Hi! I’m in the PNW and have a 24’ x 50’ backyard that’s on a 15* slope angling down and away from the house. It’s mostly in the shade, and currently under attack by blackberry vines. Anyone have thoughts for good plants to stabilize the sandy soil and make local critters happy? Thanks!

Hi everyone. Recently I went to my dad’s garden, and it is extremely covered with weeds. Is there a quick way to get rid of the weeds without damaging any of the other plants, maybe over the winter?
Hey y’all so I got snap dragon seeds, but how exactly do I go about germinating them? I don’t know what to do after I plant. Do I water it extra because it’s still a seedling, or stick to the schedule?
Can someone tell me what this is. My parents planted veggies a little while ago and I could’ve sworn this is kale, is it?

Hello everyone!! I have two sets of 14W led grow lights, will this be enough lighting or is it enough watts all together for germination? I’ve planted some kale, carrots, beets, cucumber, peppers, and onions. I want to start them off indoors. Is this fine? Any tips/feedback would be helpful!!😁

Hello, this is one of my first posts. Does anyone have recipes for a copious amount of figs? Our tree has produced its largest amount ever this year, with probably another 10 pounds worth on the tree still. This is around 8-10 pounds that we already have and we need to act fast since they will go bad within 1-3 days due to the ripeness. Edit: Not sure why the picture is cutting off… but you should get the idea.
Hi everyone, I am a new planter and about a month or two ago, I decided to plant a garden. I have planted basil, cherry tomatoes, rosemary, parsley, green onions, cucumber, gypsy sweet peppers, lunchbox orange peppers, zucchini, and jalapeño hot peppers. For some reason a couple of them seem to not be producing any vegetables, and they are getting yellowish tips. I will attach pictures if you have any advice and or tips about what I should be doing and what I’m doing wrong please let me know! I’m seriously desperate at this point!
Hello! I do not see an option when entering plants for my yard. It looks like all options are for potted plants. I’m new here, am I missing something? Thanks!
No blackberries but it’s still pretty.
I only have 2 green peppers 😢. When should I pick them?
