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....
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....
Soon you will be BLT's... ( lemmy.world )
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...
I finally have lilies! ( 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.
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!...
New toy for the birthday! Wife nailed it with this one. ( lemmy.world )
The unfortunate thing is, I don’t really have a place to put it for wind without it being right on the public fence, and being on a 20 foot pole to be the same height as this. It’s sheltered by the house from the east and will get a wind tunnel effect from between the houses, but other than that it should be ideal here.
My first raised garden bed ( sh.itjust.works )
It will look great in a month! ( lemmy.world )
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 )
Like a glove. New shed growmies! ( lemmy.world )
How far down the path of deep seated regret do you think I'll travel in the fall? ( lemmy.world )
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.
Well I hope the seeds can grow through this. ( lemmy.world )
So long story short, I’ve been thinking about doing this anyways, but the city had to put its worst water restrictions into place with an unprecedented water main break. The cities Largest main break which is a 2m pipe (6 foot 6 inches for the neighbours). This means zero outside watering, it’s a great thing I recently...
Me and my neighbor built a garden today ( lemmynsfw.com )
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....
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...
Well hello there you. ( lemmy.world )
Should you thin an apple tree at all? ( lemmy.world )
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?...
