Pillbugs are eating all my strawberries. Does anyone have advice on how to get rid of them? The strawberries are in a raised planter

Hi, I’m very new to ‘growing my own’ and two days ago I purchased a sizeable Cherry Tomato Tumbler plant from a garden centre. It was potted in a hanging basket. Later that day it looked a bit wilted and Planta said it was water-logged. I did as suggested and set it on some kitchen towel but it was looking worse the next day! Meta AI and Chat GPT said put it in a sink with water as it’s flowering and needs loads of water. It looks terrible. 😢 I personally think the pot may be too small as there appears to be five main stalks going into the soil. Has anyone any experience with this type of tomato that can advise me what to do? 🥴

Do y’all have any tips for me, because I just transplanted my avocado from water to dirt.

Is my summer squash ready to harvest? I’ve usually seen them get longer but this one keeps getting wider so I’m thinking maybe I’m good to harvest now? Finger as reference for size. It is firm. I wouldn’t say no give but not noticeable. Slight orange tinge to it? Not as bright yellow as baby squash

Has anyone shared a post on how to store said fruits and vegetables after clipping them? It'd be awesome to have some knowledge to get everything to last as long as possible in the fridge or etc.

Hi, people! I have another pestering question about (baby) potatoe harvesting. Some potatoes have been dry and crispy for some time but others still look like they’re in their prime. How should I go about harvesting so it’s not too late for some (I’m worried solanine production) but not too early for others?

I have my first raised garden bed for herbs, and I’m wondering for Plantas care schedule, do you categorize a raised bed as a pot or in the ground? Those are the only two options, since there’s no option for raised bed? Looks like watering schedule is different for each. Thanks!!

About to plant my first corn! Right now is the best time to plant it if you live in the DFW area.

Everyone meet Blue! I bought two of dormant bushes. One is for me and one is for my nana for mother’s day! Wish me luck on growing mine! I’m sure my nana’s will thrive. I planted cucumber seeds hoping I can grow those as well. I’m kind of new to edible gardening. I’ve done it before when I was little. Haven’t done it since! Wish me luck!

Update on the indoor salad garden. The spinach has sprouted. So has additional radishes and romaine lettuce. Some look a bit leggy, so I added another grow light.

Should I harvest these potatoes? Hi, people! I planted these potatoes around Feb 15 and they’re looking pretty interesting. Some sources I’ve come across say to harvest 7-8 weeks after planting and others say wait until the foliage is completely brown and dry. Anything helps. Thank you!

Hello, beginner gardener here! I have some fresh padron peppers in my sunny windowsill. Is there anything I need to know prior and how often should I be watering?
