Posted on October 14, 2021October 14, 2021Bone meal On Thursday last week, I put bone meal for phosphorus around the three tomatoes that haven’t flowered this year. Monday, I found flowers on one. I haven’t checked the others yet. Maximilian sunflower flamingo. Monday, I think this is switchgrass from some native seed mix. This is Sorghastrum nutans, another major tallgrass prairie species. Thanks Jeanne for the correction!! Monday, a dog smiled. Monday, also sorted seeds from Mom and others to plant now and later in winter. Monday, got seeds in the mail!! Monday, a plant hopper on okra. Sunday stir fry contained garden poblanos and jalapeƱos.
