YES It sure is---no sun -cold and wet and wash out and plants that are lime green--[ MINE ARE ALL LIME GREEN]-- but here in the north east I can give some hope--the Agro-k will bring the plant back around very much faster --Im getting calls from all sorts of people and farmers --If you have started the feeding sked-- till the sun and the warmth comes back stop the feeding sked and feed the 10 8 8 every 2nd day at a weak 1oz to the gallon of water-- till the sun and the warmth comes back --which looks like wed--thur next week and when the color starts to come backs around --GO Back on the FEEDING SKED--The only thing that is enjoying this weather and doing well are PEAS--IF I CAN HELP ANY ONE PLEASE CALL OR MAIL ---CRAIG

Patience is the key. It didn't matter what your feeding schedule was the weather we had for the last two weeks all plants would have been lime green. Trust me when I say stick to the application rates don't double it the color will return.

Two nice days in and done. It is amazing how the crtters bounce back. My guess is I am two shades better after only this short time. Maybe it was the misting too. It was really hot here today. I misted eleven to four to favor the plants. They loved the attention. I stayed with reduced everything until they tell me they are ready to go again.

Looking good at back, to ground, with the early vine.
