  Here’s a question for you: Can tomatoes be planted in the same garden spot year after year or must they be moved from one spot to another from one year to the next?
  When asked this question, I consistently answer that you should practice crop rotation since keeping the same crop in the same spot year after year invites soil fungus disease and insect pests. Disease organisms specific to a certain crop build up in the soil to a level that will eventually restrict growth of that crop or kill

  1. If your bougainvillea plant just grows without flowering, it is getting too much water. The remedy: let it dry out almost to the point of wilting. Then water it only enough to keep it alive. A thirsty bougainvillea blooms like crazy. You can also trim back the long, non-flowering branches part way, and they will grow flowering stems sooner.
  2. If your squashes are blooming but haven’t started to set, you can make that happen quickly. Notice that female squash flowers have baby squashes
