What are you NOT growing this year? - Page 3

post #41 of 43
Nothing from the squash family. We have a virus in the soil that causes them to die right after they start growing veggies. My dad has the same problem-- he sent soil off to the gov't people who look at that sort of thing and that's what they told him. I have never been able to grow squash since that year when the virus got into our soil.

I have good luck growing my corn spread out around the garden randomly and planting greens around the base of them. I hand pollinate them.

No potatoes this year, the couple of sources I really liked are charging way too much shipping. Plus, it's too many to plant in my small urban garden, so I end up giving half of them away. For that much money, we can buy really good potatoes at our local farmer's market.
