Rain is a wonderful thing, but we have been getting a awful lot of it lately. With excessive rain comes rapid plant growth, which attracts pests, which stresses the plant and in turn makes it more susceptible to disease. Then, when the rain stops, all of that lush growth suddenly has no water and it gets very droopy. Wean your plants back to low water conditions by hand watering them when they ‘flag’, i.e. get droopy. Also, fertilize with a slow release, low nitrogen fertilizer to strengthen the plants without encouraging more rapid growth. There are many products that will accomplish this: molasses sprays, seaweed sprays, organic granular fertilizers with an 8-2-4 ratio, even compost works well. Just baby them a bit so they do not go into shock with the summer heat. And, as always, if you have any questions or concerns you may email me at teresa@pollydog.com. Have a beautiful day!
