Today's Fresh Food From the Garden

Heat, Heat HEAT!

   Its pretty hot where I am and some of my plants aren't doing so well. Sometimes watering a lot works, sometimes it doesn't. But what you can do that I have found to work is mix fertilizer (click here) in with the water. This gives the plant an energy boost so that it will take in more water.


IMPORTANT NOTE: You only apply fertilizer once to twice a week and you have to water about twice a day because it will need the water.
