Normally I would think these trees wouldn’t have enough chill hours to make flowers and would wake up quickly, but this year I’m having a weird problem. I have a Montmerency sour cherry and Carmine cherry tree that still haven’t woken up. Both are in containers and are two years old. Before winter, the Carmine one looked perfectly fine but the Montmerency showed some signs of heat stress. Is there a chance they’ll wake up, are they dead, or could they possibly wake up next year? I have a Nectarine tree next to it in a container that had no problems waking up from the winter.

It appears to be growing out from underneath the neighbours side of the fence

I have a few bare root hollyhocks that sprouted in transit. Will it damage the plant if I trim them back? The instructions did say to do so but I'm nervous that they won't bounce back if I do that.

Thanks in advance!

Is it ok to plant a Bottle Brush Tree in the plastic pot and cut the bottom out? My neighbor said it's OK because it will make the roots go deeper...Is it safe for the tree long term??

How do I know when my yellow onions are ready to harvest?

I've seen some people say to cut back or trim the tops that stick out the ground, and are they edible?

How can I reduce the Blossom End Rot on my roma tomatoes?

I am growing a couple plants for the first time and I could really use a bit of help. I'm in a very tropical area, and all of my vegetables came from seeds and were planted about 4 months ago.

First off, sorry if this isn’t allowed and against the subs rules.

I’m looking for a monthly subscription for new plants/seeds. My preference would be plants/seeds that are native to my area zone. FWIW, I’m in California zone 9b.

There are 6500+ native plants in California and choosing what to grow can be difficult so having someone choose for me would be great.

I’ve done a little searching but haven’t found much so if you have any suggestions I’d be thrilled to hear what you have. Thanks!

I have a perennial growing and I’m not sure what the plant type is - I took a couple pictures and entered it into a few different plant apps but I got three different identifications. Can anyone please id (and if you could let me know the differences if this is an obvious question, that’d be great!) I’m in 7b if that helps for blooming time info.

Hi I’m going to setup two or three raised garden beds. Going to be using metal stock tanks that are 2’x2’x6’. Any idea how many holes and what size they need to be for drainage? And should I add a few inches of gravel to the bottom, or place the tanks on blocks, I see conflicting advice online.

Thanks!

This could be a stupid question but here goes.

I want to clean up the tools in the shed at my community garden. They clearly see a lot of use and less maintenance. Lots of things could stand to be sharpened, oiled, etc. Is there any reason I should be careful about what products I use to do this, or anything I should avoid? Like if I use barkeeper’s friend on all the rusty shovels will digging with them then violate any principles of organic gardening or throw off the PH of the soil or anything? Obviously I’d do all this away from any of the plots and dispose of waste carefully. I suppose I could be extremely careful and use things like lemon juice, baking soda, vegetable oil etc.

Hello fellow Gardeners!

In the interest in not self-promoting etc I'll keep this brief. I'm looking for respected Gardening related, US based, 'influencers' to partner with (ie. equity share in the business) for an upcoming launch.

Please reach out direct if it's something that you may be interested in hearing more about :-)

TIA.

They’re seedlings planted in the same contianers I used last year with a bit of new soil, but they were left outside during the winter. We’ve also had a bit of a cold spring, but I brought inside for the coldes nights

This was my first time watering in the sun. Even when I was growing it indoors the leaves were curling. I hardened it off and planted it outside and I'm noticing more and more yellowing of the leaves, curling, and brown spots appearing. I'm not sure why this is happening because I fertilized them with Dr eath and they've been out since the beginning of April. Maybe they're getting too cold?? Unsure and any advice helps!!
