The garden turned out pretty good this season. Cindy Conner's garden plan served me well. Most everything was coordinated well enough that the beds were full and abundant at the same time. Only problem was the containers, I should've lined them with plastic. The terra cotta is constantly wicking moisture out of the soil and even after adding extra water, the leaves were still looking chloritic. Fearful of loosing the tomatoes, I added some synthetic fertilizer to the containers. On the upside, the container plants are now dark green, sturdy and beautiful. On the downside, they will not be permitted to compete in the next Olympic Games. All the other beds remain chemical free and no sprays are used, so that's good.
