I have a general supermarket vegetable question. Often, or most of the time, my cucumber and tomatoes have a fishy taste. I'm in Europe but I'd guess the growing methods are the same all over? Anyway, has anyone else noticed this fishy taste? Is some type of fish product used in the growing? I freaking love these vegetables, as long as they don't taste like fish. I get so angry cutting into yet another fishy cucumber lol. Or is it my tastebuds that are messed up?

Both are very watery. So they'll hold more flavor from the soil. Fish meal is used in some organic fertilizer when manure isn't used due to fear of bacteria.

Fish emulsion is a common and very good fertilizer. Extremely high in nitrogen and phosphorous. Try washing your hard skinned veggies like tomatoes and curls in diluted vinegar. Might help a bit

Nothing yet but very interested in turning my backyard into a garden

Grow what you actually eat otherwise you really are growing a plant for no reason. Also, read a book about gardening. I read the Encyclopedia of Rhodale organic gardening one winter it taught me so much. After that every plant was easy to grow. Its a nice skill to learn bro.

Too much to list. But Kale is a homerun bro.

The only thing I put a lot of time in growing is weed, the rest is just some lemon balm and mint I give a splash of water every once in a while.

A couple of tips I used growing my tomatoes this year for larger tomatoes and to prevent disease:

I pruned the bottom branches off 8-10 inches from the bottom of the plant, so no leaves are touching the ground. Apparently it helps prevent soil bound diseases.

I only watered once every 5-7 days and I kept the watering to the base of the plants only and not on the leaves. Not watering too frequently or directly on the leaves helps prevent disease like blight and tomatoes from splitting. It also makes the tomatoes root deep in their own search of moisture and water.

I pruned and suckered all my tomato plants this year. This is probably the largest crop with huge tomatoes that I've ever had .

Did the same always do but had record drought this year and only tomatoes survived it. I had to water more days but we went 60 plus with no rain and my tomoare in full sun.
