It Can’t Hurt to Try
I have been feeding the gardens about every 8 – 9 days with Miracle Grow. I have noticed over the last several years that though the perennials do come up, they are lacking the vigorous growth or size that they could be in relationship to how many years I have enjoyed them. With trees taking moisture and components out of the soil, perhaps the perennials need a boost. Dennis has made sure I have enough garden hose to reach the far back gardens with the Miracle Grow feeder. The fertilizer hitting the above ground leaves plus nurturing the soil around the plants could help for the 2016 spring.
I have been doing some reading. On my next trip to the store I am going to purchase some Epson Salts. It is recommended to sprinkle sparingly around the base of perennials and shrubs for absorption into the soil for added nutrients. I am all for trying to keep the plants I have going and growing. It sure can’t hurt to try.
Though the day warmed up quite quickly, this forenoon I got the feeding and watering done while Dennis completed the cleaning of the car garage by making nice on his workbench. When I peeked in I did ask him, “Whose garage is this?”
After a good week of taking care of things here on Stauffer Avenue, I think we will hit the Home Town Cafe for a bit of supper. It’s a good thing.
