      TID: Mystic BBS 1.12 A45       MSGID: 1:227/702 d031d8fd       REPLY: 1:18/200.0 5ee463ba       TZUTC: -0400              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?              --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A45 2020/02/18 (Windows/32)        * Origin: The Underground [@] theunderground.us:10023 <-port (1:227/702)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 18/200 90/1 120/340 601 123/131 226/30 227/114 702       SEEN-BY: 229/101 424 426 664 1014       PATH: 227/702 229/426           |
