[QUOTE="DaveB, post: 5025563, member: 5958"] Everyone will have some good ideas...getting the soil to match the intended crop should be up at the top of your list. Next, if you can, start seedlings indoors come late February (that should get some better info as locale dictates start) Your dirt should be fertile before you plant. I am a big believer in fertilizing very heavy last September/October and MG or a generic water soluble ten days after planting and repeat until you see blooms forming. I do not like containers but some on here are Wizards with them. There are lots of fantastic ideas on here for tomato staking....and beans....peppers like you never seen.... Climate varies but pumpkins need to be sprouted by July 4th. Watermelons way earlier....I favor Charleston Grays for taste if you have the room. Hand pollinate if you can. I like determinate tomato plants. Growth is more manageable, you can plant alternate weeks and get fresh fruit almost to frost. And I think they taste better but you will get lots of opinions on that. [TABLE] [TR] [TD][/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/QUOTE]
