Sorry I just saw these! I have the thread set to 'Watch', but never got an email notification. Maybe it went to spam?
So much for dirt directly on the deck then. I bought the plants as usual, they were 6" or so high. Before we had a ton of rain in July I'd water at least every other day. The soil isn't that great, maybe that's why not such a good yield. I also added in ashes from the wood stove thinking that may help. I put them in the ground in mid May.
It does get hot where I am, so ideally next year I'll have them in the garden. I may move the garden to a different spot where there's more sun.
