Fertilizer Check

From the Wayfarer Tarot, the Seven of Earth; from the Curious Oracle, Dragon (Prosperity):

          This fellow seems to be taking stock of his garden. At first glance, it appears to be growing well as the plants are so tall. But the root system is too small for such a large plant. He needs to do a fertilizer check. Nitrogen is essential for the protein that makes up plant tissue and produces lush leaves (check). Phosphorus is used by a plant to help with photosynthesis, increase fruit development and to produce a strong root system. (Might need to add that.) Potassium strengthens a plant's ability to resist disease, protects the plant when the weather is cold or dry, and strengthens its root system. (Another he might need to add.) Just because things look whole and hearty on the outside, doesn't necessarily mean they are below the surface. A good assessment will consider more than just appearances. The Dragon might suggest a quote from Aristotle: "Learning is an ornament in prosperity, a refuge in adversity, and a provision in old age." While we might be willing to put forth an effort, we need reliable information to guide us in the right direction.
