Does anybody know where to get a female honey berry? I have a male but can't seem to find a female

We purchased our home 3 years ago, which has a decent sized yard, and it came with many established beds. Some are herbs, most are considered edible or medicinal in some fashion, and only a few plants are poisonous. However, one of the beds is a raspberry patch that is roughly 40 feet long and 3 feet deep, running along a privacy fence. I do not know if the combination was planted intentionally, but that patch consists of well-established raspberries and well-established stinging nettle. Granted, even the stinging nettle has its uses but it makes harvesting The raspberries difficult. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make this task easier, and thus less itchy? Is there any way to eradicate the stinging nettle without also harming the raspberries? Last year we pulled all the stinging nettle prior to berry harvest but that is time consuming and uncomfortable. Thanks in advance.

Hello! Can anyone give me some advice on ferns? I live in zone 9 in the US and it’s time to hang my ferns on my front porch. In the past I’ve gifted my old ones when the season is over and they’ve outgrown the pots and by new ones in the spring. This year I have over wintered them myself and want to repot. So, can anyone suggest what type of pot to plant these in, keeping in mind they need to be upsized from their original pot (I am guessing a 1gal)? The coco coir liners and metal frame hang-ups seem ideal but I’m striking out in finding some bigger and deeper than these. Also, I need a good fertilizing solution. They are very green in the spring but turn yellow as the hot summer months drag on. They are on a covered porch and hooked up to an automatic drip. Thanks in advance!

This is one of my very first times having tomatoes, I've already lost two, how do I fix this? I do everything the Internet says but nothing's working. Any suggestions would be great.

HELP! I have just repotted a BUNCH (like probably 20) of my sprouts into bigger pots. A mix of things- Cinderella pumpkin, cherry tomatoes, beans, carrots… I noticed when I was done that two of the pots had what I believe to be Fungus Gnat larvae milling about on the top soil… IM DEVASTATED! Those two pots are quarantined to another area. I have never had to deal with this problem.. which I’m assuming came from the bag of soil I used. (Only those last two pots got the soil from that bag) I haven’t watered anything yet luckily so I’ve read I can use a hydrogen peroxide solution to get rid of the larvae, is this true?? Does it work? Is there a better way to get rid of them?? Will it harm my little baby veggie dudes? Plants are about 1-2.5 inches tall in 6-8inch pots, indoor with grow lights!

I’m very surprised my tomato seedlings sprouted within 6 days! I wasn’t expecting much since this is my first time starting seeds lol.

Any suggestions on what type of equipment would be needed to get these flower beds down to just dirt? Theres mint, gravel, weed fabric, grass and other various things growing. And the flower bed is right up to the house (brick in photo is house) which may add another challenge. The bed is about 4 ft from house and 12 feet long.

I started some seedling outside this past weekend is it a good time to sow tomatoes yet in zone 9B?

Question. So I have some perennials in pots outside (NC). I haven’t watered them in a couple weeks. I’m going back and forth about watering them lol. We just had a big snow/ice storm the other day (I covered and insulated them in frost cloths for that and they are still on right now). One of the pots has no leaves since it went dormant, and the other ones are still green just not blooming. Should I water any of them and take off the frost cloths off of any of them? Here’s the weather forecast for my area

I inherited this plant in my garden when I brought the property, I found it smothered under other plants and weeds and planted it in another part of the flower bed to give it time to come back, it doesn't seem to be recovering as much as I would have liked, any recommendations?

Hey there, starting to think about planning out my garden space and thought I would join this group, I've seen people mentioning about zones, how do I find out what location each of these zones referres to?

Hello! I was wondering what people in zones 1a to 7a are doing at this time of year (December- January). I personally have my room full of sprouting plants. But, what do you guys do?

I have a lemon and lime tree that I had brought in for the winter a while ago. They seemed to be doing well, but lately the lemon tree has been dropping leaves, and when I came home from being gone a couple days the lemon had dropped a lot of leaves and looks really droopy. Is it not enough water? I cut down on watering because they’re supposed to be dormant for winter and Planta is suggesting water pretty infrequently. I’ve been doing about a cup or 2 of water each watering (Planta tells me to water a couple of weeks apart). Is this able to save?? What can I do? 😢
