I suspect the dollar store dirt is the culprit since the light and the temperature are now under control. The soil is extremely dense. I just ordered peat moss and vermiculite from Amazon and it should be coming any day. I will fluff up the dirt and see if that helps. <br /><br />It is crazy that the herbs and greens fail and the vines are wildly growing. I think it's because the vines have strong deep roots and can penetrate the soil better. I have a tomato plant in a gallon milk jug and it's over five feet long. None of the tomatoes have bloomed though even though the melons responded to the light adjustment. I am going to cut off the suckers next and see that should help. The melons are blooming all male flowers but I read that is normal behavior for them and will make female flowers, too, later. My cucumbers did exactly that and I do think I have properly pollinated those and will have fruits maturing.Laura Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00097297825057132658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2475344179251683905.post-10653160037376085462011-10-05T16:22:37.484-07:002011-10-05T16:22:37.484-07:00Have you found that vine growing plants do well in...Have you found that vine growing plants do well in containers and space versus small bushy plants like herbs?artCainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15606773001271642960noreply@blogger.com
