Our tips to help your plants thrive in the summer months!
Hungry Plants
Don't forget to feed your plants!
With summer, our watering greatly increases or at least it should - we're not pointing fingers at those who test the drought tolerance with near death experiences.
We increase the amount and frequency of feeding/fertilizer as the temperatures climb and our regular watering never stops.
We love the slow release fertilizer as it provides food for the plant for 3-4 months and is a constant food source. We recommend Jack's ClassiCote.
Liquid fertilizer is good but think of it as more of a feast for the plant followed by fasting until you feed them again. Jack's Classic Water Soluble Fertilizer is our favorite. Stop in to pick up yours today.
A Little Fertilizer Goes A Long Way
There can be too much of a good thing!
Follow the label - it's there for a reason. Otherwise you will likely be doing the walk of shame back to the greenhouse to replace your plants that burnt up from the fertilizer.
When you're really watering a lot, you'll want to feed about every 7-10 days with the liquid fertilizer. This applies to - Jack's Classic Water Soluble Fertilizer - as there are way too many brands out there to cover here.
Jack's Classic Blossom Booster Fertilizer can be rotated in as well to give them a little extra punch.
If you really want to get technical for those hungry plants, I would even recommend using a slow-release fertilizer as the base feed combined with a lighter-rate liquid fertilizer.
Well-fed plants are happy plants and will make your garden look great all summer!
