Pretty much everything you quoted is bad information. Overwatering tomatoes will not give you bigger tomatoes it will give you split tomatoes. Giving plants just Epson salts is not good and that is way too much anyway.

If you have any specific questions PM me and I would be happy to help.

We get some strong winds here in central Washington. Anything in the ground is gold; potatoes, onions, radishes, and carrots (but have failed a couple times trying to grow garlic) Sturdy vines, crawling plants are preferred; cucumbers, zucchini, spaghetti squash, and cantaloupe grow very well. BTW nice looking Great Pumpkin progress, Ben.

Fruit trees are everywhere in the Kittitas, Yakima, and Wenatchee Valleys. Yield is always impressive; we have an apple, nectarine, plum, pear, and cherry tree in the yard. Jams, lots of jams every September. I make a decent Amaretto Nectarine Jam.

The wind really batters tomatoes, jalapenos, and loose leaf lettuce, so I improvised an old display cabinet for a greenhouse (pic above a few posts). It extends the growing season from late March to October.

Moisture is always a problem. Yes, there are parts of Washington where it does not rain very often. Water at night, or early in the morning. Enjoy the garden
