Veggies not fruiting? Or not fruiting enough?
Maybe the issue you don't have plants that attract the essential pollinators you need for a good fruiting.
The honeybee is the most common thought of for pollinating your fruits/vegetables. When you plant flowers that attract beneficial insects you not only get honeybees but also bumblebees, wasps (yes they pollinate too) and other insects that pollinate.
One plant you can add to your garden is Aster. Its a beautifully simple flower. They grow along ditches in some places, or in my case along our ponds. They bloom in fall when most flowers have stopped blooming, which makes them a critical source of pollen for our little pollinator insects. Plant these in full sun near your veggies and they are sure to be pollinated with all the insects around.
Check out my past post on African Blue Basil for more plants to attract the good insects.
