Hello everyone! I bought my first house so it’ll be my first time starting a garden. I want to do all the things! I just cleared out this little patch I have in my front yard today, so the imagine the picture without the bushes. What plants should I use? I want colorful flowers and I want to keep mosquitoes away. Also, while clearing out the area I found so many pests. What are some good pesticides that are safe for the garden?

Hello, I’m looking for recommendations for plants which would do well in a shaded border. Based in Scotland. So far I have purchased; - Hostas - Carex - Vinca - Primula - Foxgloves/Digitalis Many thanks 🌺
First time winter sowing. I’m in NE Ohio. So far I have broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, spinach, and onions growing. Time to get the raised beds ready for spring!!!
My tomato and flower seeds start but are always spindly. I bought special seed starting pods with their own led grow lights and a heating pad. The seeds start super fast. But they are spindly. I have turned off the heating pad. Put by window. And turned off grow lights. No change. I used quality soil. Any suggestions are welcome.
Chives survived the brutal Chicago winter 💪🏼
I got this Chinese palm a few months ago. And the leafs are starting to turn brown. I feel like I’m following the watering schedule, but not sure what I’m doing wrong. Amateur here.
To get seeds from radishes, can you have just one plant or do you need two?
First time gardener, first flowers (strawberry). Tucson is having a heatwave and I’m worried they are scorching my flowers. Can I have confirmation? Planta says too much light, but I think it’s heat. It gets shade around 1:30 in my area. Please give me your wisdom 😭
I’m new to gardening and started my plants indoor. I noticed this today with my cucumbers… should I be concerned? Any help/feedback would be appreciated.

I am trying to grow some popcorn corn out of a popcorn bag. Can you eat corn that comes from it or will it have problems. Are there other problems I need to know? I know they might have problems with germination,
Hi all, I bought this in January this year And it still looks the same It’s supposed to be a rosebush Is this dead or do I need to be more patient? Hope you can help!
Just got a jalapeño plant and beefsteak tomato plant at the store today! I just added it to my app. I’m unsure when they were watered last. Planta is telling me to water them. I have a moisture meter and it says the soil is dry but it feels damp. Should I still water? We added a bamboo stick and a bread tie to help support the tomato plant because she was leaning big time, is this okay? Also, any recommendations for these plants would be super helpful! I’ve never grown vegetables before and I’m hoping to be successful!!! 🖤
I’m in Tucson and I’m just learning. My husband made me this set up! It was originally against the wall to the right but my plants in the bed were getting fried. Now I placed them against this fence. I am facing west in this picture. Is this a bad spot?🥺 I have Zucchini, Crookneck Squash, Broccoli, and in the bed there’s 2 bell pepper plants and 2 strawberry plants. I panicked because I saw my leaves in the broccoli and squash look sad (I’m not typically home during this time of day). I watered the squash because I didn’t last night, but it was high noon, did I mess them up?😱 I moved my broccoli into the shade casted by the bed.
Hellebore help: I was gifted a hellebore plant and I’d like to keep it until I can plant it outside. I live in Central Indiana, so we probably still have at least another month of possible, freezing nights. How do I keep it alive indoors until I can plant it outside? It is not thriving.
I’m new to growing Aloe, how do I know when it’s time to repot it?
I bought 4 of these for my outdoor garden against my house! I am new to outdoor gardening as I have only ever been an indoor plant kind of gal but I am branching out this year! 🤣 curious if anyone has had any of these? And any advice on if I will be able to keep them alive here? For reference I live in Oklahoma!
