Our friends at Garden*Hood in Grant Park say those of you green thumbs with edible gardens, should fertilize:
Looks like we might have some SUN for the next few days. Now is the perfect time to fertilize your edibles since the rain has most likely leeched nutrients from the soil. This will help them put on some fresh growth and produce higher yields. We have several organic fertilizer options available like fish oil, worm castings and hen compost. Just remember to wear sunscreen because we haven't seen sun like this in weeks! —Butch
