So I germinated some seeds in paper towels and they started sprouting so I’m wanting to plant them. I wasn’t sure if I still should put them in seed starter or if I could just put them in potting soil. I bought some bigger starter pots hoping that I could plant them in them and they could stay in them until it was time to put them in my garden.
Had an onion sprout in my fridge and decided to try to grow it. Which may have not been the best idea since I pretty much kill any plant I come into contact with. But he's lasted a lot longer than I thought, so maybe this isnt going horribly, but I have no idea what to do about this new development.
Would sod take root if I dug out all these rocks at least as deep as shown in my picture?
When I disturbed the soul a bunch of tiny bugs would fly around, just not sure what is it or how to get rid of/prevent it. Thankfully thos grow bag was alone and far from anything else. Any insight would be appreciated to prevent this from happening to my next batch! As a note I am in the DC area, USA
Hello! I have a nearly two year old Meyer lemon tree that hasn't produced any fruit yet. It's in a South-East-facing window and gets a decent amount of sun. For the first year I was really excited because it grew super fast, but I ended up cutting off the top couple feet in hopes that it would branch more (it was 6 1/2 feet tall). I'm really hoping for lemons this year! Any suggestions? I got this stuff called Jack's Citrus FeED, maybe it'll help?
TL;DR in google images I see tiny Meyer lemon trees covered with fruit, mine is getting big and isn't doing that, I must be doing something wrong! Maybe it just takes time :)
I'm on the fence whether I like it or not, but overall I just don't know what to do with it? Should I have cut it down last fall! Cut it now? The critters seem to like hiding in it.
I have some bare canna tubers that I stored in my basement over winter and I'd like to get them back in the ground as early as is beneficial to them. I'm in zone 7a and our last frost is often around the middle of May. It gets plenty warm before then though so I'm wondering if it will help them get growing sooner if I plant them well ahead of last frost.
Just built these 3 raised vegetable beds. Filled with 2.5 cubic yards of organic leaf compost from garden center mixed with 4 cubic feet of vermiculite. Plan to grow tomatoes, carrots, cucumbers, beets, spinach, jalapeños. Growing zone 8a.
What else do I need to add to the spoil to optimize growing conditions for the veggies? Thx!
What do yall recommend? I also heard strawberry pots are very good to make companion plants and herbs work together
Hey newbie gardener here just got this soil from my dad’s property but it smells like poop which leads me to believe it’s lacking proper drainage any ideas how to fix this for cheap/free my gardens already drained my pockets dry this year. Living in 7b so I’d like to be able to use them in a few weeks to a month.
Where are the nodes that I should cut at to propagate this monstera?
Are tree leaves toxic as compost? We have mostly maple leaves, a few pecan leaves, scattered around the lawn. I use grass clippings as a soil amendment in our gummy, clay soil. This year the leaves are particularly heavy, and I feel like I heard somewhere way back in time that certain oak leaves can be bad as compost, being toxic to some plants. Do y'all know anything about that?
I live alone, and was wondering is 10 Blueberry Bushes too much for one person to have. I planted 7 last year, and 3 new ones yesterday. I just love Gardening! Still have ample room in my back yard and I’m not planning to add anything else. I have 3 potted blackberry plants in the back as well! I added 2 pictures of my whole backyard to show how much space I have. I’m just wondering years down the road if this will be too many as well. I tried to add pics on post but I put them as a reply down low,bc it wouldn’t let me post them. Thanks!
