Hurricane Sandy has passed after some consistent rain and hard wind. There was nothing to do but sit on my hands and see how the plants would fair. I was especially fearful for the begonia coccinea- would the canes brake, would the rain of 4 days be too much and rot the roots? Everyone seemed to have faired very well. The little bit of wind damage came today when the wind shifted from northeasterly to a northwesterly- bringing with some cold air-- 70's.
It is an interesting phenomenon that after 3 days of rain, some of the plants still need to be watered. So I watered and fed with a mild protect and feed wash, there have been some bite marks in the bougie leaves. How to have beautiful lush garden? Get everyone cranked up on some fertilizer. Party !! Get 'em tweaking on some Miracle Gro!
