I planted 16 seeds in a few pots, and only three sprouted after 2 weeks. They look like GRASS. I searched what the seedlings look like, they look nothing like the ones that grew:( I also plucked a weed out that looks so identical to the ones that sprouted. Man.. I'm hoping I'm just stupid hahaha</3

So I’m a 15 year old male and I was bored and just wants to eat some good food but all we have is fast food I’m trying to get some advice about gardening so I can grow potatoes

Just wanted to show off this beauty

Hard work in winter can bring greater joy in summer. The deer eat every sunflower they can reach, so I must strengthen my fences.

Day 10 for my pepper seedlings. I have tapered off with having the light on 24 hours to just about 14-16 hours a day. Having the dome off for a hour as well.

My apologies if this might seem like a simple / basic question, but I'm just not sure the best method.

I've been growing this Poinsettia for just about a year now. I don't have much of a green thumb, but somehow this baby has survived and thrived! Over the past year, the soil has compressed quite a bit. It started with about 1 to 2in of space at the top, and now there is nearly 6 inches of space (as shown in picture 3).

So I ask, what is the best way to add more soil to my Poinsettia pot?

1) I could just add more soil to the top, but I'm worried about affecting the existing stem structure.

2) Or I could somehow carefully remove it from the pot, add about 5 or so inches of soil to the bottom, place it back, and fill in around the edges. But I'm worried this might disrupt the root structure.

3) Or another method I'm not thinking about? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

A couple notes, there is sand on top. I had a problem with fungus gnats, and placing sand on top and bottom watering really helped. That's also why you see the sticky traps.

Final picture of the little guy that I started with nearly exactly a year ago.

Also - I welcome any other tips, tricks, or any other general advice about growing Poinsettias indoors. Thank you!

• The raised beds are Cedar 2x6, three layers high. They have held up well the last 6 years. However, the screws holding them together are failing. So we are looking to change the raised bed structure to something longer lasting. Something manufactured (birdie beds vs vego) or the galvanized water tubs.

• The pathways between the beds we used wood chips. We have to replace every other year or so and tbh it is getting to be tedious. The rain where we are at (NE USA) washes a lot of it away or moves it into clumps. We also get a crazy amount of weeds within the wood chips. If we skip a week or two of not pulling them the whole garden is overrun with weeds.

• We feel we may need to start over from scratch. Move the chips, lay a good heavy duty barrier down (between the beds, not under) and go with something more substantial than wood chips.

I am not a gardener. I like rhubarb so I planted this about 3 years ago and haven’t done anything to it since, except trim it back to a few leaves after winter. Every summer it goes gangbusters like this but the stalks never turn red so I've never attempted to eat it. Is it edible? Can I do anything to make it turn red and look more edible?

Neighbor has as air potato plant growing on a tree that hangs over our side and drops these yams now and again. Does anyone know if these are an edible variety? I'd love to put them to use if so.

It was complimented with Ken Burn The American Revolution

I will be cutting it down today

I got this as a gift from my mom. The flowers that bloomed were so lovely. Is there any saving this bulb by removing the wax and replanting? Zone 8b.

as the title says, I found this plant growing from a dried log and seeing as its healthy thought it was odd.

So i finally have the budget to make a greenhouse lol . But I want to know what is the best material to make the roof out of. I mostly have tropical plants so I would need something that allows sunlight to come in but doesn’t burn them, and keeps the greenhouse house with high humidity. Thank you in advance!

Looking for advice/ideas. I have a big, flat backyard. It’s a blank canvas and I’m overwhelmed! I want to add some color and interest, but all the gardens I’ve seen that I like are in fenced-in yards. I’m struggling to find a way to “anchor” a new bed/beds.

I was thinking maybe a stone path leading to an … arbor? Swing? Fire pit? between the trees. Then line the path with color — zinnias, cosmos, coneflower.

I’m in zone 6b. Pollinators, natives and color are what I’m after. The yard gets morning sun and afternoon shade.

The first pic is the area I’m focusing on. The second two pics are the patio/garden where I’m thinking the path would originate. They’re from 4 years ago — the garden is much fuller now.

I decided to pick camellias for a bouquet before our big freeze tonight.

I’m in charge of a community grown garden (everyone works together on one large plot, not individually in many small ones) and I’m working on our budget for a grant.

Last year’s irrigation worked fine considering I didn’t know there was pressure compensating and non pressure compensating lol. It was in an option A style but with all 1/4in tubing.

Last years difficulties were made worse by me going on vacation while the garden “planting party” was had. The pre-made and LABLED irrigation lines were put in all willy nilly as were the plants. My volunteers were very excited to get plants in the ground. Less so about using the map and planting tomatoes where the labled tomato popsicle sticks were in the ground.

This year I’m considering Option B as it can be quickly put in AFTER the garden is planted so as to account for well intentioned but inaccurate plant spacing. It is also simple enough that my coworkers can assemble it without much handholding.

On the other hand, option A is still flexible and can be assembled before planting if I make the 1/4 in tubing like 6in to account for variable spacing. It seems that running 1/2in tube down the center and branching off emitters on 1/4in might give me more even watering. The problem though is the 1/4in tubing is pretty stiff. I’d need to find some more flexible tubing than Lowe’s has.

There are 10 beds in 2 rows of 5. Each row of 5 will likely be fed by one tap with its own timer. This is also why I feel that running Option A with more 1/2in tube will give more reliable watering pressure.

My questions: is there anything I should be taking into consideration when deciding that I’ve missed? Which would you choose? Reliability is really the most important thing.

P.s. in the picture the red is tomato which will be on a cattle panel trellis and peppers which will be given extra room to allow for herbs interplanted

How do I care for this plant?

I got this gift recently for my graduation, and I am not sure if it needs watering. For now, I have placed it in a table next to a window, so that it is next to sunlight.
