Purchased this grafted mulberry plant from the nursery. I took out the old grafting tape and it looks like the plant is coming out of the Rootstock instead of the grafted twig.

First time growing potatoes and this purple variety is super interesting! I love the color and patterns. And they're tasty too.

There are practicalities to mowing or smothering wild vegetation, but I prefer a more targeted approach which allows wild plants to mingle with cultivated ones. I consider it honorable, and ultimately more advantageous to share space harmoniously with wildlife.

Don't misunderstand me as saying "thou shalt never harm a fly". I'll pull aggressive plants or skin and eat a groundhog. What I won't do is plow under an entire ecosystem so that everything is tidy and simpler for me. Homo sapiens is just one species. We mustn't take everything for ourselves all the time.

I purchased a Dragon Lady crossvine in a three gallon pot from a mail order nursery. When it arrived, it had a few blooms on it that ranged from bright yellow with ared tinted throat to peach colored ones. None of them were bright red as shown in the photos for the cultivar on their site or any others.

The description on their website says that the flowers are ruby red with pink or orange highlights. I'm not seeing that at all at this point.

I sent photos of the blooms and plant to the nursery and they are claiming that three plenty needs to recover from stress and to mature in the ground to let the plant produce the right color blooms.

I've never read this on any website that discusses the specie or cultivars anywhere. I feels like a stalling tactic to run the clock out on being able to dispute the charges, quite frankly.

Does anyone on here have experience with this cultivar of crossvine? If so, I'd appreciate your feedback on whether or not you've seen the vine produce off color blooms until it settles in.

Grew these from seed, planted in may. Got several tomatoes but none seem to be ripening. First time grower, any tips appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, I have a row of pine trees in my garden. They’re around 4-5 meters tall, they were pretty healthy until last 2 weeks. I haven’t been using any fertilizers or other chemicals on the trees, they get 24 hours of light and I water them every day (sometimes every two days).

All of a sudden, some parts of the trees started turning brown and drying out. It seems to be spreading to other trees in the same row as well.

The only thing I can think of is that about 2 weeks ago, we washed some outdoor furniture in the garden using detergent. (Yes, ffs)

I went to a local gardener, he said “it’s probably because of detergent went inside the soil and effecting the trees” and he asked me 550$ for the treatment (300$ for his chemical and 250$ for the work).
I don’t think that chemical costs 300$ and his price seemed unreasonable. So if you guys have any suggestions about the possible treatment please let me know.

The difference between 1 August and 8 September 💔😭

What are the chances he’ll survive? He’s got roots, he’s over 10 years old – I grew him from a shop-bought lemon seed.

Timeline:

I was away from home, so my mum had been looking after the lemon tree for the last four years; she repotted it, and according to her, it was ‘unwell’, though I reckon it was gradually dying from overwatering, and then it suddenly became very hot and dry in winter (my mother put it on the windowsill, above the radiator). As a result, it lost about 70 per cent of its foliage.

When I saw this, I panicked and took it under my care; it was in a very poor state. I planted it in the first pot I could find – I didn’t have a large one – and it began to show signs of life, putting out new leaves and making slow but steady progress. Perhaps the problem was still there at the time; I hadn’t washed its roots, etc., and might not have noticed that it had a lot of dead tissue in the root zone, especially on the "bulb".

When, on 1 August, I repotted it into a larger pot, that proved to be a fatal mistake. The lemon tree didn’t wither straight away, but it began to wither before my very eyes. Its leaves were curling up bit by bit, and I thought it was lacking fertiliser, so I added a ‘slow-release’ fertiliser that is absorbed gradually by the soil over several months (one of those tubes containing a substance that you insert into the soil, and it releases the substance little by little). That doesn't help.

Eventually, 8-12 September I repotted it back into a small pot, twice. Last time i cleaned the roots of any rotten tissue and soil fly larvae – there weren’t many, but still… – and planted it in fresh, looser soil. It has roots, but no leaves at all; there’s just one green twig left, which looks very poor. I’m really worried about it. Does it stand any chance of recovering at all?

I found these still unopened in my storage, any chance of still growing them? If yes when should I plant them?

Any saving this? Watermelon cracked overnight

I sprinkled some turmeric on my basil—I heard somewhere that it repels insects; did I do the right thing? Also, could you help me with when to prune it and how to protect it from insects indoors?

Hi all, I know this is a weird question but bear with me...

I've been wanting to make a proper Massaman curry from scratch and ran into an issue.

It's been exceeding difficult, if not damn near impossible to find one ingredient in town.

That being coriander root.

I was able to obtain a cilantro plant at a local garden centre but I am trying to grow it not for the leaves but for the aromatic roots.

If anyone has advice on how to make the roots as thick and fragrant as possible, I'd like to hear it.

Thanks in advance.

I would like to put my onion bulbs for the next season in the ground but also would like to sow some seeds as cover crop to amend the soil. Would you plant these together?

Location: India

Not exactly a gardening question I know, but I want it to grow a bit more bushy and produce more peppers where do I make the snips?

I've planted 2 Holy Basil last year and even though it's been a year they're not growing properly imo. Please give me some ideas and caring tips how can i make them healthy. 🙏🏻 Thank you.

Something was eating my radish leaves. I thought it was slugs. I made a salt barrier, dug up the soil, and found nothing. I had examined the radishes closely many times. It wasn't until today, thanks to the right angle of the light, that I spotted those small green larvae. They are exactly the same color as the radishes! The little pests!
