Care and harvesting tips for garden corn and plants
The article advises light shallow cultivation to avoid root damage, harvest sweet corn promptly in a cool place to preserve sugar and flavor, and process small batches for canning or freezing. It also suggests light fertilizer for flowering window plants and perch boxes to boost growth.
Fertilize window boxes and shrubs for better blooms
Farmers notes advise generous watering and complete fertilizer for window boxes and spring flowering shrubs. Broadcast two handfuls of fertilizer per surface area, rake in, then water well to prevent drought. Remove lilac seedheads to boost next season’s blossoms.
