Growth spurt Jun 16, 2010
Activity-icon-status

After a week of heavy rain, the sun came out today. At the end of the day I observed that the vegetables that I planted early with one application of Miracle Grow had spurted. The tomatoes may have grown a foot. Tomatoes that I planted later and have not fertilized had not grown as much.
