Adventures of a beginner gardener in Volcano

[Adam79]

The purple passion fruit hasn't really improved much, though it also hasn't gotten worse. If I had to put money on it, I'd say lack of nutrition (fertilizer) is the problem. The potting soil contained vermiculite, which I guess is technically fertilizer. I also bought some Worm Poop Tomato/Vegetable liquid fertilizer for my tomatoes and strawberries and fed it some of that. On a sidenote, for those of you who haven't heard of "worm poop" it is one of several products by a company called Terracycle. They do one better than recycling, they reuse. Most of their products are simply bottled in reused 2 liter & 20 oz. soda bottles among others. You can't get much greener than that! I believe their website is dot net but I could me mistaken. Definitely check them out. Anyhow, when it comes to fertilizer and plant nutrition I am what you would call "special needs" (that is my P.C. synonym for retarded). Can anybody provide some guidance to this youngin'? (yes my age still has a "2" at the beginning so I'll identify myself as a youngin' as long as I can get away with it). I am really hoping to get some fruit at some point.

Everything else is looking good. My second batch of Spinach is just about snippable (probably not a real word). I think it might be a year round crop for me. The cherry tomatoes are sprouting up at a nice pace and looking healthy so far. Hopefully fruit will start to come along before too long. Green beans and strawberries are still healthy but haven't been growing very fast. I haven't managed to kill the lime tree yet. I realize ever getting fruit from it is a longshot but its an understood gamble.

Thanks for everybody's replies so far.
