Hello Gardeners! After the wonderful rain, the sunshine has appeared and I've noticed the gardens are starting to have a wonderful green hue about them. Every spring it is hard to imagine how the dull brown patches could turn green and lush, but every year it does and it's a spectacular site.
In this post let's have a discussion on natural fertilizers and tips on how to maintain those luscious plants for when the hot summer days really start cooking. Any pointers on how to save some money on expensive garden amenities would also be greatly appreciated. So, all you gardeners out there who have great ideas please share with the rest of us. For example, to help my sad little tomatoes along I'm applying coffee grounds as a fertilizer. If you don't drink coffee find someone who does and have them save theirs for you. I have also heard that Epsom salt is a great thing to use in the garden. Check out this blog for the recipe, greengardenblog.com.

Hello fellow gardeners,
ReplyDeleteI am wondering if any others are getting spots on their tomatoes--both on the leaves and the fruit. If so, do you know what it is or how to treat it?
Thanks, Josh
