Plan to wire the branches this fall to define the initial structure better.

Me, I love my Lillie’s, especially these dark purple ones.

I am not all too knowledgeable about plants and wanted to try my hands with planting seeds and growing them indoors!...

Does anybody know if I can get the Timperley Early variety of rhubarb in the United States? I love rhubarb, and this variety seems to be one of the earliest growing. The problem is that I’ve only seen it for sale in the UK.

Unfortunately, it is user error. My watering timer got switched to day mode instead of 24 hours. So it would only work when it had the light to operate, so it always worked when I was in the room…

I’m swimming-with-mermaids delighted to reveal the cover of my next solarpunk mystery novel, Missing Mermaid. Right now I’m deciding how best to arrange the text on the cover. Do you recommend option one (author name on her tail) or option two (author name and title both up in the sky)?...

I started noticing small white flecks on my blackberry vines. Is this something to worry about? Mildew?...

We’re halfway through potting up all the plants we’ve overwintered, but are looking at temps below freezing for the next two nights. Today will be about getting covers ready for everything and setting up ambient warmth for several of our plants that are currently flowering. On my way home from a doctor’s appointment, I...

I thought at first it was because she didn’t get enough chill hours...

I’m kinda half regretting the plant to be honest, it’s spreading vicariously, maybe giving it my cannabis nutrient runoff wasn’t the best idea…...

Still a success, learned that different strains of tomatoe can have wildly different needs that may not be compatible together....

Still waiting for my newest African violet to shape up, but it was cruelly yanked from an auntie’s loving humidity cabinet and then thrown to sink or swim on my countertop.

i don’t like sharing crowdfundings because there are a looooot of them; but i feel like this can be an exception for 3 reasons:...

My SO and I have been planning to start a mushroom garden for awhile now. You can buy these kits with mushroom spawn in peg form, and you just drill holes in a log and hammer them in. I’d had big dreams of going along the bike path, adding them to all the dead logs there, until I learned how important it is to properly and...

Bonus picture of midbloom last year....
