First Year Trials and Tribulations and Veggies Taste Bitter

15 years ago

Okay... so my pride (mostly) has prevented me from posting a lot about my first year struggles with gardening. My husband thinks I'm crazy for not asking every little question that pops into my head, but I'm just so confident I will figure it out on my own... eventually! I'm sure you married people can sympathize with the way these conversations go!

Anyway... it's kind of been one thing after another with my garden struggles. I know from reading a lot of posts and blogs that most people in their first year have these same experiences - with things being a trial and error. Unfortunately, I don't feel like I've figured out very much in the way of what went wrong. So, alas, I will ask for help. Undoubtedly you will all have great ideas and it will lead me to solve a few problems in my own backyard and then my husband will get to say "I told you so." Heheheehe...

My list of not-so-successful experiences in the last 6 months:

Pole beans never grew (Kentucky Wonder). I planted two plantings and the same happened with each - leaves were small and a little wrinkled, yellowed first and then turned brown and dry. I started to think the seeds were bad (they got a little wet in the package before I planted them).

Tomatoes in the SFG failed miserably - any new growth was so incredibly tightly curled up and yellowish. The color improved somewhat when I started adding fertilizer... and I sprayed thinking they were affected by mites, but that did not seem to help. After 2+ months, they'd hardly grown at all from transplant size. Is it possible the soil was contaminated and that's why spraying didn't solve the problem?

Later in the summer, the caterpillars and white flies took over. The caterpillars were tricky, but I think I figured out that spraying with Neem once week keeps them at bay. The white flies were minimal for a while, but seem to have quadrupled in population the last month. I think the Neem helps with them as well. I only lost one entire plant to SVB, but something incredibly mysterious is planting eggs inside the buds of my pumpkin plant. Puncture site is very evident, maybe an 1/8 in in diameter. Sometimes the bud just turns brown and falls off, sometimes the whole area around the bud (about 6") gets a little wilted and then I clip it off - is that SVB too? The wilted thing happens on the pumpkin and the cucumbers, but I can only see the puncture marks on the pumpkin, as their buds are much larger.

My cucumbers managed to survive all the caterpillar attacks and finally started growing some fruit - it was incredibly exciting! I managed to harvest the first cucumber without incident. All the ones that came after that have pucture marks on them and the tell tale signs of something tunneling it's way through my cukes! Every single one has had several of these holes in them. I can't for the life of me figure out how to protect them from whatever that is!

And... to add insult to injury the one and only cucumber I harvested tasted terrible. Absolutely horrible. Both my daughter and I had to spit it out. It was so bitter - like gasoline. The texture was right - crunchy, watery. It was about 6 or 7 inches long, still had a little "nipple" (sorry, but I know that's what they call that shape on a tomato, so I thought it might work in this case). My husband thought it maybe wasn't done growing. I don't know if I left it on the vine too long, or if it's the soil, or if it's just the dang hot and humid weather. But I have to tell you, it was the first time I felt truly discouraged in my SFG adventure - the few things I bring inside should at least taste delicious!!!

Lastly, just in the last three weeks or so my three pepper plants have really gone down hill - leaves turning brown and curling under - they look wilted, even when it's cloudy outside and it's rained all day. I found a tomato hornworm on one of them, but I haven't seen anything else. Sprayed them with Neem - is that what damaged them?

Gosh darn this gardening thing is hard! But I am determined and welcome any and all ideas you guys have. I am willing to give anything a shot to improve things.

I should probably tell you, I used Mel's mix but was lacking good, homemade compost. I got a few different kinds from Lowes/HD - Black Cow and the Whole Earth (I think it's called something like that). In July I added some really nice mushroom compost I got from an exotic fruit nursery. There was 6" of soil when I started... it had seemed to compact a little bit, which is part of why I spread the mushroom compost over the top - added a few inches. It has a good amount of mulch. I check the moisture of the soil every few days when it hasn't rained. My husband thinks I should water a little bit every day, but I don't if the soil is damp (which it often is - Mel's mix is great for that). The plants get full sun most of the day, which is a little brutal for summertime in FL, but the seeds I sowed directly seemed to tolerate it without much (visible) incident. I'm sure I'm forgetting some info.

