I almost didn't see this lovely flower as I pruned today. First one of the Winter.

This is either the original plant about 30yrs old or a cutting from it.

I know it’s just like the last one but no flowers. So why did I post this? It’s a new season, summertime, I want to share my feeding routine. Plants are only 2yrs old so I haven’t chronicled this process. So let’s start, with this I can go back and see what works.
I will feed the sisters the beginning of every season, the same way, until something goes wrong. I believe the last feeding was just after spring started.
Today, 6/31/26 took a small had rake and scraped the top layer and mulch back about a foot or so, then sprinkled about 40g of Blood Meal and 40g of bone meal, covered the dirt and mulch back and gave a good watering. How do I know 40g? I don’t, but I used a scoop that was in my protein powder and that always gave 40g 😉💡🧠 let’s see how happy they get, or if I kill em 😜
You see how the one in the back middle is a different type, bigger more velvety leaves?

The three sisters were happy campers this spring, and yes I dance with them under the moon feeling connected and sharing energy, it’s a beautiful thing. The step brothers are a lemon tree on the right and Datura on the left, oh yeah, there is a lemon balm in the middle,

Not sure of zones but located in NWPA and put outside once the temp was consistently above 50 degrees

Hey guys, I moved in with this tree about 6 months ago and seems to be having a really hard time. We are in a normally very temperate area, but have had some pretty big rains this year and even some fairly substantial hail, then unseasonably early heat.

Any idea what could be going on here?

Things are growing but super slowly this year.
