Glumyeeyore26,
If it had a high front or first number,
you'll only promote GREEN LUSH GROWTH,
not much flowering action..
I use Schulz Plus 10~60~10...
The high middle number encourages flowering
and fruit/production.....
(**The first number on any fertilizer is for green growth, middle number is for flowering and fruit production and rooting, and the last is for help with good over all health of the plant.**)
You stick around here, and we'll have you
being a gardening pro in a season or two..
DO NOT DISPAIR!!
Go and make posts on individual things you had problems with and each gardener will come thru
that they are good or knowledgeable on and they'll give you some pointers and some hints
and tips....FOR SURE...

As far as water goes I go out every evening I have to much to do in the mornings. I'm a stay at home mom but that doesn't mean I stay home. HE HE !
As far as soil it's really rocky so I pulled out as many rocks as I could get and pull them as I see them.
As far as the hose I use the hose attachment that came with the Miracle Grow. I don't know what the numbers are on the box since I ran out. Other than that I use my thumb or flood it. I know it's not over watered.
As far as planting some were bought in containers which I pulled out broke up the roots a little and planted then directly in. The ones I could do from seed like the pumpkins I put them right in. They got off to a great start but fizzled out.
They get plenty of sun my garden is not shaded until mid to late evening. It's in my back yard (the west side of my home).
My biggest concern is the pumpkins. I am worried I will not have any for Halloween. The other plants I listed were just to give you an idea of what I did this year.
I have been extremely limited with finances so I have not been able to get other fertilizers and other soil ammenities. I can not do compost here as there isn't much to put in a pile other than grass and a few tiny veggie scraps from the kitchen. Plus I was limited with time to get the soil ready we moved here May 1st this year. I planted about two weeks later.
Next year if I can afford it I will put tomatoes and peppers in large containers and turn the garden into a pumpkin/cucumber patch.

Rush jobs you want it bad you get it bad. The worse you want it the worse you get it. So how bad do you want it?
