Surprizes
It has been a strange fall. My landscaping buisness has been very busy even though this is usually a slow time for us. The weather has been erratic- getting cold, then warm, then hot, then cold again. It is really hard on plants when the weather changes abruptly, just as hard as it is on people. Did you ever notice how people get sick more often when the weather changes abruptly? Plants are the same way. My crew and I have been spraying plants with liquid seaweed to help them overcome stress. We also have been careful not to overwater or underwater when the temperatures change. Try liquid seaweed and see if your plants like it. But be careful because it can stain porous surfaces so rinse it off if you get it on anything like a window, the side of a house or a patio. Happy gardening!
