Gardening Methods

How do you get your vegetables/fruit to grow well with all this rain?

I have a garden in my backyard. I planted lettuce, carrots, watermelon, potatoes, onions, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, catnip, tomatoes, basil, cilantro, cucumbers and peppers. There all spaced right, and I’ve added organic fertilizer (peat) and I keep my garden plants up on stakes, still they aren’t growing like a normal specimen would be. Its been almost 78 days since I planted everything, other than the stunted growth, they look very very healthy, and I clipped back most of the smaller leaves. Any tips on how I can make my garden grow?

Peat absorbs the iron in the soil. Add compost or manure to your garden.
