Gardening Know How Questions & Answers - https://questions.gardeningknowhow.comMy small vegetable garden has not produced in about 3 years. I had the soil tested and followed their instructions that year. The plants bloomed, but produced very little fruit, if none at all. The soil is a very rich soil and is well draining, and kept watered. I am about ready to give up on gardening.

If you are getting plenty of flowers but nothing produces, then it is most likely due to poor pollination. Hand pollination often helps. Just use a small paint brush and swirl it around the inside of the flower and repeat on all the flowers on the plant. These articles will help you with attracting more pollinators: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/beneficial/insect-pollination-process.htm [1], https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/beneficial/creating-a-pollinator-garden.htm [2] If you are not seeing flowers, then you likely have too much nitrogen in the soil and should offset this by adding more phosphorus. This can be achieved by using a phosphorus-rich fertilizer or by adding bone meal to the soil.
