Hey Blue Star.
I got the soil sample report back today and I can't offer any advice on what they would suggest to use because there was nothing irregular in there report.
Everything was moral so we will just wait and see how the Strawberries turn out this year.

I plan on doing container planting again this year. I will do 2 tomato plants in a big plastic container. Do you get the container plants? Ive done both, and the container plants have been very successful. I got them at walmart. Last year my mom was so sick that i only planted 3 containers, all flowers and coleus, so she could enjoy them from her window. And cuttings at her bedside. This year, i hope to have all my containers full!

I have tried both and it seems the indeterminate tomato plants grown larger then the pot. the plants meant for a container are the determinate ones or ones called a bush tomato. I have done the container cucumbers many times also. the variety of cucumbers that grow well in a container are call bushmasters............good luck.

there isn't anything better then picking your own vegetables and eating them right after. now that is fresh stuff.

Might explain why the containers went wild.

I have found the determinate ones at Wal-Mart, john and Joes here in town and rural king in Peru. usually anything that says bush or patio tomato are determinate plants.

I think the ones at Wal-Mart actually say container gardening on them. Easy peasy.

I think there is a huge crop of mushrooms in my back yard. It's a bit too wet to check it out.

I only stick with the ones I know. I was out hunting mushrooms one day and came across an old gentleman hunting mushrooms. He looked a little down and seemed like he wanted some one to talk with so I lent him a ear. He was talking about all kinds of mushrooms he has found and said he and his 3rd wife would look for mushrooms all the time. I said you had 3 wives he said yes widowed 3 times now. He said the first two had passed because of eating the wrong poisoned mushrooms so I said and the 3rd one also died from eating poisoned mushrooms. He said no she died from a gunshot because she wouldn't eat the mushrooms...................
