If hybrids produce seeds that aren’t ‘true-to-type’, then how do they keep making the same ones every year?

I am making this post because after years of frustration, I have finally learned how to do it consistently. Most sources say that Papaver Somniferum needs to be cold stratified and have light to germinate and this is basically false....

Hopefully you all will be able to help me with some questions I have about growing bamboo....

Us: Leaves a spot empty because we ran out of plants/seeds....

Hiya, have got these very simple bamboo plants in my bathrooms as they really like it there. However this one is now well over 2 years old and clearly has grown a lot. How can I safely trim the plant and is it possible to keep the leftover part in a glass of water to make it grow roots? I don't have much experience with these...

Most of my tomato plants are doing really well. But the one in the cage highlighted in red started failing a few weeks ago. I fertilized with some Miracle grow I had lying around and it didn't improve. Then I got some Tomato Tone. That did nothing. The plant kept getting worse and worse and now it's just a husk. I'm afraid blue...

Neat time lapse video of a bunch of different plants (and fungi) growing from seed to flowering/fruiting.

Hello,...

My butternut squash plants, although are growing very well, seem to have this white patterning along the veins of their leaves....

One of my tomato plants is doing excellent due to the warm weather recently (was planted 2 Weeks earlier)....

What the heck? Is this normal?

Bought a couple star gazer lilys from Lowe’s about 5 years ago and they’ve been multiplying every year. This winter I’ll need to dig out some bulbs cause it’s getting thick and over crowded in that pot....

They topped all my sunflowers, about 30 bean seedlings, mowed down one of my full-grown bush beans, and over-pruned one of my watermelon vines in a single night. I saw some spots where they nibbled at my potatoes as well. These suburban deer are a menace. With as many dogs as we have running around here, you'd think they'd stay...

Interestingly, only this one still has the purple. There used to be yellow, white and pink too. They’ve been slowly losing colours when they come back. I do deadhead them when the bloom is spent....

We planted a variety of plants, at different stages of growth. After a bit of experimentation, cosmos grow extremely well. These were cuttings we put in just a couple weeks ago, and they're already bigger than most of the other plants that have been in there for over a month....

Birds like picking their seeds that they throw into it back out, and I think the neighbors cats gotten into it a couple times. Working on some critter guards, but I’ve been spending my time modifying under the deck for a larger dog run for when I get a new dog. The sheds new, still in progress, need probably 8 more yards of...
