UNLESS it has only a months life span. Do not like to fertilize late in
season and stimulate new growth and have an early frost possibly hit. Maybe
you CAN do it in Indy, but not in New England >>

Barb and others who have the same concern:
Please take a gander at the information on the box/jar/sack. Osmocote is not
effective if the soil temp is less than 70 degrees F. So, nothing to worry
about here in Indy and especially in New England.
Indeed, I continue to use a high nitrogen foliar until September---in fact, I
have done so until mid-September---with no ill effects.
