I remember seeing a film in grade school that showed the Native Americans using fish as fertilizer. Loving these photos. Had some fried okra tonight. The okra pods here in the West Bank are tiny, but they taste good. Average size of the pods was about 1.5 - 2 inches long.
If you’re lucky enough to be fishing, you’re lucky enough.
Tomatoes are staked with 2x2’s, you just can’t see them in the second photo.

This is how my garden is now. Cucumbers are climbing trellis at back. This year I did a lot of different peppers. The chard in the middle used to have broccoli and onions around it. It’s been going since early February.
These bananas went in in late April. Now that it is hot they are becoming well established. I think they will look great this time next year.
This is a cool shot from behind the trellis. I think I have about 20 or 30 extra square feet from growing at this angel out over the yard.

Some got to win, some got to lose…
The last thing out of the garden was two five gallon buckets of sweet potatoes. Would have been much better if not for deer and rabbits.
Have collards, kale, turnips, and smooth leaf mustard planted. If this rain doesn’t drown it!
Nice, Fred. How do you keep your horse out of the garden? Or do you just plant extra for the critters?

They are not usually there! Daughter strung some electric fences and I let them have what was left in the garden before I disc ed it.
I had a nice stand of Collards, kale, turnips and mustard… but I believe most of it has drowned.
I live here on the coast and something in the soil kills my tomato plants each year when they get about 3’ tall. Everything dies within 3 days. I am told it is a soil born pathogen.
But, on the otherhand, I can go catch fish about anyday.

sounds like you may have nematodes to me. they are not that hard to get rid of.google them and check out the products to use. i would think that you would want to start treating your soil now and through the early spring. also you may check for calcium deficient soil also. maybe do a soil test. hope that helps.

Check with your County Agricultural Extension Agent. He/she can tell you how to get a soil sample analyzed, and maybe even come by and take a look.
