    That's because this echo doesn't have many participants in it. I elisted it quite some time ago and Mike Powell has taken over moderatorship.

    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?

    I'm glad to see traffic in here also!

    I'd highly getting a soil test for your area. Each place is different, of course, but a good soil test can let you know what you need to add. For example, I know that if you see dandilions in your yard, it's low on calcium.

    Both of my parents are certifed master gardners from Oregon State University and have been gardening since I can remember.

    I'd suggest contacting your local county extension agent and talking to them about resources they recommend. They'll know best for your area.

    Later,
    Sean
