A more active pattern may develop later next week and continue through mid-June, resulting in potentially above-normal precipitation across the region.

🌧️🥵 Next week looks hot and humid, but I’m also watching signals for a potentially much wetter pattern beyond that.

Some long-range guidance suggests parts of the Southeast could see rainfall totals well above normal, with some areas potentially receiving two to three times their typical rainfall.

The reason? Increasing signs of tropical moisture associated with a possible Gulf system. Right now, this looks much more like a rainmaker than a windmaker, which is often the case with early-season tropical systems.

It’s far too early to talk specifics, but the signal is there and it’s something I’ll be watching closely.

Stop by The Garden Center for high phosphorus fertilizers for your million bells (Calibroachoa) and other annuals. We have pure 0-45-0 that can be diluted in water or Happy Frog Tiger Bloom organic with elevated phosphorus. Both in stock.

Million Bells don't quit blooming because they're finicky—they quit because they've literally eaten every nutrient within reach. These compact powerhouses produce up to 500 flowers per plant in a season, and each one demands phosphorus, potassium, and nitrogen to form properly. In containers, they exhaust their soil supply in 3-4 weeks flat. That's when you see buds stalling, colors fading, and that sad "is it dying?" look. The fix? Liquid fertilizer every two weeks isn't spoiling them, it's matching their metabolic reality. These annuals evolved to bloom fast and bloom hard—they're programmed for abundance, not patience. Skip feedings and they'll cannibalize older leaves to fuel new flowers, creating that half-dead, half-blooming confusion gardeners mistake for disease. Feed them on schedule and watch them return to their natural state: absolutely covered in blooms.

Are you feeding your Million Bells enough to match their appetite, or expecting them to bloom on empty? [AHMUS]

Every February, across the American South,
landscapers commit mass tree mutilation.

They call it "pruning."

Arborists call it "crepe murder."

Those crepe myrtles with the flat-topped stubs?
The ones that look like hat racks? The ones with a
dozen spindly shoots growing from each cut?

That's not pruning. That's vandalism.

Crepe myrtles don't need to be topped. They never
needed to be topped. No arborist recommends it.
No horticultural textbook supports it.

Here's what topping actually does:

Produces weak, thin water sprouts from the cut
that are too heavy for the stub to support. They
break in storms. Every year.

Eliminates the natural vase-shaped form — the
gorgeous peeling bark, the graceful branching
structure. Gone forever.

Delays blooming by weeks because the tree has to
regrow everything from scratch.

Creates permanent ugly knuckles where the cuts
were made. Year after year of re-topping makes
them worse.

Stresses the tree and opens wound sites for disease
and boring insects.

Why do landscapers do it? Because their customers
think they're supposed to. It's a cycle of ignorance.
"My neighbor does it so I should too."

Your neighbor is wrong.

What CORRECT crepe myrtle pruning looks like:
Remove suckers from the base.
Remove crossing or rubbing branches.
Remove dead wood.
Remove interior branches for airflow.
That's it. NEVER top the main trunks.

If your crepe myrtle is "too big" — you planted the
wrong variety. There are dwarf varieties for small
spaces.

Look at an un-topped crepe myrtle in full bloom.
Then look at a topped one.

The evidence is visual. Stop the murder.
