I just joined and am thinking this isn’t right app for me, are there options for outdoor in ground shrubs gardens?

Any advice for an olive tree in a pot on a balcony? Starting to think about my winter plan - I’m in Nashville and it should be ok outside in my zone down to 23 degrees according to Planta. But I’m debating either moving it to a protected corner outside on the balcony and wrapping the base with blankets on cold nights, or bringing in for December and January (I don’t want to overwinter). Has anyone ever used one of those disposable shipping heating pads wrapped in a blanket around the pot on a cold night? PS I bought this online because I had a gift card and couldn’t believe how well they packed it to ship!!!

I found this plant growing out of an opening in the concrete behind my workplace and decided to bring it home and plant it. The first picture is the day I replanted and the second is what it now looks like. I love it!

Hello, I live in WA zone 8B and have a Southeast facing deck. I struggled last year with keeping plants alive in the heat. Any suggestions for flowering plants that will love heat, a lot of sun and don’t mind being in containers? Would a rose live? I know lavender and rosemary will be good but what about flowers?

I bought this strawberry plant a few days ago and after repotting it I noticed a rubber band holding about 8 crowns together. Do I leave as is or separate them all? First time planting strawberries!

Looking for ideas to keep chipmunks out of my garden. I just planted flowers yesterday and they were all dug up today!

Any tips for keeping cats out of garden beds? I keep finding evidence of them using my cucumbers as a litter box 😭

Help not sure if this is powdery mildew but it’s not looking good!

Anyone knows what’s going on with this one? It’s planted in soil marked as “blueberry and Rhododendron soil”? 😅

I’ve put a lot of time and love into our little secret garden and I couldn’t be happier! Just transferred my wildflower seedlings to their new home and am excited to give some love to the bees 🐝

More than fifteen years ago my mom and I planted these Calla Lily bulbs and they’ve bloomed once again! 😌

My strawberries are dying help! I feel like I’ve tried everything.

Finally! My tulips are flowering. It took so long this spring. Anyone else growing tulips?

One month between the photos! The basil is literally exploding. I guess I’m gonna have to make a lot of pesto this year. Do you have any recipes containing basil? 🌿

Start my first outdoor garden since moving to Oklahoma. I’m little for now. Hoping I’m time make it to park.

Can’t wait to see what Planta grows into for me with my pallet garden.
