wow, it sounds like its been a bad summer for everyone.  Its funny you mention the plants dying for no reason, some of the other tomato plants look like they are half brown and dying except for the top parts.  I hope next summer is better!
  • I wonder if some of it has to do with heat ad it has been so hot

    We've had the opposite problem here...I know a lot of local farmers have had issues because we had so much rain and so little sun earlier in the summer.

    Crap!  That really sucks Brandi :(

    I was hoping to get free veggies this  year to can and freeze for the winter from my parents :(  I hope next year will be better.  I do have a basil plant and it looks awful too (on my windowsill).  Sucks.
