Hello readers and garden fanatics! Yes, I’m obsessed with my garden as well.  It brings me joy to see my plants all healthy and on their way to providing food for my family.

On another note, I noticed one of my plants not doing so good.  It’s turning yellow and the leaves are dying. There are tiny tomatoes on it though, so there’s a glimmer of hope! Or I hope so anyway.

Transplanting tomatoes, cantaloupe and watermelon plants happened Saturday also.  And I did some pruning of the squash and zucchini plants.  (Blog about pruning plants soon to follow)

Here is my plant that needs some TLC, along with a new, healthy cherry tomato plant I purchased in case my life saving rescue doesn’t work out.

As you can see, the plant on the left is sick and the plant on the right is the new healthy one.  I sent this picture to my Dad since he’s wonderful at this garden stuff and he said I was right.  Be a plant doctor and try to help it out. Lol so that’s what I did!

Here is my transplant, hospital soil media.  Now, I did plant the new, vibrant plant with the dying one and staked them both. Here’s hoping for the best!
I added new soil to a bigger pot and put Epsom salt and a dash of sugar in the bottom so the plants can absorb it and hopefully thrive.

It doesn’t look so bad! The winds here lately have been terrible on that poor plant.  I see myself pruning the dead leaves on that plant later today. I also need to prune on my other tomato plants to promote airflow and tomato growth.  (More on that soon to come)

Now, here are some other plants I transplanted this weekend. 

Cantaloupe – yes, I need to prune this one too….

Watermelon! It looks fine just like it is.  I did add the Epsom salt and sugar mixture to the cantaloupe and watermelon plants.  

Here’s how:
1. Obtain a bigger container/pot.
2. Get yourself some fresh soil.
3. Make sure the whole is wide enough for your plants and add a dash of Epsom Salt and sugar to the soil.
4. Add your plants and cover the roots with fresh soil.
5. Water but don’t erode. 

So this blog isn’t all about my poor, little tomato plant that needs some intervention,  here is a quick picture of my garden.  The kids toys did manage to get in the shot as well, but that just makes this picture much more fun!

Go and have fun in your garden! If you have any ideas about helping plants thrive, please share your wisdom.