Thanks for your thoughts!

Oh, wow. Not sure I can be of much help, but first of all it sounds like you might have a nitrogen deficiency. Shhh..don't tell the organic gardeners, but I always add a slow release (coated) fertilizer, like a 10-10-10 or 12-12-12, to my soil and work it in pretty well before I plant. This feeds everything for 4-6 months, so I only have to do it once in the spring. Osmocote is one good brand, but I get a less expensive one at Wal*Mart that works well for me. A soil test would help you find what might be missing...I've never had one in 40 years of gardening, though.

Don't overwater and don't underwater. That's easy, huh? Give it a good soaking and then wait until the top couple of inches are dry before you water again (exception, keep newly seeded areas moist until plants are established). You want the root system to be large and healthy and grow down, not at the surface, so water long and deep rather than frequent shallow watering.

I've found a few of my leaves have shown some browning and crinkling at the edges, especially the beans. I think it was from the really hot, drying winds we had this year, as the plants seem extremely healthy otherwise. I think your tomatoes are diseased, however. That might be beyond your control (I have the same problem in my garden unless I grow resistant varieties). When you buy your tomatoes, make sure they are resistant varieties. Some varieties have been bred or hybridized to be resistant to certain pests and diseases. I grow "Celebrity", as they have proved to be a variety I can depend on here. As much as I would love to grow heirlooms, they succumb to diseases for me. I sometimes think I get a lot of it from our irrigation water.

If you are a smoker, wash your hands thoroughly BEFORE going near your plants. Tobacco virus can be spread by smokers.

Cucumbers. Hmmm...bitterness happens, I don't know why. They need a lot of water and are probably stressed by temperature extremes. I have mine in pots this year, planted near a fence that shades them in the afternoon and protects them from the hot wind. They have done very well this year.

I haven't had any bug problems (other than some cutworm damage), so haven't used any sprays. I'm not into using a lot of bug killers, just hand pick and look for eggs to destroy. I think the bugs pretty much aim for sickly plants, so strive for healthy plants. For egetables that don't require bees/insects to pollenize, I'd use floating row covers to keep away those pesky leaf miners and cabbage loopers.

If you are planting seeds in hot weather (like beans) plant them a bit deeper than the package says. I planted my late beans a full 2" under the soil when it was 100F outside, and they grew beautifully. Tiny seeds might need to be sprinkled lightly with water and covered with a board until they emerge (check daily for moisture, and remove the board just as soon as you see green!)

When it gets terribly hot, I provide a bit of shade for veggies that can't tolerate it. I put a 4x4 sheet of white lattice over my greens, just put a big bucket at each corner of the bed, placed two boards over them to span the area and placed the lattice over that. It provided filtered shade, and the white surface deflected the heat.

That's about all I have :-) Next year will be better!

well I started building my boxes after removing the rest of my roses. The weather here is warm and humid so taking it slow. I think I will be able to place (6) 4x4 beds along with a 2x24 bed along the fence that can be used for the vining veggies. The boxes are from 2x6 pine but are painted and stenciled(wife's job). I will upload the finished project hopefully by the weekend. Thanks for all your help

You have a great-looking backyard! Sunny and inviting. Very nice frames you made. The more sun, the better (for tomatoes) but many greens, such as kales, lettuces, ect., do well in partly sunny spots. If I was in your shoes, I'd build additional frames in the sunniest areas. Plus a compost receptacle (in the shade), like one of chicken wire rolled into a cylinder and fastened to a t-stake pounded into the ground. Cover w/a tarp, otherwise rain gets it too wet. When the pile needs turning, lift the cylinder up out of the way while you turn the stuff. When done, wrap the cylinder around the turned pile again. If wildlife gets into the pile, garbage cans with holes drilled through bottom and sides, with a tight-fitting lid, are great. My three cans heat up to between 100 and 130 degrees F. Also, those fences in your yard are just calling out to be covered in vines, such as pole beans, lima beans, southern peas, and climbing cucumbers, melons, (and squash?). The vines would need support, like vertical strings, or something like Johnny's Trellinet/Hortinova with large openings so your hands can fit through the openings when tending and harvesting. That's what I use, and it's easy to install directly on the fence and is strong. If you haven't already visited these forums, they'd be worth your time.

