I caught this little bee cutting a circle piece from a leaf then disappeared. Fascinating 🐝🌱

The rack was 25 pounds and after giving a bunch away I turned what was left into banana bread. Next rack is coming along nicely and will pobably be closer to 35 pounds.

hi there!! I’m relatively new to gardening and just got my first fern!! I think it is a ‘lady fern’ and for a few weeks the edges of the plant are going brown?? I’m not sure why, I checked the soil and how much I’m watering it but I don’t know what’s going on with it. I added some photos for reference!! Can anyone advise?? Thanks !! :)

I planted these from seed around the base of one of my trees and couldn’t believe how quickly they filled in. They ended up being one of my favorite things I grew. I also love that the flowers and leaves are edible. Does anyone else actually eat their nasturtiums, or do you mostly grow them for the flowers?

It’s time to over winter the plants here in RI! Cut both my Primotalii plants back to the main Y today, washed all the dirt off the roots, trimmed them down, and repotted in 5 gallon pots. Gave them a peroxide drench, sprayed the stems with soap, and put sand on top for gnats. Cats live here so there's weed fabric over the sand so they don’t think it’s their litter box 🤣

Our season is short (last frost mid May) so I'm hoping this gets me bigger plants in spring. Going to barely water them till March.

How often do you water yours over winter? This is my first time giving this a try.

Hello all, first post here.

I am in need of guidance on the best way to prevent this “garden“ from turning into a muddy quagmire over the winter.

I moved in late Simmer and fully cleared out all fallen leaves and weeds. I knew it was in a sorry state but I did not anticipate that all that would remain is a virtually non existent garden. It‘s 90% bare dirt, as you can see.

The goal is to try and turn this into a small lawn with planting beds to the sides with some bushes.

I began by following advice to cover it all with mulch to “protect” the soil but after doing a little bit I wanted different opinions because it doesn’t seem right. I’ve instead started shifting it to the perimeter where I plan to have berry bushes and around the compost bin.

Other advice says to cover it with a permeable fabric or something like leaf mould? I honestly don’t know and as the weather is getting wetter and wetter here in the UK I want to get this sorted.

I realise in hindsight I should have just left it all until Spring, but I started clearing all in summer so I thought I had all the time in the world to get my first garden in good shape. I have never had a garden, I know virtually nothing about gardening.

Help please!

Im loosing my mind lol maybe harvested at the wrong time. Never planted this before but my god this will not come off. I tried taking the skin off when i picked it and then waited a couple days and now i have soaked it…. NOTHING. I have others on the vine still so im not worried about this one but id like to know what ive done wrong

I was given a pumpkin plant yesterday by my coworker who grew it from seed. I planted it yesterday in a planter. I have the Kellogg raised bed and potting mix. I also sprinkled in some mushroom compost that I got from Home Depot.

The planter is located outside in the corner of the yard next to the wall. It gets a lot of sun, I don’t quite know how many hours, but if I had to guess, at least eight. I watered it right after I planted it and then I watered again when I got home today and saw how wilted it looks. Prior to second watering the soil was dry a knuckle and a half deep. The planter has a net for drainage.

The attached images are of when I received the pumpkin plant, when I first planted it, and what it looks like today.

I forget what kind of pumpkin it is, but it produces 6 to 8 little pumpkins. Please help I really don’t want to kill my pumpkin plant.

Im a noob gardner and yes I know its not the ideal time to grow pumpkins but my coworker has three that she put in the ground and they are doing great.

These are different moss rose colors i have collected in past year. I can't wait to fill my garden outline bed with these flowers. How do they look.

These came off the same plant and I just had to share. I’m blown away. The big one feels super thick-walled and has lost its wrinkles!! Super weird but I’m thrilled

I only grow reblooming iris. They are planted in the south side of my house in full unrelenting sun. They are mulched but rarely watered unless we go like a month without rain. This is the second show of the year.

Forgive me since I am new to this and don't know what anything is. 🤣 Planted a banana tree recently and its doing amazing but have noticed these smaller leaves coming up and I'm not sure what they are, whether they're apart of the tree or something I should remove?

Any insight would be muchly appreciated!

I’m increasingly leaning toward French marigolds over mums for fall displays. Love their vibrant colors and long-lasting blooms. Sharing a few photos from my garden this year! Very impressed by the yellow variety!

I took this photo myself around 2019, In my childhood garden, it isn't AI. I was wondering if anyone knows the type of rose?

I really want the same ones as they were so beautiful

:( please don't remove mods

EDIT:

I believe we have found 2 close contenders for which they were!

Celestial night rose

Or

Brindabella purple Prince
