What a summer. My corn experiment of 400 plants per 150sqft worked! They were jammed in and did just fine.
Can’t wait to see what I can push next year. Grow plants close! They seem to like each other! This is the 20th or so of these experiments I’ve ran. Tomatoes potatoes raspberry pumpkins strawberries corn sunflowers….They all loved each others company.

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 get the idea.

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 I’ve decided I want to begin pot growing tomatos but I wasn’t expecting for so many of the seeds to actually germinate. I’m 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? It’s an 8” 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 I’m not even sure if it’ll 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.

Does my zucchini look healthy? Any tips on how to keep it good and alive?! I’m not 100% why it looks knocked over , but it’s standing straight up.

Has anyone been able to grow saffron?
I love cooking with saffron and it’s so expensive! It’s a Mediterranean plant.
Is it possible to grow some in Florida?
(I’m 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?

Can someone help me? My cilantro was planted about 2 weeks ago and yet their is still no germination. I water it every time the apps says so and it’s right up near a window. I don’t know what’s wrong.
Good News ITS GROWING

Hi guys I’m new to growing and exploring and I wanted to start by taking care and loving 🪴
My job gave me this plant almost a month ago. The first picture is when I first received her and second one is a picture from today. I don’t know nothing about taking care of her and little bugs are growing on her, I tried to remove them but they come back… I don’t take her outside I leave her inside because I don’t want someone to take her or damage her. Any help would be great I’m open to learn 🫡

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!
