Where should I pinch my snapdragons?

Where should I pinch my snapdragons?

New to growing flowers and I just found out I was supposed to pinch these snapdragons which have been growing frustratingly slow. Is there a specific spot I should pinch at?

Does this tuber have an eye?

I’ve been trying to wake up this Cornell Bronze with no success, and now I’m wondering if it even has an eye or if there is anything I could be doing differently!

First time growing dahlias in zone 6a and I’ve gotten some weak growth on this tuber. Was wondering if it would be better for me to pinch it and where I should do so?

My first time growing dahlias and I decided to try the Ziploc method. Initially excited when I saw growth, but I’m beginning to wonder if this is actually gall! Would appreciate any insight and suggestions on what to do next

Please ignore my poorly weeded garden but I planned these ranunculus out after pre-sprouting them indoors. It’s my first time trying to grow this beautiful flower and I know they can be notoriously difficult.

They were steadily growing when indoors but now they have become floppy and growth progress has stalled. The weather in Chicago has been fluctuating significantly but the coming weeks are cooler which I feel should be more ideal. Is there anything else I should be doing?
