I have clay soil that is painfully dry in a few spots. Next month I'm trying a probiotic soil ammendment that I read about here:<br />http://www.dakotagarden.com/2011/07/my-roses-indoor-citrus-with-probiotics.html. I probably won't know how well the soil is responding until next spring/summer, but I figured it's worth a try. I also give my plants water enriched with liquid fish emulsion. They absolutely love it! I buy the Alaska brand with wintergreen to make it less stinky.

This summer has been hard to get through, but the garden will get pretty again and we will soon forget these ugly days.HolleyGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14892421871044249940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7928880599026491390.post-39261890939369795992011-08-28T05:42:07.740-07:002011-08-28T05:42:07.740-07:00What a great post, this gardener is sure that we a...What a great post, this gardener is sure that we all feel this way on occasion.

Not many roses are blooming and if they do it is more a scraggly rose here and there instead of a nice flush. As far as I remember last August was the same. It has become quite hot here in the last couple of days, which doesn't help either... I am with you let's hang in there and wait for September and a better garden. I think, feeding the roses now is an excellent idea. You will be rewarded with a nice rose flush in autumn. <br />Christinaorganicgardendreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122516730008378516noreply@blogger.com
