Hoping For The New Year

[montyb]

Last year was much better than 2023 which was a wash out But all the vegetables were stunted and slow. I managed to get some tomatoes and cucumbers but everything was so stunted. Tomatoes maxed out at maybe 2 1/2 feet. After almost 3 months lettuce was only an inch high. I used fertilizer and made sure things were watered but nothing seemed to grow. Others who have gardens said to me similar it was a bad year As we are up north in Canada we had not too much snow and a mild winter last year but this year we have had a rougher winter and much more snow what do you think, will a winter with more snow help for a better growing season?

Sorry to hear that you had a bad growing season Montyb.

We live in southern Ontario, and things grew well last season. However, I wanted to mention that a friend who lives in the area has had a bad time growing things, with stunted growth. She'd had a good year before she piled a load of maple leaves on her veggie garden for the winter. Things went downhill after that, and even adding manure didn't help. Perhaps it's something in the environment that is causing the problem....... If so, I hope you can get to the bottom of it.

Whatever it is, I don't think it has anything do with the Winter.
