I'm wondering about something going on in my raised bed.

Our bed has  good store bought ground; and have been using it for maybe 5 years.  I fertilize with compost tea (suppose more like worm casting tea) and usually use sphagnum moss to mulch (though this year am just using newspaper.)

When we plant tomatoes things grow well.  Zucchini, Cukes and Broccoli just explode outta the ground.  But every time we try to plant any melon or pepper we always meet with dismal failure.  We plant from starts, and they will grow for a bit but never really amount to anything.  Our biggest melon was the size of a golf ball and never got a single pepper.

Any idea what our problem might be?
