max,

Your garden looks good to me. I believe you have adequate moisture for the plants(irrigation forum). You might post this on the vegetable form and ask about a fertilizing and soil amendment program. Light and temperature play a big part in the growth of your plants, the vegetable forum can give you better advice. Describe your soil makeup to them because that make a big difference. To me your soil looks good but are you getting good drainage? Do you know how many days until ripe fruit for the vegetable s you are growing. Seeds take longer than store bought plants. Aloha

Thanks for your help. Do I have to re-do the entire post to post it in another section?

I wonder if the young plants really are getting water. The tomato, for instance, is quite far from the soaker.

I've found that early on, I need to hand water to ensure those small root systems receive the water they need. Only after the plants have grown a bit -- larger than yours -- can I rely on my soaker.

Gently dig near a seedling or two. What's the soil moisture content? Move the soaker closer if needed.

As for the squash, it's far too small to bloom and set fruit. The flowers are likely because the plant is stressed. Again,check for soil moisture.

max,

I believe you can copy and paste into another forum. I agree with jean. Try to water longer to allow the wet plume to reach the plants root ball. Unfortunately, the better the soil drains the harder it is to move the water plume sideways. Check by using a stick or probe that the water is reaching past the plant. What type of fertilizer regimen are you performing? Include that info in your other forum thread. Aloha

I have seen this at a friends garden before. Turned out to be nematodes in the soil.

You could also check the nitrogen content. Although that is a stretch.
