I think I am heading for a crop failure - tomatoes look bad -- 8 to 10 inches tall -- yellow on some leaves -- wont grow -- neighbors are 4 feet tall with fruit -- I have not used any chemicals on the garden -- the nearest roundup was 20 ft. away with the wind in my favor-- beans wont grow but the peas will -- carrots never did come up -- potatoes,beets.and onions look good -- I usually have the best of everything so I am really bummed -- any ideas?
 
Too much rain not enough sun on ours. Tomatoes will be ok surprised no zucchini yet and only one green pepper. Potatoes are good and onions plentiful. Too many times the garden has been a pond
 
Me too. I have the worst garden I've ever had, never flooded out like this before. Been doing this most my 71 years.
 
Where did you get the tomatoes? A commercial fertilize everyday place, a home (I have to many) grower, or anything in between. The problems and triumphs come with weather, and how much people tend to them.It happens, you have a bad year. You also have time let it work. Who knows you might end up with more then your neighbor.

We just planted a few rows of peas, beans beets...(a lot of other things)... Got some transplants in last week. I'm from Wisconsin the chance anything (regardless of planting time) is a slim chance anything will produce anything, yet we try. Some years we plant as late as late July/August and still get something. On the other hand; plant first week of June, don't get anything(nice plants but no produce by end of season). I don't believe in chemicals either, just put it in and hope for the best.
 
Where I am I have the opposite problem. My tomato's are 8 foot tall or more if I had a cage that tall. Beans I have to pick every day unless it rains and getting a gal a day. My peppers are not doing real well. Had the tomato's spaces 3 foot apart but as thick as they are there is no spacing there now
 
old Yup,Weather has been good for the garden but rough on hay. Had a three day window a week and a half ago... cut, tedded, raked and baled in those three days.
 
Some of our plants turned yellow & our neighbors garden looks good. Sent a sample of soil to penn state extension. I put leaves on our garden so probably need some lime to sweeten soil (havent got results back yet).
 
Mine are in cages made from heavy reinforcement wire that are 5-feet tall and some plants are above the top of the cages and are loaded with green tomatoes. We've had 15.5" of rain so far and calling for storms today. Check with
your county extension agent about your tomatoes. Your ground may need something. Hal
 
Sounds like you have a bacterial wilt of some kind started. I assume your in a wet area? I would suggest you pull and burn the tomato plants immediately and start spraying the potatoes with a good fungicide and do it NOW before the taters start showing the same signs. Ran into the same thing last year in my garden. 'Maters were a complete loss and about half a crop on the taters. You must start spraying for wilt BEFORE the plants show signs of infection or you are wasting your time. Good luck.
 
Ya I have had 2 times I got some hay done and both times my sickle mower broke down on me. So I fixed the mower and also hooked up my back up machine so if one goes down maybe the other will finish the job
