Before I go out to check what the 4″ rain in Burke County did to the pumpkin patch, I want to remind you how important it is to fertilize after what my friend, Winnie, calls a “toad choker”!
The heavy, soaking rains in the CSRA mean we gardeners need to get out and fertilize. Just like diluting tea with extra water, the rain takes vital nutrients from the soil…If you have not used a Slow Release or Controlled Release fertilizer up to now, it’s (Osmocote pellets) time to go ahead and work that in. Also you may consider a “water soluble” fertilizer such as “Proven Winners” water soluble fertilizer.
Full report on Burke County Gulley Washer ASAP!
Blessings from the Garden.