First year failure stories please!
Q
Comments (22)
My first year of gardening was in my mid teens (I was given a fairly sheltered life and still prefer it). I had made two 2Âx4Â raised beds 12" high, filled them with topsoil harvested from an out of the way location (on the property) and a few bags of store-bought manure. My parentÂs place happened to be where a full grown bodybuilder would be lucky to get the tip of a shovel 3" into undisturbed ground , so the filling of the beds was an ordeal. I planted each of the beds with 3 rows of red bush beans (I donÂt know why anymore, I was just a kid). I watered and waited, watered again the next day, and again the next. Then at one strange moment the next day I looked upon my creation and just happened to notice the five 18" tall tomato plants growing in each of the beds! You might think that at this point I was very excited about having plants in the garden, or that one of my parents was being nice, making sure that their child had a successful first garden - I tell you now that this was NOT the case! First, I was 15ish - not 5ish! - I knew there were differences between plants and had a bit of a grasp on the concept of time. There is no second point, but what I tell you now is that I had awoken a sleeping gardener who had coveted my land and claimed it as her own (sure she is my Ma and technically maybe it could have possibly been her own, but anyway). I listened to her excuses and cleverly concealed my rage eventually salvaging a bit of a "crop" from my remaining shaded/stunted red beans. Long story short - The next year I grew a 98 lb. pumpkin(who knows why? I was just a kid) - I was aiming for a 100+ but oh well ( IÂm still waiting for the "Pacific Giant" pumpkin) Oh, and I also had probably about 10 Roma tomato plants... :) Many years have passed... I have a garden at my own place now but continue to garden with Ma in the same spot (that has expanded quite a bit). It has been rewarding beyond words (even though the scars from that first year have left me a bitter, bitter husk of a person.) Pep talk time: Get back out there and garden! The fall crops of many vegetables are said to be better than the spring crop - especially root crops. The link below seems to be a good one for your state - it is from an interesting college called Purdue (where it seems that they are famous for making train parts in addition to gardening calendars). Check out Table 2. Too bad that you donÂt have a piece of ground that you could garden regularly for a while - IMO the ground improves quite a bit during the first few years. Maybe you could make raised beds and take the soil with you ? - I read somewhere that this was a French tradition. Best of luck to you!

Trials and Tribulations of an inherited pond [long]
Q
Comments (12)
Heh, yea I know better than to put koi in this pond. Besides I've got enough fish as is right now (just verified that the two fry that managed to get into the lotus bog are still alive - one that is over an inch long and turning white, and the other is about 3/4" long - so that puts the known count at 53). Course, in the "can't leave anything alone" frame of mind, I had stopped by a local store that was advertising pond equipment on sale. Well, found out they had a nice selection of plants on closeout (Calla lilies, Cannas, and rushes mainly. Most growing extremely well, but some partially or fully dead), so picked up an actively growing Taro and more water celery. So now I've modified the left side of the stream and put the plants there since it's the most shaded area. Also found a slight leak in the process so took care of that while I was at it. I would love to get the grasses away from the skimmer box, but that'll have to wait until next spring - the tall one with the white-ish bands is Miscanthus Strictus aka Porcupine Grass and it is extremely sharp. Let's just say that knife-like grasses next to something that needs to be checked often is not a good idea (planning on planting it along the back for some natural predator defense). I also noticed that my stream is full of these little black worms, which look awfully similar to black fly larvae pics I've found online, so oughta find a way to keep them in check (I've been knocking them off the rocks to fall into the pond as a natural fish treat). Yea the house is coming along. Fortunately it's in extremely good condition and not a lot of repairs need to be done, just upkeep and smallish stuff. I have started some demo work in the kitchen so that I can replace the mid-sized fridge with a full-sized one, but that's the biggest upgrade/fix (aside from a new shed), and I was planning on doing this when I bought it.

