We got a half inch of rain yesterday. What did you get? I’ve heard anywhere from 1/10 to 1 1/2 . We needed every drop that we received for our gardens and hay fields.

You may want to put out a little fertilizer. A good chance to get more rain this weekend. Our grass is slowly coming out. Some 15-5-10 with iron would be a good choice. The iron will do a good to help with turning green. The nitrogen is also good for growth. Then you can start mowing.

My Peggy Martin is behind a lot of others. I plan on giving it some Fertilome Premium Bedding Plant Food this weekend. It’s not really for roses, but I think I need the high phosporus to bloom. I’ve already given it some Rose and Flower food. We cut our knockout roses to the ground this year. They were pretty week and after the fertilizer they are coming back great. I like using products from Fertilome. Fertilome is a good company with well thought out products. The have labels that are easy to read and that is important. Fertilome also has a all natural line. They are my favorite to use.

It doesn’t look like that we are going to have much fruit this year because of the last freeze. Maybe next year.
