    Just discovered your videos and really enjoying them. Did you ever find out what the issue was with the tomatoes? Interested to hear what fertiliser you use and how often for them. Thanks!

    I notice my squash has black on the bottoms of the fruits ,,I guess to much rain I live in Abbotsford Bc canada and we’ve had it very wet and cool summer so far

    Hi Susan, so great to see your garden thriving! It sure seems to produce a LOT of food! Where did you find the tulle that you have over the hoops?

    Susan- Thank you for the lovely garden tour. We are just at the beginning of creating raised beds on our woodland side yard. Zone 4-B and about 7-8 hrs of sun. Land is slightly sloped, so a bit of a challenge. Our mini green house has a door on the front and a window on the back. I decided to experiment this year and planted summer squash, zucchini, beans, lettuce and pak choy. The pak choy is very happy. The squash is getting so huge it is falling over!
    Hopefully we will have some harvest out of it , but it was constructed more for fall and spring.

    Try using tomato-tone organic fertilizer.
    I have 1early girl tomato that looks like your paste tomatoes.
    The rest are fine.
    The fertilizer is doing the trick.
    Zone 8b, Portland.

    We found some tokyo squash and watermelon buried in leaves. XD Canelope four so far coming in. We think the tomatoes will drown us as are the zucchini and cucumbers. Hubby says he is totally fine with that. XD

    Thank you for showing your problems along with your successes. It helps us learn along with you. Does your husband's different varities of pepper plants ever cross pollinate, or don't peppers do that?

    Susan, your garden is looking good compared to mine over here on the west side of the cascades. I've had trouble with summer squash and green beans this year. Go figure! Rain rain go away! Growing tomatoes outside has never done well for me over here in the Convergence zone but they are thriving in my new high tunnel this year and peppers looking good too. But boy oh boy am I jealous of Bill's peppers. We must know his secrets! Love your videos!
