It’s hard to answer this without knowing other details like the specific varieties planted, their days to maturity, your climate zone, how much and what types of fertilizers were used, etc.

They were planted in May. I live in North Carolina. Most of the plants don’t even have fruit.

Now, a comment about the information architecture you’ve chosen, and its usability. I have a large monitor, yet the information I was *actually* looking for, as promised by your headline, was buried 17 screens down. That is a LONG way to scroll.

A very short list of relevant sub section links at the top would make your site far more usable and enjoyable. As much as I appreciate your work, this flaw irritates me greatly. And if me, then others.

(street cred: I’m a UX designer with 33 years of experience designing for many of the most iconic companies in Silicon Valley. I don’t mean to brag – my intent is only to add credibility to my observations.)

Anyway, thanks again for the article, and for a great website. Your advice helped me to nurture a garden that’s exceeding all of my expectations this year. My brown thumb is gone! 🙂
