Hey Sojay, Do you use craigslist? I'd put up a barter ad and find someone who does can. Maybe someone is near you that can't garden anymore but still has their canner and jars and would be willing to help can for half the results. If you're thinking of canning at some point, helping someone else can is a great way to see if you like it. We put up lots of tomatoes in half gallon jars for chili in the winter.

I may be wrong, but I think the answer is yes. Although not really a yes or no question, I love it!! The second part of bpgreen's answer is a bit more on point and perfectly correct - you can add it at any time. We have actually done testings of planting tomatoes directly in a bag of Bumper Crop and a similar product called Harvest Supreme and the results were quite spectacular. It is entirely organic with a good nutrient blend and if you so desired, you could fill your entire raised bed with it. Go for it!

Nice looking grapes! That brown ring on the bottom could be residue from your spray mix??

I think the mossy nest does belong to a chickadee, and it is a beautiful nest. I have several different styles of boxes. I have several that I made over the last 3 years. I have 2 that I bought from Walmart that have plexiglass to view the nest. Don't waste your money on these. They are to small. I removed the plexiglass last year. The bluebirds did take to them this year for the first time. I have two houses that my Mother-in-law put up about 25 years ago that have the words "Baily N.C." on them. They are still in good shape. Seem almost indestructable. Something always builds in them. I have several houses by Stokes built to NABS standards. They are one of my favorites. I also have a Gilwood house. It is one of my favorites also. I put it up on a Saturday, went back the next day to check it and a pair of bluebirds had already claimed it and started a nest. The blues really like it. I am very lucky and don't have a big problem with HOSP. I do have a deluxe repeating trap, and a Van Ert in box trap that I use. I have a much bigger problem with starlings getting into my purple martin housing. As a side note, I live in Tennessee. We had a lot of tornadoes go through here today. A tornado went over the hospital were I work, but did not touch down. All we had was hail damage. But the town just a few miles north of us (Murfreesboro) got slammed. Lots of damage, lot of homes destroyed, and some deaths. Those folks need your prayers. More expected through here Sunday night.
