White powdered balls on my hedges
Does anyone know what these are? They’re very small, white, powdery when I wipe them away. I hosed down the hedges last night thinking that would wash them away, but there’s more today or the water didn’t work at all. We have a ton of house flies around, but these don’t look like little grains of rice like fly larvae
Cucumber seedling help!
Does anyone know what could be happening to my cucumber seedlings? The leave randomly just started shriveling up. They’ve been hardened so not sure what’s happening.
Are these bugs harmful?
I find these bugs everywhere in my garden, are they harmful to plants ?
If you live in wa state near Covington you can have my JM tree babies that go naturally in my yard.
I already have too many Japanese maples and these grow wild in my yard. Free, just bring your own bucket. PM me if interested
Why oh why is my holly tree dying?
Plenty of sun, watering every so often. It looks like the higher central branches are dying first and the lower branches are so far fine.
I've not got a green appendage in my body, please help!
Rose Rosette finally got me.
I can cope with the Knockouts, but my beautiful vines are showing symptoms and I am distraught and disgusted with myself for not taking action last summer. When symptoms first appeared on the knockouts, I didnt really know what the disease was and thought maybe Rose Rosette wasnt what they had. I was wrong and now its spread. Will be saying goodbye to these beauty's soon and it makes me so sad. Every single rose I have is dying.
Aquilegia bed that started off as a spring bulbs bed but nature took over as it does! Lovely to sit and watch the bees in and out of the flowers..

New to this
Hello! I recently bought a house and have a wonderful garden that I am starting. I wanted to ease into it so I bought some hanging baskets (as I have zero experience tending to flowers) and I fear one of them is already dying. It’s a sun impatien. Bright pink but after being home for 3 days most of the flower petals are greyish and look funky. I’ve been watering them and they are in mostly sun on my porch but do get shade until about noon. Any insights into what the grey gunk is? Is it dying already?

First maize of the season
I grow TX landrace flint/flour corn. My kid asked me to grow pink this year. It’s so fun. This is maize for hominy, grits, pozole, tortillas, cornmeal. I understand why native peoples incorporated maize into their religion- No other food ( especially grain) is so stunning and in such variety. Who knows why colonists stuck with yellow and white. So boring..
Is my peach tree dead?
Last year the world was not kind to my peach tree saplings. I was worried they both would die. One seems to be sprouting some leaves while the other (like 10 feet apart) isnt doing too well? Do i just pull it and plant a new one? This is my first adventure with fruiting plants so any advice is surely welcome!
I think I killed my Spanish lavender
I’m gonna take another crack at Spanish lavender this weekend. My boyfriend bought me this for Mother’s Day and she went droopy the very next day. I had it in full sun and didn’t overwater it. I used top soil to mix in to my flower bed that was previously growing other bushes. We ripped out all of them in preparation for just a flower bed. Could it be my soil? Root rot? I took her out and put her back in a single pot in hopes she’s still got some life left.
Garden hose and sprinkler advice
I have 2 issues that always make our gardening more difficult.
1- our garden is a really nice big open space but it’s about 220 feet from a water source. The hoses are so expensive and we are always dealing with leaky connectors or replacing broken hoses. It’s a somewhat high traffic area so we are always moving them around. What would people recommend for a good hose or pipe to use?
2- this garden is pretty big, about 60’ by 100’. Sprinklers seem to barely water 1/4 of that. We have pretty long, hot, dry, windy summers so we typically have to water it every 2-3 days. What type of watering system are people using for large gardens?

Strawberry tree yellowing, need help!!
I live in the Pacific Northwest region. I got this well adapted plant (Arbutus unedo 'Compacta' also known as Strawberry tree) to this region and it was replanted in the garden a few weeks ago. But the leaves are yellowing starting from the bottom. There were all green leaves one planted but now it's growing yellow. Not sure what is wrong with the soil or is it the plant adjusting itself to this new place.
It needs slightly acidic to neutral soil.
Anyone have any idea on how to correct this. I don't wanna let the plant die because of some mistakes.
