yes, Osmocote plus... 1st time using, but it has 12 essential nutes & is time released for 6 months. I live on a river & we flood (lost a crop to one) & the ground is sand, lots of sand....I mixed up organic potting soil w/sand & let mother nature do her thing....
I think I was a little late in germinating 5-15.... went in the ground 6-15.... but I'm in S.Texas & we dont really get to cold down here.... I kept a plant alive till Dec. last yr (in the ground)
