Can my spicy boy be saved? Started from seeds inside and moved him outside (he was my biggest bestest plant at the time) I have others that I did the exact same process and everything and some of those plants are fruiting now but this guy lost all his leaves and shriveled. I just want to know if I can save him and how.
I planted my Dwarf Meyer Lemon tree about 2 years ago. Was excited this year when I saw about a dozen lemons starting to grow. One day I saw a few were missing. The next day almost all were gone except 3. Came home from work that day and was down to one (1). Realized it had to be squirrels - which I had no clue would be messing with my lemons. I’ve placed a dog fence around her and that seems to do the trick. She doesn’t look completely healthy so I’d like help with keeping her strong. That’s why I’m here.
Hi all! First time grower here 😃 wondering when a good time is to start hulking my Adirondack Potatoes 😊 all help and tips greatly appreciated 🙏🏽
Bought a strawberry plant back in March. It did well at first, even a few small berries, but has just gone stagnant since. I upsized the pot just once, nipped most of the flowers as recommended to encourage growth. I’ve not seen one new bud or even a runner since the first few weeks of having it. Photos 1 and 2 from today and photos 3/4 from when I bought it. Hickory MS 8b
HEY GUYS ITS LILY. You already know what we’re up to!!!! THATS RIGHT: getting some seeds started! LMK your best tips and tricks below! I had the plastic top on for a while, and the carrot sprouts got fuzzy so I took it off! See! Already learning! 🙃🍭🤷♀️
I’ve never seen Basil this big! 🥬
My beans?! ( pole & bush) 😭 The single plant has been in the new pot for maybe 2 weeks now and turned yellow early on. The grouped ones (were already deformed) were just transferred Monday. They were all fine when in the nursery in my garage with limited lighting 😭
So I just got my dream tree, Mauritius lychee(Air-Layered) but… it came with leaf burn not sure how to treat it so I moved the tree to shade and put a bin with some water and some coffee grounds under it but the leaves are droopy not sure what to do it is a full sun plant so does it need more light?
hey guys, this cherry tomato was finally ripe and i was going to pick it today but it has this big slit in it that wasn’t there yesterday:( is this normal for ripe tomatoes or should i have harvested sooner? this is my first tomato plant so im not sure, also wondering if i can still eat it
Apparently it’s not broccoli season (and I don’t have a greenhouse ). I’ll take that mistake but hoped I could keep it healthy until then. Suddenly it looks infested now? My bell pepper plant is doing well but does this look like it’s being eaten at? I know I need to get a cover but this is a whole new world for me. Lots of trial and error which is why I started small. First two pics are broccoli. Third greener pic bell pepper plant. Side note. Tomato and jalapeño plant are doing well at least!
Not to be dramatic or anything but I grew my first strawberry today with more on the way🥹 🍓 It’s not huge or anything but it’s the first time I’ve ever successfully grown a plant and I’m really proud of myself😭
So I have a couple plants I started as seeds in my spare room , I over seeded bc this was my first time and now I got multiple plants growing in one cup , when should I pull em out and separate into separate pots?
These are the first tomatoes I’ve been able to grow from seed…They’re getting so big!
Many plants in my garden have yellowing leaf tips or tops - carrots, onions, celery, cilantro, garlic, and even the wildflowers. Any ideas as to why??
Hey all, This little Roma has been giving me some trouble. I’ve fertilized and no pests seem to be present. Do I need to let him go or do I need to try to move him into his own space? Everything else in the garden is doing fine. He remains unhappy looking/not green. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
Please excuse the little pine tree remnants, but what could have caused this slit in the bottom of my tomatillo plant??
Hello! So for the past 3 years I have had cherry tree problems and realized the Bing cherry needed to cross pollinate. Around 2-3 weeks ago I purchased a Lapin cherry it is definitely around 2 years old and has also put out leaves but no flowers. My bing has flowers and buds but the Lapin doesn’t even have buds. Below is a photo showing the leaves can anyone help me? Also I have a tangerine tree that has not flowered and has discoloration, I keep it inside over the winter (zone 5b) I bring it outside during the day. ANYTHING helps! Thank you!
My *small* attempt at growing carrots in a very shallow and wide pot. I giggle every time I see this photo 😅🥕 pulled them up just in time for Easter as well.
This is a bean plant I grew from seed. The purple spots have been on the first leaves since they sprouted in their nursery pot. The yellow spoting on the stem is new… Any ideas of what’s going on? This is my first time growing beans and food in general.
Hi all! I’m trying my hand at gardening for the first time in a meaningful way. I started my seeds indoors and have now put all the little pots outside. Most of the lil baby sprouts seem to be thriving, but I can tell that they’re starting to outgrow the starter pots I planted them in. I am now terrified to transplant them and would appreciate any advice! I’ve got spinach, carrots, asparagus, San marzanos, beets, green onion, and broccoli. TIA!
