🌱Got a question. I'm in the PNW zone 9a formerly 8b. Most things in my yard are far behind. My indeterminate tomato plants are small and just now starting to flower, and my squash hasn't flowered yet. I've been using fox farms big bloom and watering regularly. What else can I use to help them along?

🌱 FYI.
In Washington it is illegal to transport invasive species, even by watercraft! For Clean, Drain, Dry Week, learn how to clean your watercraft between sites and protect Washington from invasive aquatic plants like Eurasian Watermilfoil.

There are 3 species of invasive jewelweed on our noxious weed list, but there are also several native species of jewelweeds! Jewelweeds like to grow in wet areas, so check out your local wetland or riparian area for these species.

🌱 Just out of curiosity, who has tried a greenstalk planter? Did you like it? Do you think it's worth the hype? They are expen$ive and I've been considering getting one. I know a few YouTubers go on about them, but many are getting affiliate money. What are your thoughts and experiences?
