Q&A: Mums Blooming Too Early
National Gardening Association
Question: Help! My mums are already blooming! Should I cut them back?
If I do cut them back will they bloom again in the fall?
Answer: Mums are typically pinched back repeatedly, beginning when they are only about four inches high and continuing until about the fourth of July. This procedure delays their flowering until fall and at the same time makes them dense and bushy. In some cases, it is possible to enjoy their spring bloom and then cut them back and fertilize them to encourage a second flush of bloom in the fall. Since they have already devoted energy to forming the buds, you might as well enjoy the blooms now.

I theraly enjoy your articles on gardening, I look forward to reading them each day, now I have a question,
I wanted to help my Vegitable plants since my garden is mostley clay so I purchased Alaska Fish Fertilizer 5-1-1 liquid mixed as directed on the bottle and sprayed around the plants and sprayed the plants now the plants are wilted and withered, the directions didn't say how to use it but it sure is killing my tomato, Pepper plants
and beans,
Why don't they inidicate on the bottle that the contents is too strong to spray on the plants?
Any comments on this subject ?
