Me Ohio in ground outside grow help

Ohio..!! Same here. I'm in the UCLA area. ( Upper Canton , Lower Akron ) How did u prep your soil. ( Amend ) How long have they been in.
Im mainly organic. I amended my soil with peat moss, pearlite, composted horse and cow manure, and raw fish buried in a ring around the plants. I've top dressed with the manure and coffee grinds mixed with egg shells, and a little splash of miracle grow, for craps n laughs. Other than that....rain water.

If u have good soil, you won't need much. Feed the soil...not the plant, in my case. We're not too far off from from the beginning of flowering up here, depending on what you're growing. So if your soil is poor, u might want to think about a bloom booster, like blood meal or something. JMO

Also idk why my plants are different heights by decent amounts . LG punch is like 4' northern light is 6'+ and pink must is like in between. Same soil. Also do you got problems with Japanese beetles or "plant hoppers"

I see a few Japanese beetles, they like my green beans more. Not too much problems with leafhoppers. Aphids and spider mite can become a problem, if u don't keep an eye on things. I caught on to some spider mites on one of my plants earlier this year before things got outta hand. All's been smooth sailing since. Bugs have a smorgasbord of broad leaf goodies to choose from around my little garden of 11'x11'. so they've left me alone for the most part.

I have a single wire atop my chain link fence and use a solar fence charger. Usually no problems with raccoons.

Wished it was that easy for me. My house, garage, and garden shed have been under attack by every known critter, from the day I moved in, 26 years ago.

I've have come into my garage to find stuff tore up. Racoons ripping out vents in my roof, opossum in trash cans, squirrels in the walls of my house. The list is long, my temper is short. My age and health isn't up for constant costly repairs. A pellet gun takes care of it before it becomes a problem. It's never out of pleasure to take any animals life, unless I intend to eat it. Or at least, put it to use.
