Hello!
I want to put a garden in my rooftop
First I'd like to start with colorful plants that are resilient and easy to main, then, I could move to plants that are harder to do
Second, at some point I'd like to have trees, although these would've to be light ones, because well, they're going to be on the roof
Then I'd like to plant something that gives food, maybe grapes or something like that, it could be on the trees as well
I live in Jalisco, so, right now it's slightly cold, but it also gets hot, right now I've not much in my roof to protect the plants, in the future I might have another roof and "walls", but right now there's only a small fence
I appreciate all the help that could be given
Some of the plants I'd like are
Jasmines, roses, bougainvilleas
Do you think those could work?
What could you suggest?
I’m not sure how she does it lol
Hi all! I'm a new gardener in Phoenix, Arizona. I have a raised bed with that raised bed soil from Home Depot. Should I add any additives, plant food, etc.?
Thank you!
Mentioned I wanted to try and grow sweet peas at some point. Today I got six pots of sweet peas already started, growing on their own mini trellises. Nice!
Does it fully degenerate to give energy to the new plant and the new plant then makes a new bulb? Does it remain as its own clove and make new cloves around it? Does the initial clove just enlarge and create septa within itself to make the distinct new cloves? I was wondering about this since whole garlic bulbs don't have soil inside them, which I would expect if the original clove still remained since it is touching the soil without its skin.
Sugarbaby variety and about the size of a small grapefruit at this point. Tendril looks dry but when you thump it, it sounds hollow.
I've been patiently waiting for my tomato seeds to germinate, and was thinking last night how nice it would be if they finally sprouted on Christmas morning. I was pleasantly surprised this morning to see that almost all of them did.
Merry Christmas everyone!!!
We killed our lawn over this past year with a layer of clean brown cardboard. We've since scraped up the muddy, moldy, leafy, slimy mess and now have it all waiting for disposal. But! We're planning on putting up some 2 foot deep raised beds and need filler to go beneath the soil. Would a foot or so of old cardboard mulch be any good for this purpose?
I've heard that cardboard decomposition can remove nitrogen from raised beds but this stuff is already pretty far along so I was hoping that might not be as much of an issue. We have a (probably literal) ton of it just sitting around so making use of it rather than hauling it to the dump would be nice. Is there anything we could mix in (in addition to the wood and leaves we already have) to make it a better substrate?
“LEMONtrè” is shedding leaves after starting to fruit. Any advice? Tree is two years old and faces the west window.
These three are evading me (seeds, not starters):
Mexican flame vine
Pink jasmine (jasminium polyanthum, not officinale)
Red hibiscus (rosa-sinensis, not other species)
The only one I found was hibiscus from a rando on ebay. Not a lot of confidence. Any help? Thank you. I'm in the US.
Edit: pictures of these plants in the comments.
I’ve been growing my mango tree for about a year now and after the most recent cold snap in Florida it started shedding all of its leaves. It has new growth on all the branches but the existing leaves are turning brown and falling off. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi!
I live in the south of Europe and I would like to grow some date palms.
Due to the lack of suitable hot here, I would like to know what varieties ripen early. Raining season begins early october here and hardly ever rain from may to october.
I have read that Medjool, Halawi and Kadrawi but I am not sure.
Could you help me, please?
Thanks in advance!
Just read an article on a sheep rancher selling wool pellets to add to compost and soil to help retain moisture. Have you heard of this?
We need all the help, we've had this plant since 2020 it has given like 3 flowers, we are at a loss on why snails only it this plant, all others are unharmed. We put a blue snail poison under it to try and protect it
I have been gifted a fish tank that they no longer took care of. The water is high in nitrates and has to be drained a little bit every week. Is anybody here using that water in a flower bed? It should be fine but I don't want to burn my plants out front. What are your thoughts?
Is it root bound? Came from a plant dish with several other plants
