I learned a good lesson on raising tomatoes when 50 plants taller than myself all died during the rainy season before bearing fruit. It turns out the roots were drowning as the soil wasn't drying out between rains. Roots need oxygen.
Oh, that had to hurt. Fifty plants! Funnily enough, it's the tomatoes that are doing better than anything else this year, but they are in a raised bed with drainage. Were you able to figure out how to fix that problem?
Don't plant the garden in a low laying yard without raised beds! Lesson learned. You have to learn a little bit about each plant you want to grow.
Yeah, I'm using raised beds. Thanks.
