Instant gratification. I bought 2 gal. sprayer and an economy box of MiracleGro granular plant food. 4 tbs went in the sprayer, not the 2 tbs. indicated in the instructions. Instant growth. 2tbs good, 4 is better. Of course it doesn't work this way in the garden. Too much food; leggy growth, oversized leaves, burnt roots, dead plant. I don't think I've killed them this time. But I'd do well to remember that patience and respect for process are the axioms of a respectable gardener.
I need to repot begonia 'Big Mac'. The plant currently sits about 1/2 down from lip of pot. The rhizomes are having a time of it.
