Looks awesome , I like the bent panel for the cucumbers. I feed my plants yesterday as Derek suggested, just waiting where did you get those panels from? I have tried Lowes, and to local nursery's Try Tractor Supply .

I have tried Lowes, and to local nursery's Try Tractor Supply . They will have them. I used a 16' cattle panel and bent it in half. They do have 4'x 8' panels that would work perfectly.

Another question , my tamato plants are tall and dark green , they look really healthy. I still do not show any signs of a tamato .
I get flower blooms and they come and go. When I water I water the whole plant meaning the ground and the whole plant. Is this harming the process?

Wet leaves are a perfect environment for plant pathogens . You could also possibly be washing the pollen away from the blooms . 'Maters form after the bloom so it could be just a case of them being too small for you to see them .

Unless you're doing a foliar application of fertilizer/pesticide/fungicide, etc.. keep the leaves as dry as possible.

Ok, so if I stop now will the tomatoes form or have I messed them up? It will significantly lower your chances of fungal diseases which will help a ton. Personally I would put on a foliar app of milk, potassium bicarbonate, actinovate, or a combo of them as a preventative/"cure". I know most of y'all think I'm crazy to start with and this will solidify that. Get a cheap eclectic toothbrush. Hit just behind the flower with it or the cluster and your fruit set will be 10 fold better. Thank me later.

Give them time your OK. Shake your plants to get the pollen moving around .

Does anyone on here keep bees? I am thinking about starting a hive this fall. Earlier this spring my holly bushes were so covered in bees that I was weary about driving the lawnmower too close. Now my three 6'x4' honeysuckles are in full bloom and not a single bee.I strategically planted my garden in between the honeysuckles and a large rose bush to be a stopping point for pollinators. Fortunately I cant leave things alone, so I have been shaking my blooming plants and they are producing but I would like mother nature to do it for me.
A five spot for a shot and a beer? And you wonder how we wound up here.

I've been a beekeeper about the last 10yrs or so. I haven't seen them work on honeysuckle very hard. The nectar is too deep in the flower and they can reach it for the most part. They can get a little pollen from them. They also don't work most rose verities since most don't produce nectar or pollen.
You could replace your honeysuckle with a trumpet vine. Honeybees and bumble bees will hammer down on that.

Or a Vitex (Chaste tree). Bees love them.
