Our potatoes all failed, regardless of light and water levels, which is perplexing. Maybe too hot? Or a disease or pest?
Yeah our carrots failed on that part also, probs due to weather, weird climate and probably most likely irregular watering/feeding other than that some of our tatsois grow well and the tomatoes
Yeah, my guess is that they didn't like the heatwaves. All of them turned yellow and croaked. Oddly, they did this at different times, and with different water and light levels. Even the ones in the shade that didn't get as much water died, which is really perplexing. In past years, we had an overabundance of potatoes in the same area. (We kept digging up potatoes for years after our initial bumper crop.)
Oh well. We'll try again next spring with a different variety and hope for better results. On the bright side, I've never had so many super chili peppers in my life. Someone liked the heatwaves!
