I know it is summer, but we have had some really active weather lately. Between the wind, the rain and the heat, we are getting a compressed version of a whole season in a few days. All of the rain has helped the lawns and gardens grow, but has definitely been too much for some containers and other plantings. If your plants are looking a little tired, this is a great time to give them some fertilizer. Every time a plant gets watered, the soil gets rinsed or leached of valuable nutrients for your plants, so go ahead and help them out. Any type of water soluble fertilizer will do the trick. Just follow the directions and don't add more than recommended. Look for one that has 3 equal numbers, like a 10-10-10 or 15-15-15 or even a 20-20-20 formulation or something close to it. Your pots will thank you by greening up and blooming better for you.
