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

Having never owned a house or really had a yard of my own, I got pretty excited and decided to do some ad-hoc landscaping. Built some raised beds for vegetables, and just laying in some organic shaped in-ground beds for low water decorative plants. Gonna fill the rest in with gravel. Any pointers?

Hi! Any idea on what those are? I found them in my raised bed while preparing it for the spring season. They look like little onions but have the texture of potatoes....

So I’ve got this Monstera plant thats been with us for a while but recently got attacked by these tiny tiny black insects that keep eating the leaves. I’ve actively tried to get rid of them as well as screening this plant away from the rest, but the insects seem to always come back. I’ve just read that it’s possible to...

I had a customer come into my garden center today and ask for “those mini sweet peppers. you know, the ones grocery stores sell”. I have no idea what those peppers are. I suggested a sweet pimento, but they wanted the grocery store was selling....
