Someone sent me a link to this thread a couple weeks ago and I'm now just getting around to reading it... so I realize this response is coming really late as you may have already taken steps to deal with the issue. As already noted earlier in the thread it would appear that Phosphorus is exceedingly high.... much higher than the others also graphed at "Very High".... however I believe the graphical representation can be very misleading here. Unless that graphic scale used is logarithmic, which I don't believe it is, then the bars have a max peak and once reached it stops regardless of any excess beyond that max graph limit (example: 100ppm and 300ppm would give the same graphical representation even though one is 3x the other)... this means if the bars were to continue to scale they would go off the end of the page and would show phosphorus by far higher than all the others... much higher. Its over 3X the limit where it will begin seriously binding up iron, zinc, and copper. I believe this is actually an odd case of Liebig's Law of Minimums. Which micronutrient is the minimum? hard to tell at this point since all three are being affected by the presence of that excessive phosphorus overload. How to tell which one or combination is the issue? Apply a foliar application of each (a different one each week) and note the plant growth response over the following week... an increase will point you to the micro that's at minimum in the soil. Chelated versions of these minerals could also be applied to the soil but foliar will show a quicker response. You can even use sulfates of these minerals in foliar applications if they are easier for you to obtain (they will certainly be a lot cheaper than chelated versions)... alternatively if you're not interested in tracking down the precise micronutrient minimums, you could just shot-gun it with a general liquid micronutrient foliar application. If that solves the problem then you'll either need to continue with micronutrient foliar applications every other week or so for the next several years or you'll have to dilute the soil in your beds to bring the phosphorus levels under control within a season. A suggestion would be to remove about half of the soil in the raised beds and spread that around your yard and trees or perhaps you could build more raised beds and add it there. Then fill the beds back up with more soil however one that's low on organic matter... and quit adding manure applications... and what compost you do add should be mostly browns and then use feather meal to beef up nitrogen as it will eventually be needed. You might also want to plant daikon radishes this winter to help suck up some phosphate. These are just some suggestions from a non-expert soil guy... whatever you choose to do, I hope you do solve the issue you are having and hopefully next year's crops will fare much better for you. Good luck there.

I never looked at Honky Tonk Barbie's background. That is interesting as I could never get Shores of Time to succeed for me. Once I was sent the wrong plant and it took me until next season to find that out. Once it died over winter, once it took two years to bloom and then developed rust so badly that I had to pitch it in full bloom, and this last (and I do mean last) time it died over winter again (in it's pot). By contrast HTB has been a dream, if it had only been a little more colorfast it would rank way up there (Selman's record on the colorfast issue can be spotty)......Has it been winter tender for you?.......Maryl

Most of us over the age of 65 have never had to worry about what we served when entertaining except for shellfish - perhaps a severe peanut allergy but I only know one man with this. He simply never eats anything prepared in anyone's home as he knows they probably have used peanuts or peanut butter in their mixing bowls/skillets. I usually just dealt with the shellfish by never serving it unless I absolutely knew my friends ate it. But when we were younger and had and went to lots of dinner parties, no one was on any "special diet" - no gluten-free (not sure anyone had even heard of gluten outside a home ec class!), no paleo, no Mediterranean, no vegans or vegetarian. When I was married 40 years ago, my matron of honor did not eat red meat at the rehearsal dinner, but she found plenty of other things on her plate and did not go hungry. I think she was the first person I knew who didn't eat red meat. If one has never learned to cook for such diets, it's pretty hard to learn, especially when entertaining. I never serve a recipe I have not prepared multiple times before. At my age, just preparing a meal for others is not easy and trying to figure out what is "allowed" is frankly just more than I am up to doing. I wonder how we all survived all those dinner parties in the past. Have people's bodies really changed that much? I don't remember anyone ever becoming ill and we all knew one another pretty wells.

Wow, just wow. I posted the above Art Gallery Expressionism in the browser I've been experimenting with, Slimjet. It is a high security browser with speed. I picked a random unshrunk picture, and when I went to post it, it gave me a message "do you want to shrink the picture to the optimum size for quick posting on Houzz?" I said yes, and it posted almost immediately, like the old days.
