Potatoes and cabbages are doing well. Kale is out of control.
Beans are stunted. Two bush types. I got 5 pods total from seven plants. Broccoli is growing weirdly. Spinach and peas were all eaten by something. Tomatoes are growing tall. |

It could be blossom end rot, caused by a lack of calcium. Or it could be poor pollination. Make sure the plants are watered evenly. I add a few spoons of powdered oyster shell while planting tomatoes, squash, peppers and eggplant but garden lime can also be used. |

They are not fertiliser. Use a cotton swab or paintbrush to transfer pollen from the male flower (skinny) to the female flower (has mini zucchini) when the flowers are open. |

| First time growing eggplant for me. The plants are flowering but not setting fruit. I don't think it's a lack of pollinators because the peppers and tomatoes in the same bed are fruiting well. Any ideas? |

I get blossom end rot on my container tomatoes when there is heavy rain even when I do my best with preparing the soil - there is a spray you can buy that prevents it. |

Can you be even more specific or provide a link to a video? Thank you! |
