Last night I decided to give some miracle-gro to my veggie garden because I could tell my squash weren't getting enough nutrients. So, I mixed it according to the directions, one tablespoon per gallon of water. I made several batches and eventually had watered the entire garden. Well, I then noticed that the box said it was Miracle-Gro BLOOM BOOSTER! Meant for flowers, not veggie plants. I don't see any negative effects, so I'm just wondering, is this stuff going to kill my garden? Does it matter if I use flower food or veggie food? Just curious...you guys rock!

no, it won't kill your garden, but i'd give the garden an extra watering...

I'm in the Brownsville area of Pensacola....not a very good neighborhood to be in, but, oh well.

On vegetables you need a flower to grow a
squash, so that stuff is okay..
I wouldn't always go too heavy on it, and
try it half strength.. then you won't over stimulate...
where the middle number is higher????
What other "vegetables" did you use it on??????
****I would say something like a lettuce or beets you wouldn't want to use it on, cause it causes the veggie to "bolt" and produce a flower and make seeds****

Not ideal for a veggie garden, but it won't hurt anything.
