Hey! When you're writing about asters I have to ask you a question. Do you use any fertilizers for them? I have bought dozens of asters packages on https://gardenseedsmarket.com/?subcats=Y&pcode_from_q=Y&pshort=Y&pfull=Y&pname=Y&pkeywords=Y&search_performed=Y&search_id=&search_id=&q=aster&dispatch=products.search in many different colors. I have hope for big crops next year and I'd like to prepare as good as I can.If you have any other tips which can help me I'm opened!
