It's the middle of June, welcome to climate change growmies. ( lemmy.world )
Unintended Experiments: Peas and Terra Cotta (plus bonus taters) ( lemmy.world )
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
We too have lilies ( lemmy.world )
Topped by deer and it looks like Lily beetles are a thing here now :(
What's this random plant growing in my garden? ( sh.itjust.works )
I didn't plant it (intentionally) but it's definitely more than a weed. I'm letting it grow just to see what it wants to grow up to be.
Hugelkultur poppin' up pollinators ( sh.itjust.works )
My columbines have flowered for a second round! About 1/3 the size for the blooms though. ( lemmy.world )
What is thing thats digging a hole in my lawn? It happens overnight .
A Before and After to Soothe Your Tuesday ( lemmy.world )
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
Do you ever have a tomato plant that dies for seemingly no reason? ( sh.itjust.works )
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...
This is mini raised bed #1 ( lemmy.world )
This is the first planted bed out of them all, from left to right, we have tomatoes, sunflowers, peppers and marigolds....
Rain barrel vs tap water, EC and PH comparison. ( lemmy.world )
Installed some new rain barrels, so just wanted to see how it compared to tap. Just using some HM Digital meters to test.
How do I help my acer? ( i.imgur.com )
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...
My Campfire Roses. ( lemmy.world )
Raised bed coming in clutch growmies. Frost the last 3 mornings, but the peppers still thrive! ( lemmy.world )
I did some deadheading. Can I plant these for more flowers? ( sh.itjust.works )
purple flower
Floating Island Garden ( lemmy.world )
Our retention pond in our neighborhood has a lot of algae and problematic plant growth due to the surrounding farms and lawn runoff, so we're experimenting with a floating island to pull nutrients out before they can cause problems. This will also provide some interesting flowering plants, and more fish habitats....
Beans are coming! ( lemmy.world )
After a cold and rainy start of spring, finally the beans are sprouting. We also have a bunch of tomatoes and brassicae....
Corn on the Rise (and other stuff) ( lemmy.world )
Corn is finally peeking out, but something has been digging it up and chomping seedlings, too. I shotgunned it, so I can afford the losses. More stuff in a comment to follow
Shuffling the peppers ( lemmy.world )
Shuffling around my peppers to make room for the tomatoes I just planted up.

One 4'x12' raised bed ready for spring growmies! ( lemmy.world )
In this bed (plan is to rotate with the other one) is sunflowers and tomatoes on the left, mixed in with them is arugula, carrots and cucumbers....
favas eating ants? ( feddit.dk )
Hi All, my fava beans are being eaten by black ants , no aphids. the ants themselves seem to be sucking the juice out of the leaves, leaving black spots where they have been nibling....
The pepper seedlings are ready for potting this weekend ( pawb.social )
The top half are Black Hungarians, and the bottom are jalapeños....
Well growmies, there's one less predator for my veggie garden this year, my 14 year old dog will Godzilla all the plants she wants in heaven tomorrow. ( lemmy.world )
New homeowner, just sorta winging it... ( lemmy.world )
Having never owned a house or really had a yard of my own, I got pretty excited and decided to do some ad-hoc landscaping. Built some raised beds for vegetables, and just laying in some organic shaped in-ground beds for low water decorative plants. Gonna fill the rest in with gravel. Any pointers?