Good for you! It sounds like you're heading down the road to a long life of gardening :0) I do have a question for you, are you keeping a journal of your successes and what didn't do so wells? I've done this for my veggie garden and it sure helps you years down the road when you try to remember what variety of seed worked well for you and what didn't. I've found this especially helpful for tomatoes, because IMO their success depends on the type of soil you have. In my heavy clay 'Celebrity' does wonders for me, yet my mother and MIL say they don't do as well for them and have better luck with other varieties. Anyway, it's all trial and error and I'm glad your neighbor thinks you're a garden guru.......and in a couple more seasons, you will be ;0) Congrats, Laurie

Sarah - I feel for you, and will give you my input - for what it's worth.
The bitter cucumbers is caused mainly by watering issues. This is my first year with this method, as well as new garden, and I mainly watched what the plants were doing, to tell me when watering was needed. I know Florida is consistently warmer than Northwest Alabama, but nonetheless - I still have some of the same heat issues that you are dealing with. I would think that watering every 1 to 2 days would be required for your conditions. I was watering every 3 days until July, but then had to water more frequently, going with every 2 days.

More than likely, the holes that are being drilled into your cucumbers is from the pickle worm, or possibly even the melon worm.

The Black Kow, and other composts that you bought at the big box stores is fine - don't let anyone tell you any different. That's what I used, because my current homemade batch wasn't ready in time.

As far as pests go - I spent hours each day, inspecting my plants - especially on the underside of leaves. That's where 90% of your bugs are located. As I would find a new bug that wasn't familiar to me, I would take it's picture, and research it to find out if it was beneficial or not. My first job each day when I got home from work was to destroy all bad bugs in the garden. To me, chemicals just aren't the answer - but I understand if someone's spare time is limited, as well as physical limitations.

Tomato Hornworms - I know alot about these little devils! I must have killed 50 worms, and also crushed 75 -100 eggs that were deposited on my plants. I was anticipating their arrival, and once they were there - I took it to them with a vengeance.

Every plant has it's special needs, and also harmful bug to deal with. Once you learn what to watch for, it'll be a snap! Hang in there, it'll be better next year.

I agree with the heat being brutal where you are and that it could have easily affected your growing plants. Have you considered a fall planting being that it would be much easier, not just because of less pests, but because more plants might thrive in the cooler temps?

I would start seeds indoors, perhaps using the baggie / paper towel method. It helped my germination considerably to at least presoak my seeds overnight in warm water.

That's all I have as I am also very new to gardening, but hopefully it was at least a little helpful to you.

Thanks for the encouraging words guys... I really appreciate it.
Granny - I think you are probably right that something is off in my nutrients and causing some problems. I don't smoke, so that's not an issue. My tomatoes actually WERE hybrid, disease resistant types, so I don't know what's up with that. I did some research, though, with ordering for my fall planting and hopefully found some tomatoes that will do well here in the south. *fingers crossed* I also think there might be something to having plants in part shade here - at least from the afternoon sun. It is just brutal here. For example, right now, at 7 pm, it's still 93 degrees, and with the heat index, it feels like 102!!!

EG- I've had pretty good success with hand picking caterpillars and what not. I have only seen 3 or 4 tomato hornworms, the rest are something else... I thought I would try leaving them be, but they decimated the plants - ate them almost to death. When they settled in, I can pick 30 off the plants one night and not get them all. It is difficult to keep up with... but I do enjoy it. I like being out there and knowing what's going on, so in that respect it doesn't feel like a huge chore. I should note, I have never been able to figure out what the eggs of these caterpillars look like. And the white flies - can't hand pick those. I'm sure I'm going to have to try some row covers when I start my greens later this fall. It sounds like a good defense is the best offense :)
Angela - I am all about the fall planting! The trial and error will continue as I discover how many of my problems were due primary to the weather. I hope for good news as the temps cool down.

Thanks again, guys :)

sarahs_eden, even the old pros have failures. There is so much that is completely out of our control, that all we can do is learn what grows best in our area, try to keep one step ahead of insect infestations and plant diseases, and try, try, try and try again. Some years it all clicks, some years it's a bust, but each year we learn something and grow a bit in our gardening skills. It's all good.

