Started composting at the house and mixing in horse and rabbit poo. Seems to be helping a lot.
Usually Miracle gro regularly, but have not this year. Will probably start next week.

Very nice... My Roma's look like cherry tomatoes this year, too dry and LC city water just barely keeps things alive... We have a large group of Grackles (Wal-Mart birds) that have been roosting im my neighbors bamboo... They have been a pain this year with the tomaters', i have shrimp net over pvc frames to keep them out but the smart bastdas still manage to get thru and peck the nicest ones on the plants... Any ideas would be appreciated, we have tried owls, pie pans, ornaments, ect. and my dog is tired of chasing them out of the garden... Thanks, Hydro

Dont think that would fly in the hood, not that I didnt consider it  These are some smart birds, they have "lookouts" posted in the highest trees and when I get out of my truck or step outside they start warning the offenders to haul arse out of the garden... I am thinking about building some sort of framed cabinet with chicken wire over the tomato portion of the garden, something with doors on the back for easy access... It would be a good winter project...

That's what I've been doing with my maters cause the grackles/blackbirds and the mockingbirds will eat the ripe ones on the vine. I've picked about 40 romas and the cherry tomatoes are taking off now. Also have picked a few bell peppers, some hot peppers and a couple eggplant. Only got a small plot on side my house - 4 tomatoes, 2 bell peppers, 1 eggplant, 1 jalapeno, 1 cayenne, and some herbs, but it gets us a few fresh veggies during the summer. The dry weather has seemed to take a toll this year 'cause the garden seemed to do better the last couple years.

I will do a combo of all the suggestions, I like the cilantro idea and will research that some more... Picking early seems to help as they dont like green maters...
Still planning on building a "structure" of sorts this Fall when things cool down a bit... Thanks again for the ideas !!!
