"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or
where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is
actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly;
who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and
shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the
great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the
triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly,
so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
Theodore Roosevelt
It has come to my attention that I am very interested in learning more in the horticulture world. Having a garden let alone houseplants has really had a therapeutic effect on me and my household. I have fallen in love all over again and found my green thumb. After it's vacation it's back and more ready than ever to make the greenery in and around my house thrive!
The first upgrade to the health of my plants would be the use of E.B. Stone products.
Just say no to Miracle Grow!! Unless you like the buzz of fungus gnats...I know my roots sure don't!

Just in the first week or so of use my plants are dancing with joy!
My next plan of action is to dive deeper into NPK nutrients and the exact needs of each of my plants, indoor and out.
Phosphorus: (the second number) supports root development, fruit and flowering, and helps the plant fight off disease. It helps plants transfer energy from one part of the plant to another.
Potassium: (the third number) helps plants fight off disease and weather extreme heat or cold. It regulates the synthesis of proteins and starches.
Micro-nutrients such as calcium and magnesium, trace minerals, and beneficial microbes are also important to include in your soil mix.
Well, those are the basic foundations that I will be starting from while on this journey of soil education. Hope you find it useful! Stay tuned for there will be more to come!
