Experience vs Impatience

Worth if my garden is any indication a lot of plants can grow well with a ph over 7. If my cucumbers made any more or any faster I would just have to pull some of them up. Almost every bed in my garden is over 7 and I have some very large and productive plants. The most notable problem I have had with the high ph over the past few years has been a tendency of iron deficiency showing up badly on both tomatoes and peppers. The problem is if it is allowed to continue it will only get worse and can kill new growth eventually especially on young tomato plants.
