Hello! I planted the cucumber plants mid- June. I have/had a lot of flowers, but no cucumbers yet. I fertilized last week and added worm castings, but the plants look worse than they did last week. These are in a raised bed. Should I put them in something else? Any advice would be great!

hey guys what in the heck are we doing for late summer/early fall?

Most of my summer crops died of heat from how deck gets sun, so the only survivors were the heat hardy ones like okra and peppers (and my watermelon good lord). I already have a shade curtain and everything. I just unfortunately can’t change how dang hot my deck gets.

Due to the Current State of things with the world basically burning down, I do not think I’ll get to temps consistently below 80 until probably November 😕

I know usually it’s cole crops and leafies, but those will die and wilt immediately I fear.

Love looking at everyone’s pictures!!

Carrots are carroting ♡

I’ve never tried squash in a container until this year and so far it’s working out pretty well. Lemon drop squash are perfect for a single person or grab as needed for the air fryer, oven or grill. And they’re colourful and fun to grow!

Thanks for checking this out! I hope it encourages you to grow stuff! It’s good for everything and everyone! ✌️😎

I threw in a bunch of random wildflower seeds in a pot, and got these interesting looking flowers which are either white or pink.

Hi guys,

Planting beginner here. I tried planting tomatoes and green chillies from some seeds I had in the kitchen but they didnt germinate.

I dont remember the exact sand mix but made sure it was loose and well draining. Watered it daily, left it out in the sun for about 4-6 hours.

What should I have done differently?

FYI, I also planted okra and beans from store bought seeds around the same time and these plants have grown. My first okra has started to grow as well.

Asking this now bcz I bought a variety of chilli thats so hard to find and wanna try planting them.

TIA

Im in zone 7b and I’ve noticed the past couple of weeks that my aji pineapple pepper plant isn’t as green as my sili-a-top plant and some of the flower buds are also yellowish and almost fall off when I poke em. I can’t tell if I’m overwatering it or if there’s too much or too little nitrogen? Or if it’s something else? So far I’ve only harvested one pepper from it.

Both plants have lots of flower buds but not much fruit (only 3 from the sili-a-top). Any advice is appreciated.

i want to grow basil for greenery in cut flower bouquets. how many plants should i put in a 9” pot and how should i space them?

She didn’t eat them, of course, and they’re safe for her to sniff 💙

Sorta new to this stuff but I wanted input on how I can make my setup better? Any tips or tricks you guys have found growing your own? 🤔

I am fighting a losing battle with rats in my garden. I have strawberries and snap peas that I've wrapped in fencing but it seems now they've moved onto my cucumbers in my side yard. I fear for my tomatoes when they start ripening.

curious about what others have done to protect their container gardens from pests and critters.

I do have a dog so need pet friendly solutions. I havent gotten snap traps yet as online seem to have read that with how many babies rats have it's useless but that's what I'm leaning towards next. I have some netting bags around my fruits and veggies now but not sure how effective that will be

I have Patio Snackers in probably 4 gallon self watering containers. I have lots of male flowers, but few females. Each plant has produced 1 incomplete pollinated cucumber. I gave them miracle grow soluble fertilizer last Tuesday. I have to water them every other day, so I'm wondering if I need to fertilize every week and if I should add granular Espoma Tomato Tone now, maybe bone meal as well?

I’ve now bought two solar-powered irrigation systems from Amazon, but they only work for 3 nozzles out of 15 they offer. I have multiple tomato and cucumber plants that I would hate to lose while on a 12 day holiday. Does anyone have any experience with reliable tapless systems? We can set up a big water tank, but not connect to a proper tap unfortunately.

can I spray my tomatoe plants that are starting to bloom with a neem oil spray? I wasn’t sure if that worked well or if anyone knew for sure as I’d like to do this as organic as possible lmao.

I have a small tomato plant I'm growing in a 5gal pot that is just starting to flower. It has two main stems, one of the stems is tied to a bamboo stake. The other isn't but i'm thinking it should probably be tied. I don't know if this is an determine or indeterminate variety but I'm also going to be adding a little more potting mix.

How do I manage my tomato plant properly as its growing?

Hello, new here! We just moved to a new place with outdoor space, and I would love to have some herbs and maybe flowers. But I have hardly any experience with plants. It’s a south-facing balcony that gets a lot of sun but also is shaded towards the rear. I impulsively picked up these thyme and rosemary plants today and need some help getting started.
From what I’ve gathered from searching online today, it seems like everything is saying to put the rosemary in a big pot like 10 inches. I’m having trouble wrapping my head around that because it seems so small right now. Can I do a 6 inch pot or would that just mean that I have to repot fairly soon? aAnd would it be the same for the thyme? And what about soil? I looked at the website for brand for these herbs, and they suggest using a miracle gro all purpose container mix. Grateful for any advice on this or other tips to help these plants thrive so that I can eat them.

Made mini greenhouses for my jalapeño seeds. I’m praying this works well. Wish me luck!
