This is the result of just throw out scraps and not really trying to garden fruit and veggies. I love plants I have lots of them but garden is not my strong suit but I’m proud that I’ve kept them alive 🥹

I planted “Siam Tulips” last year. A few resprouted this year, but the house painter trampled most of them😡 this lonely 1 is blooming beautifully!

I rethinking one of my garden spaces. I’m considering purchasing some galvanized metal raised beds. I would love some pros and cons from people who have used them. Thanks in advance for your expertise. The picture is from one of my current straw bale planting areas.

I’ve got some window boxes that are in constant shade, any suggestions as to what to plant? I’m thinking a fern and some sort of draping flower

What would cause my succulents in my yard to grow upward and tall while others remain flat?

Is there a way for me to mark all of my outdoor plants as Rained? I have several outdoor locations. So they aren’t all in one group. Right now I have to mark each outdoor location as having rained. Just looking for a quicker way.

We are thinking about getting some hanging baskets for our fence in the garden. We would love some trailing plants/flowers, any recommendations?

I noticed that my Mandevilla plant is becoming tangled. 🪢There are several poles in the soil for the plant grow on, but they’ve grown beyond the length of the pole. Should I add a much longer poles to facilitate their growth or is it typical that they will eventually become tangled.? 🤔

Hi friends! Can someone give me advice please… I have these two zucchini plants and I really want them to grow over the side of the planter. When I planted them I tried to angle them and currently I have some trellis pushing them against the sides. But it isn’t really working and some zucchinis have started to grow smushed against the side. Any help on how to get the main stem to grow over would be much appreciated!! Thank you!
