re: 2024 Spring Garden Thread

And right after I post this, I get my most recent soil lab results back. High or very high in ever, excessive in one instance. The other two samples are similar (without the excessive).
The striking thing is the very high ph. My baseline test months ago had a very high ph. I added elemental sulphur, then various soils and amendments. Ph is still very high… nothing changed.
Based on these results, what should I do? Post right above this shows how everything is doing.
ETA: went to the local co-op. He said nothing but to add nitrogen. Ph is slightly high but not terrible. I’ve been side dressing with calcium nitrate. I guess all is well.

Getting a low flower to fruit ratio on my Cantaloupe. Watermelon and all other plants are fruiting just fine. However, I’m getting no flowers turning into fruit on my cantaloupe. It’s odd.. talking 40+ flowers and none of them fruiting.

That could explain some of your early chlorosis. Elemental sulfur takes a while to fully work, but you should’ve seen a change in a couple of months. At least a slight one.

That’s probably good advice. Your garden looks pretty good and as long as it’s growing and producing I wouldn’t mess with it.
