Heat Wave Coming Northeast Quick afternoon wet mow in before the heat wave kicks off Sunday and well into next week. Here’s some tips to keep your lawn healthy during the stress. 1. Monitor your moisture daily, mornings and late afternoons are your watering windows. Don’t just set it and forget it as overwatering increases your risk of disease outbreak. Check your ET rates and water accordingly (I like 60% of daily ET) 2. I’d recommend putting down a good shot of K (potassium) this week to help your grass battle the heat and disease pressure. Know the type of potassium you’re using as some products can be hot and need to be watered in 3. Raise your height of cut and avoid mowing mid-day. A denser thicker lawn provides shade for the crown and keeps soil surface temps down. 4. Good time for a preventative fungicide application and or wetting agent.

Very psychedelic zinnia volunteered from last year’s patch I planted Burpee’s state fair mix of solid color zinnias last year, and this guy popped up a few weeks ago. Hopefully the other flowers have the same phenotype, and I can try and self seed and stabilize this pattern! Very trippy👽 Originally by u/njdgardens on Reddit: https://tinyurl.com/2c8ckg29

Can this be saved? I was given this Jade plant when it was really tiny and honestly didn’t notice how fucked up it looked. I don’t know anything about plant care and thought it was doing fine. What can I do to help this? It’s leaning so much that I have to keep it against the window to support it or it’ll fall over and break.

Boxwood dying? Hi Redditors, new homeowner who inherited some boxwoods. Can anyone help me understand what is wrong with this boxwood? There are others near it and around the yard that look totally fine. Originally by u/No-Musician4812 on Reddit: https://tinyurl.com/27n2auu9

Carrots taking absolutley forever I sowed these in March and the roots are still tiny. They just grow so slowly for me, the same thing happened last year. I didn’t fertilize them because my soil seems to be naturally high in nitrogen, but I’m wondering if I should apply a liquid fertilizer. Otherwise they look very nice just taking forever. There’s about 6 rows here thinned to about 1.5 inches apart so it’s a lot of carrots. Originally by u/Ordinary-You3936 on Reddit: https://tinyurl.com/2bxjta55

Why is this pumpkin seedling starting to go pale? I moved it from a peet pellet start in the basement to the garden a few days ago. Is it a goner? Originally by u/thejdoll on Reddit: https://tinyurl.com/2beoocl5

Droopy snake plant? Does anyone have insight into why my snake plant is droopy? I thought I was watering too much now I think maybe I'm not watering enough. It's in my front window that faces south. The leaf with the scar is from when I was overwatering. It got VERY droopy and plump and squishy so I cut it off in hopes of saving the rest of the plant. Thank you in advance!
