So I'm declaring my Veggie Garden a Fail for this year, The only thing I have harvested from the garden is some super tiny cherry tomatos, everything else has either died or failed to produce, and everything is stunted in it's growth. those sunflowers? they are supposed to be 10 feet tall. The corn is only a foot tall, and the artichocke only has the same 3 leaves on it as it had when I bought it. Clearly the cheap soil I bought did not have the nutrients I needed for a lush veggie garden. and the fertilizer I used was not cutting it.

sad! i thought you were in prime growing area too. what will you do differently next year?
I'm going to double-dig the garden as soon as it starts raining, and test the soil. then amend with a super-rich soil mix (there is one on sale at my local nursery this week). I'll probably go ahead and plant some winter cover crops as well (Fava Beans, hairy vetch). Hopefully all that will work.
