Beefsteak tomatoes

TIL that the USDA hardiness zones are each a ten-degree band of average minimum temperature in the fahrenheit scale, and the “a” and “b” suffixes break each zone down further into 5 degree ranges. (en.m.wikipedia.org)

I guess I thought they were more like distinct biomes but it really is just uniform chunks of temperature range. I also didn’t know that they were defined by the US Department of Agriculture, who created the first such system to help gardeners. There are similar maps for Australia, Canada, and parts of Europe, but no single...

Are these thrips? How do you get rid of them? (lemmy.world)

Hi Gardeners!...

A few pictures of my garden (lemmy.world)

Two pumpkins are getting big...

Would a Hula Hoe work well enough on these rocks? Or should I just shovel up everything, re-tarp, and re-rock? Other suggestions? (lemmy.world)

My wordy title is pretty much everything 😅....

So much life on one thistle head. (lemmy.world)

My butterfly weeds were crawling with different bees this morning. (lemmy.world)

Rotten squash question

Last year I started a garden for the first time. Learned a lot! When I picked my squash last year it seemed fine, then I kept it on my counter for maybe a week before I noticed a small rotten spot on the underside. Eventually the rotten spot grew and I just composted the whole squash....

My first time growing spinach from seed and I have questions… (i.imgur.com)

I’ve bought spinach starts in the past and had a great time harvesting spinach all season - just a few leaves off the bunch each time and more would always grow....

Lettuce is doing well (lemmy.world)

The peas though are struggling a little bit this year...

Just 25 days of growth! (lemmy.world)

Loving my jungle! I built this bed enclosure last year late in the summer so this is my first real season.

This potted succulent REALLY gave our doorstep some pizzazz this year (i.imgur.com)

Here’s what Romaine lettuce eventually becomes (i.imgur.com)

I had a great year for Romaine lettuce. After learning how nutritious it is, I started a bunch of seeds and they did really well. We had more than we could eat, and after a camping trip I came home to find they’d bolted (see picture). I recommend trying this plant if you have any interest. They are reportedly water intensive...

Mixed up, muddled up! (lemmy.world)

Need help in decideing what kind of plant this is. (lemmy.world)

I got this plant from my mother because I’m interested in chili planting. She choose this from a supermarket (Tesco) because it had a chili symbol on it. It says Capsicum aanum sombrero which from the symbol said to be not edible and might not even be chili. From a google search the name Capsicum aanum I found that it refers...
