Hello, I’m thinking of trying pallet collars for growing peppers this summer. A single collar is 20cm (8 inches) in height, do you think that’s deep enough?

Hello everyone! What are some fast growing leafy plants that could extend from wooden supports every 4 Meters or so? I’m looking to make a pretty long natural walkway with some sort of shade overhead. I think fast growing plants are the best option. Is there something leafy enough to cross 4 meters?...

I’ve had a few pepper volunteers come up in my seed starts. They’re happy little accidents, at least for the time being. Hopefully they wind up producing. Past results have been mixed, but I have the space so I separated them into their own containers....

I think this is really two questions in one....

I’m planning on clearing some space in my yard for a Rainier cherry tree, and I’m curious if anyone has some tips. I’ve read a couple of guides for selecting good spots, soil amendments, and placement near other cherry trees. Is there anything that caught you by surprise?

Basically the question above. My legacy plant growing in the same pot is doing just fine, but the Sunshine seems to be struggling. We’ve been getting a lot of rain lately so I haven’t been watering as much, is it just thirsty? Should I give it some fertilizer? I’m in Zone 8a and planted them about two weeks ago....

This is my first time growing strawberries, and one set of plants has been thriving, but this set has these black discolorations and seems to be stunted. No discoloration on the bottom of the leaves, and some of the ones with these spots have folded inward and feel papery. What’s going on and how can I treat this? Both plant...

I would like to get plots started with perennial flower seeds. However, it seems like the weeds will overgrow the plots while the perennial seeds get started....

I honestly thought I had killed them last year, but here they are, popping up. There were several more that I planted under a fig tree in my yard.

I’m happy to say, It’s still alive and thriving. That is all.

Has anyone ever had any success growing poppies from the spice cabinet? Im not growing them to harvest the pods or anything and as I understand it, the type from the spice rack isn’t very active anyway. I just think it’s a pretty flower.

We’re planning on growing strawberries this year. I was planning on putting them in pots with plant hangers on the sunny side of the fence, my wife suggested building a vertical tower with some dollar store tri-pots....

It’s about 2 weeks until I start germinating some of my plants to go outside. They go out the last week of May, there’s usually a frost near the end of May. Squashes and other long plants don’t do so well here....

I’m grateful for my patient and loving wife. But I just finished lunch, so lets go play in the pile for a while!...

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....
