Day 3

Okay, so day 3 is a pretty short one. Not much to report. Just a little bit of happy growth. I am assuming that this is because the plants went from a studio apartment to a 4 bedroom house over night. They are spreading their arms a lil. :)


That and I sprinkled a little Epsom Salt over each one. From everything I have read, plants LOVE epsom salt! Just so everyone knows, epsom salt is Magnesium Sulfate... MgSO4


Magnesium is an essential component in the production of chlorophyll. Any plant that is termed a "heavy feeder" loves epsom salt! Examples of plants that love Epsom salt are Roses, Tomatoes, Potatoes, Peppers and for those that are interested, Cannabis. Thats right! If you want your pot plant to be big bushy and full of bud throw some epsom salt in the container with it. (BTW, I goggled the details of Magnesium Sulfate to make sure my info was quasi legit and Wikipedia informed me of the cannabis thing...) (I don't condone drug usage but I do condone healthy, happy plants!)


Anyway, I sprinkled the Epsom Salt on day one and my Garden Porn for the day shows my results on the 3rd day. Enjoy! :)


Day 3 Sweet Mint, Peppermint, and Bee Balm getting bigger. Roses have more blooms.
Happy Petunias and Strawberries
Tomatoes are getting bushy. Pansies are getting more blooms.
A little bit of growth from my watermelon.
Zukes are spreading out a bit.
Zukes are spreading out and so is the squash in the bottom left of the pic.
