Some updates:
My tomatoes aren't dead yet...they're really trying to die though. I'm contemplating just buying 3 more, but who knows - I might kill those too.
The corns, beans, cucumbers, squash, and peas are all growing really well. The peas & potatoes seem to be the woodlice' favorite treat to snack on...little devils. I went outside at like 10:15 Saturday night, and the potato plants were COVERED in woodlice. I grabbed most of them off of there, and many had already fallen to their death in the yeast-water. Hopefully they'll quit coming around. If not, I'll buy some dichotomous earth.
Anyone know what strawberries should look like after about 8 days? I still see nothing.

Kind of green at the top, but brittle leaves. Several yellow/dead leaves at the base of the plant. And it hasn't grown any since being transplanted, about 12 days ago. Overall, the plant seems fairly dry, unlike when I bought it.

How often do you water it? It could be that it's getting too much water or not enough...It could also be doodle bugs getting to it...Those suckers are EVIL...

Evil is right. They ate one of my cowpea's stems - on the inside of the stem! Crazy...it was like a hollow straw with a couple roots.
I water every couple days...If I had to guess the amount, I'd say somewhere about 10-12 oz. of water. I recycled a lot of old glass bottles we used, and fill them up with rainwater, and about 1/2 a bottle on each plant. The soil seems to stay moist for about a day and a half, hence the "every other day" watering.

 Go out about 10 to 20 minutes after you've watered and look for doodle bugs...They like to pop up after the ground has been watered...If you see a bunch of them, that's going to be the problem. How big are the plants? If they are 3 inches tall, that's too much water...6 - 12 inches, good amount of water...Taller than that, you need to get them a bit more of the liquid life...

Nice thread. I usually hang out at the THF and just stumbled on this thread.
I wonder if I am too late? I've had corn, peas and onions in the ground since 3/19. I also had tomatoes out on 3/13 (almost lost them to frost.
I just put out squash, jalapeno's and banana peppers yesterday. Wonder if I am too late? I still have carrots, cucumbers and okra seeds to plant.
I am also wanting to put out more corn seed as we eat a ton of corn, but wanted my harvest spread out a little. Wonder if I'm too late for that???

No you're not too late...With Perrin being further north, now is a great time to get those things in the ground...Remember on the Okra seeds to soak them in water for 24 hours before planting them...
The only thing that might not produce as well would be the carrots, but I'd think you're still okay on those...

Thanks It helps them to sprout up sooner...I've done it both without soaking and with and soaking is faster...I put them in a bowl, cover them with some water, put a plate over it and then about 24 hours later, in the ground they go...

My garden is going in to late because the cool temps stayed around so long, but the main reason, was that it was so wet I couldn't plow/fertilize and get everything ready.
Just planted another row of corn. It's unreal how dry the ground is considering how much rain we had....

I've been there...I think it was 2004 that I planted the garden only to have it flood and then I had to replant the garden...  I didn't get my garden in until late last year, but I started preparing in December and January this year...I've had the onions in since 1/11 and they are doing great...

My tomato leaves are also turning brown on the bottom. I dug down in the soil well beside the plants and it is moist from 2 inches down. Also, I did see a doodle bug out there. So, what do I do? Oh, last time I watered was Thursday.
Other than that, everything else looks good except my basil never sprouted so I just replanted and my lettuces are stuck at half an inch and browning. I'm probably going to till those under and plant some okra and or more bell peppers
