Fertilize mature plants on a monthly basis. Use a general fertilizer.
Ie: flowers are all the plant cares about now.

Maximum20Characters replied to post #3: 5 Foxglove is a biannual. It sometimes lives longer than two seasons but it reseeds itself and then just doesn't come back the last season. The previous years seeds take their place.
First year the seeding matures and you get just a leafy plant unless you've started the seed over the winter. Second year you get flowers -- pick off the deadheads and don't let them got to seed and you'll get a second less robust flowering. If removed will give you second flowering.
Third year same thing, each time it blooms it has the potential to seed itself. The seeds are extremely small and one seed pod can produce hundreds of seeds. I collect the clearly dried seed pods before they burst.
I mix the dried seeds with peat moss and light soil and spread them out so that the new plants don't cluster. You get more plants if more survive. They like a moist soil, good drainage and monthly feedings - they can take a partial sun but not a hot searing sun.
I love foxglove -- some nurseries sell them as perennials because of their propensity to seed themselves. There may be hybrids now that really are true perennials, I don't know. I mix my foxglove with monks hood and impatiens.My foxglove has done very poorly this year due to the high temps and dry weather.
My Delphiniums are completely dead. I did gather seeds and spread for next year but this heat and lack of rain may mean the seedling don't take. I will probably start some new plants from a couple of packets of purchased seed just to be sure to have them next spring.

I transfered bamboo from the ground to pots. All of the leaves have curled on 3 out of 4 of the plants. What do I do?" "Fact or Nutty Crap?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
