   Sean,   
      
   Thanks for the reply.  I was concerned there was an error in setup on my or   
   someone elses end.  At least I can write and maybe someone will engage now!     
      
   Regionally (Weather wise) this may be more specific to my area.  I live in   
   Indiana.  I've noticed over the past 3 years significant changes in weather   
   then historical patterns that are dramatically chaning how each season   
   transitions, and how each season feels.  For instance, in 2018, we had 90   
   degree temperatures in May with severe drought, when historically we could   
   depend on the cliche "April showers bring May flowers," in 2018 April showers   
   never arrived, flowers struggled to bloom the entire year, other than those   
   of the weedy variety that thrive in compacted soil, heat,and and drought.  In   
   2019, I believe, I may have my years off, we had a Polar Vortex, causing   
   significant damage to shrubs, trees, and grass; and delayed Spring "showers"   
   to June.  In 2020, we had a mild winter, yet one that has struggled to go   
   transition to spring.  In late May we had our final Frost when historically   
   we had ours more in April.  We are still experiencing 50 degree mornings,   
   with day time temperatures broaching 90 degrees.  Again, very few "showers"   
   have existed this year.  I can think of 2 storms when typically we have 2 per   
   week from April through Mid June.  I'm no weather expert, however I had spent   
   the last 7 years owning/operating a landscape, lawn treatment, and commercial   
   property management company, and know that weather impacts the beautifcation   
   many desire for their landscapes, and healthy they expect within any of their   
   plants.  I'm not hear to discuss global warming -- I think we have enough   
   echos that turn "political."   
      
   My question is, for those passionate about gardening, beit flowers or food,   
   what you do during times of weather changes such as we are experiencing, to   
   best care for your plants.  Obviously water, but beyond that, what   
   suppliments are you adding to soil to compensate from what mother nature is   
   restricting plants of?
