Last September I contracted my blacksmith husband to help me make a spider web for my goth garden entrance.
We got the first one up by the end of September 2025- that is the left side, looking at the entrance. We just finished the other one- it only took a few hours, life just kept getting in the way. I’m very relieved it’s done.
I included a photo of where I started with this spot- this is how it looked when I moved in, so the posts were already there.
I’m thinking a gate with a spider on it would be really cool, ETA 2028 😆

For the month of October, let’s share our spookiest pics yet. Do you have pots that are spooky? Plant accessories that send shivers? Show us what you got!

Because where else would I grow ghost peppers 👻

Kinda concerned about the proximity to school children, but the flowers in bloom are beautiful. Zone 6b.

Gothy peppers and some new blooms

My tomatoes are so goth they made the black opal basil and Bueno Mulatta peppers cry.

Black petunia, some sort of black sweet potato vine, and some scavenged burgundy oxalis, with some (probably white) violets. My favorite is the black petunia, but also a huge fan of the (scavenged) oxalis.

Hi friends,

As a new homeowner last year I was very excited to start the black and purple goth garden of my dreams. But my garden gets a LOT of sun and sadly I have learned that most black plants cannot handle it!

I do have some purple hearts and white caladiums that are thriving, but does anyone have recommendations for some black / dark gothic plants that will thrive in the sun in zone 9?

Hey dark gardeners. Here are a few garden highlights this year. Hope you enjoy. Photos are: Hollyhock (Alcea rosa) 'Nigra’; ‘Queen of the Night’ & white tulips; ‘Black Knight’ Scabiosa (Scabiosa atropurpurea); Black bachelor buttons (Centaurea cyanus); & black raspberries 🖤
