I’m new to gardening and i have a line of boxwood trees along the drive way and I believe due to neglecting it and harsh winter it has started to die. As you can see in the picture the front of the line is pretty much dead and towards the end it’s still green. I don’t know what to do and how to save it(if I can). I put mulch at the roots as well as pruned some of the dead heads but don’t have experience with fertilizers or anything else.
So we just moved into a new place and just today we planted our tomatoes, some herbs, etc. on the garden bed.
After a while, we just saw some rats coming along the garden bed and running along the patio. We didn’t know about this before buying the house.
Is there anything we could do to keep our crops without these rats eating at it?? The cayenne pepper thing does not seem to be working.
TIA.
I am currently putting most of my plants/flowers this year in pots.
I recall last year using miracle grow potting mix, and it seemed like water either didn’t absorb well because it sat in the top for a while, or it didn’t drain well?
Is this how this soil is supposed to work?
If feels like a silly question but I honestly have no idea

Curious if anyone on here has considered automating their lawncare?
I recently got a robotic lawnmower (Husqvarna Automower) and it’s changed my life. Lawn looks amazing and I don’t do anything other than trim edges a bit every few weeks.
Anyone else considered these? Curious what others feedback has been? LMK if you have questions on mine :)
Hi all. Looking to plant a bunch of native plants here in southern ontario. I had a question about these random plants I currently have. Are they native? Id feel bad to rip them out if they are native. If they arent I will gladly take them out and replace them with some natives.
Thank you.
Hello! I hope this is the right place to post… I’d like to build two arrangements for pots flanking my front door, on my covered front porch. The porch faces south and the planters are pretty much entirely in shade all day. Is this a pipe dream, or are there plants/flowers that would be happy enough in that situation? I am NOT a gardener (yet—trying to learn!) but a Google search tells me begonias might be an option…? Ideally I’d like to use native flora, or at least non-invasive. And I’d like to have a few different plants in the pot, rather than one single plant, if possible! So I guess I’m also looking for plants that won’t choke each other out or just generally not get along in the same soil. I was planning to do annuals but if perennials make more sense for whatever reason, I can do those, too. I appreciate any insight that you experts can offer!
New to Ontario, seeing this pop up all over my garden - what plant is this? Googling has failed me 😅
Google tells me this is an invasive plant in Ontario. Should I remove it and how do I safely do that?
All week it was supposed to be low of 10°… woke up to 4° with all my seedlings outside and 30 of them in their final pots.
Hopefully it doesn’t stunt them too much 🤞🤞🤞
Thank you. I'd be very grateful for your insight and/or ideas. I am not committed to oak sage. I just want my lawn to look OK from the road.
And will continuous pulling be enough to remove it?
Эти вредители практически сьели мой цветок.
Hello, I'm new here 👋 and definitely a beginner in the garden.
I've recently been extending an old flower bed and this spring my tulips are struggling bad in the front yard, only a few bloomed and they are small, but this week each tulip over about an 8 feet spread has this growing in/around it.
Google lens gave me differing opinions so I thought I'd ask here in case anyone knows?
Thanks!
Edit thanks for all your responses, also 🤦♂️🤣.
As is tradition, I spent the May Long Weekend planting out my garden. I do mostly container gardening on my back patio. Every year I reuse the soil in my containers, but I sift it out, add fresh amendments, and usually cut it with some more potting soil.
I planted out 14 San Marzano Tomatoes, 2 Beefsteak tomatoes, 2 Moskvich tomatoes, 2 green bell peppers, 2 yellow shepherd peppers, and 2 red shepherd peppers. My peppers even got little peppers on them!
Waiting to be planted is red and yellow watermelon, zucchini, corn, beans, and cucumber. I'll also start carrots for fall, but not until mid July.
Please ask any questions as I love to talk anything gardening lol.
Hello all! I have this Bok Choy growing on my balcony. I'm just wondering at what point I can start harvesting the leaves. And the proper way to harvest so it can keep growing for a bit. TIA
Zone 2. A bunch of my seeds either didnt take or have died off in their pots. What can I plant now to fill that space in the garden?
A bunch of my clay and pottery large size pots cracked and broke during the winter
I don’t have shed for them - how do I protect them in the winter?
Do I have to empty the soil out? Put them upside down?
