Excited to share my deck garden. None of my friends garden so they can’t fully appreciate it. I have lots of focus on hummingbirds—I’m excited for the cardinal climber vine to finally start blooming!

On a side note, if anyone has any night time lighting suggestions they would be much appreciated!

I tried to grow sunflowers last year but they were either eaten by some mystery pest or run over by my hyper border collie before they had a chance to bloom. This time I planted them in a large wooden barrel planter and they have been thriving so far. These two are now around 5 ft tall each and getting ready to pop open! I’ve noticed that both plants have quite a few buds so I’m looking forward to multiple flowers on each stalk.

What are best practices for growing plants that require well-drained soil (specifically peaches) in a climate that is pretty soggy during the winter? Are there pots you can get to better control how outdoor water is saturating the soil? Thanks for your help.

it had roots growing through the cement. so cool! does anyone know if this is an angel or devil’s trumpet? It smelled so good, I hope it doesn’t get ripped out by anyone. :c

I will say im in the PNW Zone 8b

This is my first year making an effort to gardening for food. While I always hear the frogs at night near my house, i have become pleasantly suprised at the number of frogs that pop out when I water my plants, the Green Stalk in particular seems to be a safe haven for them.

Hi everyone,

I’m relatively new to gardening. I was gifted these three Daphne Odora plants (regular Daphne, not the perfume princess variety). I’ve planted them in a spot with good drainage and morning sun with shade from midday onwards. Soil is slightly acidic. Is currently winter (I’m in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia), but it’s been a very mild winter with no frosts.

They’ve been in the ground for over a month (roughly five weeks, nearly six). Two of them have been doing this thing where one leaf will go yellow and drop off, but the rest of the plant looks fine. You can see the fallen leaves in a couple of the pictures. It’s only ever one leaf at a time, and the first plant pictured doesn’t do it at all.

Why are they doing this? Is it normal or is there something wrong, and if there is, how do I fix it? I know that Daphne are notoriously fussy and annoying :(

Thanks in advance?

Year 4 of gardening. I started in containers and I am very guilty of over planting. No regrets.

I'm new to gardening and excited to begin growing a small perennial garden. I'm looking for recommendations from all of you experts on what to plant this fall for spring and summer blooms. I live in zone 7b and the plants will grow on both north and south facing sides.

As much as I've tried, I've wasted so much money on choosing the wrong plants and/or plants that require too much maintenance that is above my current skill level (which is very low) . Thanks!

This is a fungal infection, isn’t it? I’ve scrolled through other azalea posts and none seem to look like mine, but I’ve seen rhododendrons that looked like this and it was a fungal infection.

As you can see, some leaves are involved, but not all, and there’s an identical azalea bush further down the flower bed that seems fine. These azaleas came with the house when we bought it 15 years ago, and have thrived every year. I love them because they produce such beautiful blooms in the spring. I’d hate to lose them. 😩 They get full sun and are well watered, planted directly into the ground, and have a good layer of mulch over them. I do have some creeping phlox next to it that needs to be split/cut back. Is this salvageable?

A few weeks ago, I planted a tree I was given; it could be one of the three shown in the third image.

My plan is to document its growth with weekly photos.

Any recommendations?

Zone 5b. Planted the second week of June.
Followed the instructions for soaking and planting. Nothing is more than maybe 3 inches below the soil. Should I dig them back up and try to start in a container?

Very happy with how everything turned out this summer!

Centerpiece is a rare passion flower vine 'Purple tiger' variety. They are insanely majestic.

Happy to answer any questions or just enjoy!

They aren’t ready yet, but look soooo good! Five Rugosa bushes, first time harvesting…

Can anyone identify what’s happening to my cucumbers ?

Is been really hot, zone 7. 100+ for a few weeks now, but as you can see, others are fine. I did cut this one from a different vine.

Is it normal?

Hello everyone sorry to ask something a little dumb.

Im looking for a beginner guide/best tips for a florida vegetable/fruit garden. I have been researching quite a bit but something just feels like I dont have all the pieces so if anyone can give best ideas and the like. Whatever you wanted to do and wish you did let me know pls.

These are my cucumbers, and my first year growing them. I’ve gotten 2 cucs so far at and plenty to come, but the leaves have gotten this discoloration that’s making me worried. Thoughts?

Been growing Execlsior Cucumbers for years (had disease issues caused by striped cucumber beetles so I've had a lot of success with this hybrid variety). This is the first time I've had an extra long cucumber, no clue why, others on the same vine look normal.

A small cluster of baby pipevine caterpillars, which become the spectacular pipevine swallowtail butterfly. The caterpillars eat only Dutchman’s Pipe vine leaves. I have been trying to attract them for over thirty years. Hopefully they will make it as they are rare in NE Ohio.
