I haven't tried this yet, looking forward to see if it works.

"This is my basil and herb garden. I want to share a tip with everyone. I am feeding them with banana peel water. Take 2 banana peels and soak overnight in a gallon of water. Water your plants with the banana peel water. It's full of potassium and more. You can use it on veggies, flowers, herbs. Does not need to be refrigerated. I keep a jug going all the time and keep adding water as I use it up. I also throw in peels as I eat them. The peels turn brown and you can discard them after you've added more peels. It's a great organic fertilizer. This is good on veggies, herbs, flowers and tomatoes. I am using it on my green pepper too. My spearmint plant is huge as well and so is my dill is waist high. I have tons of green cherry tomatoes and beautiful green peppers.

Cucumber supports allow this popular crop to grow up instead of along the ground. This tends to keep them disease free and healthy....Lettuce love the shade and grow beautifully underneath, two crops for the space of one.....

Anyone have their fall garden all planted? Mine is a mess! Going to be enjoying the dirt all this week & maybe I can still sneak a few Sept items in. Show me pictures of your beautiful gardens for inspiration!! 😋
Keep in mind if your garden was under water from Harvey, you need to amend your soil.
