Vegetables growing very slowly!
Comments (7)Bejay gives pretty good advice for So Cal gardeners, so you can't go too wrong listening to him. Partial shade here can be like other people's full sun, and full sun can be like a blast furnace. As for overhead watering, that's all I ever see around here commercially. The remaining large plot growers all use large sprinkler systems, rainbirds and the like. The nurseries that I go to all overhead water. I don't have time to sit and watch/manage a series of soaker hoses and such myself. I have used overhead spray from a hose nozzle for many years -- and during some hot spells I do water almost every day. If you wait for rain around here, or follow some kind of calculation, you will not have a garden for long. The trick is to not let the wilting of plants fool you into watering too much. Sometimes well watered plants will wilt like they are on death's door because of the intense/direct heat. Let the soil be your guide. Keep the soil evenly moist and you'll do fine. Layers of newspaper or cardboard and then a layer of mulch on top will help cut down on watering. Also, I don't plant the warm season garden until after St Patrick's Day. Warm season plants will just sit and sulk if you plant them out too soon. Still haven't planted beans and cukes yet as some mornings are still under 50*....See Moreplease help!!! lemon.lime tree fruit growing very slowly
Comments (1)Watering 3 times per day is... odd. Unless they are seriously root bound that shouldn't be necessary. Anyway, I am not sure there is really a problem, citrus tend to develop s-l-o-w-l-y. If they flower in the winter expect fruit to form in the spring, grow in the summer and ripen in the fall/winter. Some may be a bit faster, but they take their sweet time, even the ones that are sour ;)...See MoreClimbing Hydrangea growing very slowly

Comments (7)Wow, nice temperatures! But yes, they need something. Most likely fertilizer. For just-germinated seedlings, I'd use a diluted version of what is recommended on the fertilizer package, but once they're past the cotyledon stage, you can probably lean toward full strength. You need to just keep the soil moist a half an inch or so down. Water with that fertilizer as often as you need to keep it so. Yes, it's amusing how potting and starting soil vendors use encouraging words without using the right ones. Makes it sound like everything you need is in this bag! The soil you got ensures high performance and reliability with regard to soil structure, and as such is ideal for containers. But oh yeah, you have to add some food. I really think those words, which all potting soil vendors use in one way or another, is deceptive labeling. One might wonder why such soils don't just include some fertilizer. I suspect the reason is that it would have to be a slow release version, and they'd have to admit that, eventually, it would leach out and need to be supplemented....See Moreeahamel
