Peppers - They don�t need a lot of food, 1 teaspoon of 5-10-10 at planting time and an additional teaspoon just at bloom time. Peppers need more phosphorus and potassium to set fruit.
Plant lettuce or onion near peppers for short season?

Poblano peppers need full sunlight and rich, well-drained soil that has been amended with compost or well-rotted manure. Fertilize the plants about six weeks after planting using a water-soluble fertilizer. Water as needed to keep the soil moist but never soggy.

They do not require any exhaustive fertilizer regimen, just a healthy dose of organic fertilizer once they sprout and then a weak dose once they are transplanted into the soil. Avoid high nitrogen fertilizers if you want a productive plant.

Prune your pepper plant when it's about 4 weeks old, remove the top flowers (called the crown flowers) and select the two strongest top branches, pinching off the weak ones. This will make a Y shape, and double your harvest. You shouldn't need to prune much after that, but you need about 10 leaves per fruit on the plant to maintain enough photosynthesis, so you can pinch off any excess to try to promote reproductive growth.

The soil is pretty much 99% composted horse manure. countrylivinginacariboovalley

Squash - Look For A Nitrogen And Phosphorus. In The Beginning To Promote Vegetative And Root Growth. Then A Little More Towards Nitrogen To Promote Veg Growth. And Then When You Have A Pumpkin Growing More Potassium.
Sow Radish Seeds Around Your Squash
Enrich With Compost Or Well Rotted Manure Before Planting.
(Yokohama): Spray the mound in planting holes filled with compost prepared 2 weeks in advance. You can also sow directly in the garden (on warm ground) in full sun on hummocks amended with compost when the risk of freezing has passed.
Futsu: Plants grow 80-140cm (32-55") wide, so provide lots of space as well as fertile soil.

In a 4-ft. by 8-ft. bed, you can plant three hills of bush squash with two or three plants per hill. A planting this size might yield several dozen squash. Not bad from a plot the size of a sheet of plywood.
Semi-bush plants ultimately take up more space than bush plants, but they tend to yield more fruit, and their sprawling vines can often be tucked back close to the main plant. finegardening

Tomatillos Do Well With Regular Application Of A Fertilizer That Is High In Phosphorous And Potassium.
Before Planting, Amend The Soil With A 10-10-10 Fertilizer,
After Harvesting The First Fruits, Apply A Second Feeding Consisting Of 5-10-10 Fertilizer, Using 1/2 Cup For Each Plant. This Second Feeding Helps Tomatillos Continue Flowering And Producing Fruit.
Mulching Heavily With Straw Is Also A Great Organic Way To Control Potato Beetles Prevent Many Of The Diseases That Affect Tomatillos By Spacing Them Properly And Growing Them Up Stakes Or In Cages.
Water Frequently, And Use A Fertilizer High In Phosphorus And Potassium Once The Plants Begin To Flower.
Tomatillos Mature 60 To 80 Days After Transplanting.
Transplant Into Medium-Rich Garden Soil 24 Inches (60 Cm) Apart In Rows At Least 24 Inches Apart.
16 inch container for 3-4 tomatillos

Tomatoes
Prune bottom leaves and branches asap.
Make sure the plants get air flow (this is to prevent fungus disease).
Don't get leaves wet when watering.
Water deeply every few days. Better than shallow water every day
Use At Least A 5-Gallon Container For Growing Cherry Tomatoes. Plus, Deeper Is Better Than Shallow. Tomato Plants Have Large Root Systems. You Can Accommodate Tomato Roots In A Container, But Help The
Plant Along By Giving It As Much Room As Possible To Grow. Look For Containers That Are 18� To 24� Deep
Spider mite problem: remove some leaves and spray with rosemary oil

Peppers:
Use half compost, half potting mix.
Do not use high nitrogen fertilizer.
Use epsom salt on peppers every 3 weeks.
Spacing makes no difference to peppers.

Cilantro
Germinate when temp is between 10-25C
Succession sow every 3 weeks
Adapted to all types soil
Don't fertilize or it will stunt the plant.
At planting, add blood and bone to regular soil. Don't feed again unless its sick or yellow.
If it dries out it will go to seed.
Harvest as much as possible to encourage bushiness - youtube

Spray plants every 2 weeks with dish soap solution to prevent pests.
Strawberries (Planted June 9)
shallow roots, need large surface area.
Use mulching
Strawberries need about 1 inch of water each week. The 2 most important times for Keeping them regularly watered are at planting and when the fruits are filling out multipurpose potting soil, spacing them 25-30cm (10-12in) apart
Your plants will also appreciate regular feeding with a high-potash liquid feed as soon as the first flowers appear � a brand sold for feeding tomato plants will work just fine for this purpose.
In the first year of growth, it may be preferable to encourage runners, and let them fill in the spaces between transplants with new offspring plants.
Grow strawberries in a well-drained, sandy loam that has been generously dug with organic matter such as finished compost or well-rotted manure. Dig � cup complete organic fertilizer into the soil beneath each transplant.
