Hi, guys!
I'm noticing that I have a lot of lovely, long healthy vines growing in my new raised beds. (First timer for raised beds!) And my tomatoes, squashes, etc. are all growing nice and long/tall. But they are not setting fruit well. The season is half gone and I haven't had a single edible fruit. (Bell peppers too, just one tiny baby, and one tiny baby tomato!) The fruit stays very small, and sometimes rots and drops off before getting any bigger than a pea. Some of the plants have had no fruit at all...most, in fact.
Am I missing a key nutrient in the soil?
