 o
Second Flush of Bloom

Posted by Seamommy 7bTX (My Page) on

Many of the blooms seem to be puny, although I've fed and watered well this summer. I didn't even expect some of these to have a second flush of bloom before the fall cooling off, but here they are blooming and looking small. Any hints about how to build them up a little? Or should I pinch them off? I've been giving alfalfa tea, cornmeal, coffee grounds. Got zillions of earthworms in the soil. The first flush this past spring was FABulous. Cheryl

RE: Second Flush of Bloom

In hot, hot weather, blooms will be smaller. If you like them, enjoy them, if not, take them off and wait until the fall flush.
