How to prepare your garden before a vacation!

Hi every one! I thought I'd do a video to discuss how to prepare your garden before you leave for vacation or multiple consecutive days. These tips will help ensure your plants are healthy when you return!

1) Cut down any potential bolters to the first few leaves. (Bolt = go to seed or begin to flower)
2) Cut down leafy plants and preserve, they can overshadow others and prevent them from getting sunlight.
3) Spray for anthracnose or any other plant fungus/disease.
4) Fertilize!
5) Rid of insect infestations
6) Cut fruit, even babies if you will be gone for more than a few days. If you don't, the fruit can become overgrown and the plant will stop producing.
7) Ensure watering system. I used a $6 sprinkle on a timer :) Test in advance!

Like! If you found this helpful and if gardening is your passion!

Peas and love,
Holli
