Rise and shine!
Are you ready for one of the last tasks to do this August? Don’t worry, it’ll be vacation time right after you finish fertilizing your plants! This is actually a great way to keep your crops and flowers healthy until the end of autumn!
I had no idea how important it was to give my plants extra nutrients before summer’s end, until I tried it myself. And, boy, was that the best thing I’ve ever done for my crops!
Don’t you want a basket full of juicy, freshly harvested fruits or a garden bursting with colorful flowers? Then it’s time to surprise them with some fertilizer!
Start With Your Beautiful Impatiens
Impatiens can fit into any yard. Their purple, pink, white, and red petals are a must-have for every gardener!
These flowers will bloom until the first frost, but only if you fertilize them at the right time – August! By fertilizing this month, your impatiens will thrive in your flower bed all the way through to late fall!
The best fertilizer for them is a slow-release granular type. In just a few weeks, they’ll start to leave you breathless! Every time you take a walk in the garden, you’ll be able to enjoy their lovely scent!
Fertilize Tomatoes For The Juiciest Taste
Do you want to make your tomatoes taste better? Then fertilize your veggies by the end of summer. This will also result in more blooms!
You should use a fertilizer that contains nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. These nutrients can make your tomatoes sweeter and juicier!
Right after harvesting, you’ll start to notice a huge difference. The salad you make will taste ten times better than usual!
Don’t Forget to Give Some Nutrients To Your Crape Myrtle Trees
Crape myrtle trees can be the perfect decoration for your backyard. They come in pink, purple, and red.
If you want to keep their beautiful colors until the fall, use fertilizer! It’s best to use a general-purpose one. You can also put some mulch around them!
Fertilize Your Basil For An Amazing Harvest
Don’t you just love the smell of basil? It’s one of the most delicious herbs to add to meals and can make every dish so much tastier!
Right before harvesting, you’ll need to add a fertilizer that contains nitrogen. You can also use coffee grounds, tea, or mineral water. This will make your basil grow like crazy! You’ll have plenty of freshly picked herbs. Trust me, you won’t have enough space to store them!
Every year, I end up gifting baskets full of basil to my friends. It’s a great surprise if you’re unsure what to give your loved ones, right?
Fertilizing in August is perfect for closing the chapter on summer gardening. After that, you can relax and enjoy your vacation!
Now, head over to your plants, roll up your sleeves, and get this done by the end of the month. You won’t believe how healthy your crops, trees, and flowers will be in the fall! Hurry up, the clock is ticking!
