Growing above the graft?

Planted this citrus tree last year and it has taken off this spring. I’m pretty sure it’s a blood orange and I want to confirm it is growing above the graft. Thanks in advance

Tomatoes being decimated by rats!

This is my first time growing tomatoes “in the city” (Lakeview).

Anyone have any suggestions?

Pumpkins

Does anyone grow jack o lantern pumpkins? Started some seeds a few weeks ago but the starts are still quite small. The smaller variety we planted is doing well with several inches of growth and new leaves

Mayhaw and pawpaw trees

Hey y’all my wife and I just bought our first house over in Kenner last October and I’m looking to have fruiting trees and plants but native species wherever possible. Any clue where to get saplings of either of these trees?

Friend or foe?

I think this is a small caterpillar chilling inside one of my cucumber blossoms, but I can’t figure out if it’s a beneficial bug or something that’s going to tear up my plants. Image searching isn’t showing anything that looks close either. Any ideas? I’m in the Harahan area

Found a beautiful Io moth in the yard while I was weeding yesterday.

Too pretty not to share! Been enjoying all the monarch caterpillars & butterflies doing their thing in the yard, but it was a TRIP to see this lil lady as well. I’m new to gardening in NO - are these moths common?!

Free Peace Lily!

She’s in rough shape but still hanging on! My dog’s tails have been doing a number on her and she definitely needs a repot. I’m moving across the country in a few months and want to find a good place for her.

Caterpillar destroying vegetables!

Any idea who these little jerks are that keep eating my squash and bell peppers?

I find them extremely irritating and would prefer they not destroy the vegetables I’m so desperately trying to keep alive.

Guava

What's the tea on growing the different types of guava here? Strawberry? Pineapple? Anyone have experience getting a large harvest? I love the fruit and wanted to try my hand at it.

Does anyone have any pointers on where it's being sold or have cuttings for sale/trade/free?
