This kale is giving me Sideshow Bob vibes ( lemmy.world )
[Image description: a curly-leaf kale plant in a raised bed, with voluminous radiating leaves that kinda look like the afro of said Simpson's character.]
You all inspired me to do some beautification in my veg garden ( lemmy.world )
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....
The state of my garden right now
Getting ready to change out the greens and garlic for cabbages and beets.
Floating Island is Doing Great ( lemmy.world )
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....
I finally have lilies! ( lemmy.world )
Soon you will be BLT's... ( lemmy.world )
First Harvest! ( lemmy.world )
Got a little excited and accidentally picked some still green ones, but hey! First ever fruit I’ve grown! Tastes all the sweeter for it! Thanks everyone for all of your advice! I’ve got so many more still turning, I’ll have to make some blueberry cobbler once they’re all done.
They Came in the Night ( lemmy.world )
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...
How to germinate and grow opium poppies
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....
You guys have so many pretty gardens so now it's time for my ugly one.
I rent in an urban area and was given a backyard full of 6 foot tall weeds. Over the winter I managed to somewhat reduce their numbers and have been fighting them down since but also I didn't really have any money for gardening so I just went with direct inground with a bag of miracle grow for fertilizer and some cheap mulch for...
He's making a run for it! ( lemmy.world )
Us: Leaves a spot empty because we ran out of plants/seeds....
Well I think I'm gonna use straw from now on in my garden ( lemmy.world )
Most seedlings seem to making their way through it!...
My first raised garden bed ( sh.itjust.works )
It will look great in a month! ( lemmy.world )
Alert: tomato plant has breached containment ( lemmy.world )
First garden project so we didn't know quite what to expect; thinking we should have given them a little more space. They've completely grown over the basil and in the past 2 days shot out of the netting. It's exciting they're doing so well though....
Going to be rewarded with blooms anytime now growmies! ( lemmy.world )
Since I don't have any new blooms yet, here's my raspberry bush. ( lemmy.world )
Sometimes you need to introduce a non-native garden predator to help with the ecosystem. Growmies, meet Titan. ( lemmy.world )
So turns out they just let you leave with puppies now, was expecting atleast a week process. Not quite done the dog run, but enough he’s got a good amount of space while I get stuff done.
Like a glove. New shed growmies! ( lemmy.world )
Me and my neighbor built a garden today ( lemmynsfw.com )
Garden is going great! Had a little thinning and bondage session this morning. ( lemmy.world )
Dahlias! ( lemmy.world )
Store bought starters, but they’ve been transplanted and these are new blooms since getting established!
Pink Lemonade Raspberries ( lemmy.world )
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
What am I dealing with? ( lemmy.world )
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...
