Came out pretty good and proud as a first timer beginner gardener and working with what I got. PS: I do need some soil mixture recommendations PLEASE, with quantities and measurements if you know them off the top of your head.

Hey! So Iāve decided I want to begin pot growing tomatos but I wasnāt expecting for so many of the seeds to actually germinate. Iām going to repot some of the seedlings and pluck others out from their roots. How many seedlings should I leave in the pot to grow? Itās an 8ā plastic pot with drainage holes if that matters

Took some green/soft cuttings from my big peach tree, mixed citrus soil and perlite, added rooting hormone. First time I do this Iām not even sure if itāll work out but I hope so! Any tips?

My little herb (& tomato) planter is not doing too good. A few days ago I noticed white mold (?) growing in the dirt. My oregano looks to be killed off and my basil leaves are beginning to wilt too. Any thoughts on what I should do? I did spray some organic cold pressed neem oil on the molded areas yesterday.

Has anyone been able to grow saffron? I love cooking with saffron and itās so expensive! Itās a Mediterranean plant. Is it possible to grow some in Florida? (Iām not that good at gardening, fyi)

New to gardening. I have a sweet pepper plant and cucumbers growing. They both are about 5-6 inches and over an inch wide. My question is how do I know when they are ready to picked?

Hi, I am growing indoor cilantro and I see these prominent yellow spots on the leaves. I started using neem oil about a month back thinking the plant was infected, but I see no improvement. I also recently noticed a web that runs between some leaves. Any help here is highly appreciated. Thank you!

Howdy, There is an abundance of wild blackberry bushes in our neighbourhood and we have a rooftop planter that is just waiting for something to be planted. Anyone have experience or tips on how I can propagate blackberries from the neighbourhood to my roof? Thanks!

hey yāall! just wanting some advice on my basil. Iāve had a plant before and it thrived but this one is not looking too hot. Some leaves are getting wilty on the edges and some just donāt come out or they just die immediately. any ideas whatās happening? itās in a south facing window sill and I water every other day. (just to keep the soil moist) TIA!

My jalapeƱo plant (Joe) was struggling with a severe aphid infestation. I got him from Loweās and he was already covered with maturing peppers. Once I identified the aphids, I was spraying him with water every day. The aphids did not go away. Next I tried dish soap and water. They did not go away! Then, I tried water and vinegar, stunted the growth of the pepper, and ultimately killed poor Joe! He STILL had some aphids that hatched after the vinegar so I just was so annoyed I squished them with my fingers. Next thing I knew, he was a twig in the shape of a Y. I kept watering him for I was very hopeful to someday use fresh jalapeƱos in my cooking. About a month and a half later, he made minuscule leaves! Now, he is full grown again and has a pepper! The picture below is it today. He is now only dealing with minor dehydration, which is easy to fix. (In the pic you can see my favorite plant: a kalanchoe named Spike and my hydroponic mint sprout named Jolene).

What a summer! Rain rain rain! It triggered massive growth in the gardens. I planted 600 corn seeds in a small 15x5 pit. Cut back 50 as they reached 6ā. Cut back another 50 a week later. Ended up keeping 400 stalks. Worried the corn would be small and underdeveloped but my worries have been relieved. THIS IS THE SWEETEST CORN! Small tender tasting beautifully pollinated ears. Patting myself on the back for this one! Also donāt let anyone tell you crowded gardens are bad. Nonsense. Hereās to a real corn harvest!

Beautiful baby kumquats! My tree is tiny, but making a good effort. They should be ready in November.