Thanks for the pictures, EG! I have seen a few eggs that look like the tomato hornworm eggs, but none that look like the black eggs - nothing as obvious as a neat little arrangement of black dots on the undersides of leaves. I have seen some piles of orange gel looking stuff on the tops of leaves. I will take a picture the next time I see it - maybe those are the eggs of whatever kind of caterpillars eat the heck out of my pumpkin and cukes.
I think I could handle a battle with all the pests in the world - but for the few things I've harvested to taste so bad is really the big disappointment!

Yes Sarah, I'm with everyone else here, I'd be so ticked if I did as much work as you have and the veggies weren't awesome!!
I'm really new with the gardening thing, but I tend to agree with EG. I read somewhere that if your tomatoes curl up, it's most likely a watering issue. If they curl down, it's disease. Did you know that you aren't supposed to get tomato leaves wet? I know that I didn't know that when I started. Apparently the goal is to water the soil only and not touch the leaves at all. That way you don't give bacterial/fungal things a chance to grow. Are you mulching? I think I can see that if your tomatoes were weakened by over or under watering and then you sprayed, they may have been weakened further. I don't use chemicals, either, but I am not opposed to them. I'd advise you to call your extension and ask about varieties for your area, like granny recommends. They could also tell you where to get your soil tested. It's pretty cheap and that will eliminate at least one potential cause. Most importantly, though, hang in there! Your fall crop may be spectacular because of your area. You have alot longer to grow than I do, so you could probably bring in tomatoes right through to November.

LOL... Yeah... I hand picked caterpillars for a while and put them in a container with soapy water... now mostly I just smash them. I should try to find something more creative, just for the fun of it!
I'm really hoping that a lot of my problems were related to the heat and humidity. I think I might try a soil test just to make sure - has anyone tried the kits you buy in the store? Are they fairly accurate?
Carolyn - Honestly, I'm hoping to grow tomatoes all winter long! I don't think it froze here one time last year (which makes the bugs bad, but nice for growing hopefully!) Florida has to be good for something, right? Hehehehe... I say that especially during hurricane season!

This was a good thread for me. I tend to get discouraged and give up before I even start, but getting to know you guys and reading about the varying experiences has been very encouraging. So Sarah, thank you for posting your trials and tribulations! You're not just getting help, you're actually providing it. :)

About squishing bugs...I'll probably just go the soapy water route. Guts freak me out. Even my most loathed nemesis, the Japanese Beetle (a.k.a. little f**kers and I try not to use that word much!) I can't bear to squish. By the way, does anyone know if Japanese Beetles affect food crops at all? They just LOVE LOVE LOVE my flowers, especially roses. But I just wait them out because they have a relatively short season here and the flowers rebound. Anyhoo.

Laura - the japanese beetles will attack some vegetable leaves. Particularly in my garden, they seemed to like okra leaves and turnip greens. Here's a photo of the damage they did to my turnip greens back in July. Next year, I will wait until they have went back into the ground before planting these.

About the most carried away I get is when I pick up the tomato hornworms with my scissors, and snip them in half as I drop them in a bucket of water. Or the glee I feel when I salt a slug and watch him melt away. I'm cruel, I tell ya. I haven't seen a hornworm or a slug at all this year, though. Lots of ants and earwigs.

EG - Yeah, that's pretty familiar-looking damage!

General question: in his book, Mel hinted that tomato hornworms emit a foul odor...or was he kidding? Y'all talk about squishing or chopping them...they don't leave any "parting shots?" And what about stinkbugs...true to their name? I don't want to sound prissy but it's not too terribly hard to nauseate me. I wonder if vomit is a good garden additive? I guess only if I've been eating vegetarian. (Ok, so I'm both prissy and crass. Go figure.)

i had trouble in washington state with the CERTIFIED ORGANIC COMPOST i was using...seems most commercial composters use municipal as well as public sources for their compost ingredients.
all it takes is a few contaminated yard clippings that have been sprayed with ROUNDUP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yep ROUNDUP that poison pushed by Costco even...thousands of gardens wiped out!-it takes up to 4 years for it to COOK out of your soil even after that you might experience problems-MAKE YOUR OWN COMPOST and boycott MONSANTO! ALL THEIR PRODUCTS! for they are poisoning the world.
there are tests you can do -home control plots etc etc-but you need to start with pure virgin soil...good luck
