Q: IF YOU HAD A MAGICAL GARDEN, WHAT WOULD YOU GROW?

Follow-up: What’s your green-thumb trick?

KAREN JONES | Retired | Salinas

A: I would grow good food, like beef stew, steaks and ice cream—preferably butter pecan—so that I can just step outside and grab dinner. That would be delicious and convenient.

Tea Time: Put loose tea or tea bags around your rose bushes. Any tea works, like Lipton, just sprinkle around and add water.

MARIO FURTADO | Landscaper | Salinas

A: If I had a magical garden I would definitely grow some money, because everybody needs more money.

A Little Thirsty: A trick to a beautiful garden is to water either early in the morning or evening, depending on the type of plant. The soil absorbs more water during those times.

DOROTHY GRIFFIN | Retired | Salinas

A: If I had a magical garden I would grow beautiful orchids. I have a difficult time growing them in my own garden. A little magic would help.

It’s a Miracle: It’s important to fertilize your plants every two weeks. Miracle Gro does the trick.
