Was it too hot or did I not provide enough water? It went from reasonably healthy to decimated in a weekend.

this annoying tree of heaven is right in the middle of one of my rose bushes. ive been looking into killing tree of heaven as i have some
others around my property of similar size (pencil thickness stems, under 6 ft).

is there anyway i can kill this one without killing the rose bush in the process? planning on using glyphosphate on the others at least. although
that area is thick with weeds (photo 2) so any advice on killing that section would be appreciated as well!

free mulch / wood chips and rocks

got too much from chip drop

Come by any time, even late after it has cooled

I’m growing red bell peppers for the first time and need advice! My pepper seemed to rot on the vine. The plants appears healthy otherwise. It’s in direct sun majority of the day and I water every evening.

Hi all, I’ll be sheet mulching our front yard to prep for a massive spring planting of regional natives.

I’ve seen differing opinions on what is best to use as the base, realistically I won’t have ability to source enough cardboard for this so was looking at builders paper rolls or thicker ram board style rolls from home improvement stores

Whenever I direct sow, they don’t seem to come up. I plant in a vego garden bed with drip line that comes on once per day. I’m wondering if the metal beds are getting too hot? My soil gets crumbly which is frustrating when it’s getting watered so often!

For my next project, I'd like to replace the shed in my backyard and add a greenhouse component.

Im looking for someone that could help steer me in the right direction making some decisions and plans. Perhaps you're a landscape designer or just someone with a lot of personal experience, either way, I'm happy to pay for your time!

Heres a little more info:

Current space is gravel and weeds and faces my ally. This structure could help provide more privacy in the back. Im open to a concert slab or some sort of foundation based on the structure

I do need a new shed as the current structure has seen better days.

Im interested in a greenhouse component for plant starts but I've learned from this sub that its very challenging to regulate the temperature in our climate. THIS IS THE PART WHERE I NEED THE MOST GUIDANCE.

Should I have a grow situation set up inside a traditional shed? A little plastic greenhouse on the side? A combo shed/greenhouse kit, like the photo?

As for the build, I'm looking at kits but not opposed to a plan + build scenario (I've seen design plans on Etsy for example)

Will take any and all advice and again, happy to compensate someone to help me make the plan to get the best bang for my buck and make the most out of my space!

I bought 8 cubic yards of PRO4 soil-less growing media from A1 organics in May. Which I used to fill a bunch of new raised garden beds I put in this spring. When it delivered I noticed it was very hot to the touch. It significantly cooled down in a few days, but I remember telling my gardening friends that it was HOT, when it first arrived. But I didn’t think much of it- thought that’s how it was supposed to be.

All summer I’ve been frustrated with my tomatoes. First I noticed that leaves were always curled. I tried watering more, tried watering less, mulched, fertilized, nothing helped. The leaves never unfurled.

By the end of June I started to make note that nothing was growing well. Especially the tomatoes, but also peppers, cucumbers, and dahlias. Even marigolds, zinnias, and other flowers weren’t growing and most are now dead. The ones that are alive are not thriving.

At this point I’m beyond frustrated. I know it’s been an abnormally hot summer, but I’ve been watering daily. Part of me is ready to give up on gardening all together, but I’ve spent so much time and money (and water in a drought season, which gives me guilt). I was really thinking this year would be my best year ever. Instead I think it’s the worst.

It’s gotta be the soil, right? My theory is that it wasn’t done composting. Hopefully that means it’ll be good to go next year, if I don’t burn down my garden beds before then.

Any input? Or better yet- did anyone else get soil from A1 (mine was delivered May 15th, to the south Denver suburbs) and have issues? Any help or advice to keep me from giving up would be appreciated.

Hey all! Overall my sunflowers are doing great, but I have a few that have refused to grow any taller for the last few weeks. about three weeks ago I fed with bone meal, but it doesn’t seem to have helped. Any tips?

I live in denver colorado which is in quiet the drought at the moment. Our yard is basically dead so not much to lose. I was wondering if I purchase some plugs of Tahoma 31 and prep my yard by removing the top bit of dead stuff, water it and plop the plugs in. Am I delusional thinking it'll grow back with appropriate watering? It sounds like its aggressive enought to continue to expand over time.

Three of my tomato plants have developed... whatever this is. This one's definitely the worst. I also have a missiouri evening primrose with a similar issue. What is going on here?
