producing tons of green/ not much fruit

gardenchef420
9 years ago

I built a raised bed this spring and filled it with compost I bought from blue hen organics. my garden is looking very very nice, my swiss chard ,spinach, and herbs did or still are doing great. I see tons of green vegetation and even small cucumbers but very little actual production. my tomatoes seem very well, tall green and lots of green fruit, but eggplant, peppers, and cucs just are all leaves and flowers? is there too much nitrogen and or how do I mend? I had a zucchini also that I just pulled because it was so enormous it was 6 foot tall and even wider in circumference but only produced about five or six very small squash?
