lantana’s Question
I bought Osmocote Flower & Vegetable by mistake. I usually use Indoor/Outdoor. Have already opened the container, therefore, I can’t return it. I added to some flower boxes and was planning to add it to outdoor pots. Will my flowers be fertilized enough or should I supplement with liquid feed?
Thank you!

I think your flowers will do fine - they have no idea what was on the label and since all the Osmocote fertilizers contain the big three (nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium) plus micro nutrients they will thrive. Let me know if your petunias sprout tomatoes or your marigolds form cucumbers - I used to think that could happen. Keep growing, Marianne Binetti
