My husband recently built me raised beds for my vegetable and flower gardens. They are made of block with tar inside. They are 4 ft. wide and 2 1/2 feet tall. My summer garden this year was weird. Beautiful thick pole beans with no beans! Also bush beans with no beans and zucchini, one plant extremely bitter, the other very few zucchinis! They are on drip lines. Any ideas why so little harvest? Three varieties of tomatoes did great (except for splitting). Do you know where I can get my soil tested? And do you offer any classes on vegetable gardening? Thank you very much.
