Gardening

When I planned these beds I spaced them far enough apart to get my lawn tractor in-between them, but getting between them and the fence involved my weed whacker. As anyone with a fence has found out, maintaining the grass at the base of a fence is a pain....

Cherry and beefsteak tomatoes. Noticed on the beefsteak first. It started at the top of the plant and worked its way down. Today I went out to do my usual watering and checking on everything and noticed that my cherry tomatoes were showing the same type of wilting. Tomatoes are growing relatively well and the leaves are not...

Getting ready to change out the greens and garlic for cabbages and beets.

Topped by deer and it looks like Lily beetles are a thing here now :(

The plant is still small, but it's putting off a few here and there and man are they tasty. Looking forward to getting enough to actually do something next season

I don't know anything about gardening but I have a small patch of gravel out front where I like to keep some potted plants. My acer's leaves came back healthy after winter but as you can see it isn't doing too good now. I thought the crispy leaves might be because I let it dry out (I was ill for a couple weeks when we had some...

In this bed, for starters we have San marzano, brandy wine and love gourmanson sunrise tomatoes, and some pollinator flowers....

Getting mixed opinions on my Google-fu, some say to give the tree only a few spots to grow, others say to leave them. So what’s Lemmys opinion? Thin at all? If it’s clustered leave one per cluster?...

This is the first planted bed out of them all, from left to right, we have tomatoes, sunflowers, peppers and marigolds....

Last week my landscaper mowed down the mostly perennial, but a few annual wildflowers I was growing from seed. The landscape thought they were weeds because they were mostly not flowering yet (and there were a few weeds in there as well). So now what do I do? I have been watering it every day to see if I can grow some of the...

In this bed we have Russian cukes on the right, and some taller tomatoes on the left, there is snap peas in the smaller pots....

I thought this would be a fun but useful post....

I’m struggling with my yard, blackberry vines have pretty much taken over, does anyone have any tools they’ve found efficient at removing them? Looking for inspiration since search results are filled with such junk

Most seedlings seem to making their way through it!...

Obviously the bought plants have bulbs and blooms, but these are MINE....

I got tired of remaking my sisal trellice every season, and didn't like using nylon netting, so I went with something more long term. The downside? Vine removal in the fall will likely be a slog.

Trying to get in the habit of taking more pictures for work stuff. An abandoned sunflower bed that is gonna get planted with various squash. Hand weeded with a hori-hori and some shitty knee pads. I also forgot my gloves today

The heat is starting to climb, so the early season stuff is starting to struggle a bit. Looks like terra cotta beats plastic and big beats small. There you go, empirical evidence of a fact everyone already knew: plants prefer the expensive pots
