inhaling the rich odors of the soil, tomatoes and onions with deep yogic breath, a pure peace washes my soul, refreshes. It is why I grow.

(93,444 posts)Our gardens aren't doing so well this year, it's too hot for a lot of things though some vegetables are okay with it.
Mine is in shade right after the heat gets ripping but things are still dwarfing.

(30,787 posts)Over the past two years I have tilled in three huge loads of goat manure and one load of cow manure. Our tomato plants are seven feet high. My wife has been cutting the tops because of how tall they are. She even found a bird nest in one tomato plant. Bird must have thought it was a tree. I have a Brethren (Amish like) that brings it to me. Guy has 12 kids, so I pay him money for it. He just brought me another load and I will till it into the garden this fall. Amazing the difference in my garden from years past. Goat manure is really beneficial for the soil. Here is a picture of the load he just brought me.
