Merry something you can do when you can't get any more finished compost and don't want to use harsh fertz is use 3 or 4 times the strength of molasses you would spray on leaf as a foliar and spray it on the ground and you'll get a bunch of microbes on a sugar high making more nutes available.If your nursery has 20 or 25 lb. bags of Azomite ground rock.get that.
my other favorite since i can't buy bulk castings anymore is Eggshells ground up in a coffee grinder,they should be sun dried first to complete dryness.

Intrinsic sorry for the snow,i had it snow in the middle of july before and it was kinda late to replace.You'll have some more out there in no time.

Hey Anu. Welcome to the veggie side here. I’ve pondered yer eggshell advice and sounds real good, thanks. I’m always looking to increase the calcium in my soil. Might short circuit there route to the compost bins and grind ‘em up directly for the ‘mater plants (calcium to prevent blossom end rot)

Were you talking about the snow pics from the fist page, that was last year. :smile: The almond tree in snow was this year and I just cannot get any more nut trees out this year. :mrgreen: Thanks fer the consideration tho.

To my eyes, it looks like an insect problem of some sort.
I don't know of any diseases that would "eat" holes in the leaves like that.

Checked very carefully for any little bugs, droppings, eggs etc?

Weather Forecast for next two weeks looks good. Will plant the tomatoes in a day or two, peppers next, the rest (knock on wood) by mid may.
