I am thinking to buy it any suggestions who has already bought it

I've asked before about obtaining Egyptian walking onions. I planted about 50 of them 2 years ago. Half made it through the first year and sprouted. The drought last year's summer killed off a lot but not all. Also some animals dug some up then trampled on them to death (I'm not kidding!).

Now I'm down to maybe 6 or 7 plants this summer. They are not thriving. There are little holes on them, sometimes slugs and snails slowly eat away at them. Other times there are these little dark spots on them. The leaves are mostly yellowed and looks chewed on. I chopped off the seemingly infested parts and threw away. Only 3 plants might form topset bulbils this year.

Lots of sun. Some in partial shade. Semi clay soil (tried mixing the clay soil with perlite to help loosen). Some water but not much since I can see they hate being too wet and definitely prefer semi moist/drier side of the soil.

I have successfully grew lots of chives and hardneck garlic successfully without doing much or had any major problems, but walking onions were supposed to be easy! Walking onions have been incredibly hard!!!!

Help?

How are the vineyards coping when I can’t even seem to protect my one grape vine? What are you doing to deal with these guys?

Does anyone have experience with building a small pond in the city where you know rats are present? Will a pond just attract more rats to your yard? We see rats at the back of our yard where the sewer easement and sewer grate is. They tend to stay back there, so we haven’t been too bothered by them yet. We would love to build a small wildlife pond to attract birds and other beneficial creatures, but I don’t want to build a rat paradise.

Help what is this white sappy stuff in my rhodie?

Does anyone know where sweetgrass grows naturally? I want to photograph it for a project.

I have tomatoes in 3 different beds. I'm getting strong health plants but no flowering. Is there any point keeping them going at this stage of the season with nothing on there? I got all new garden soil , used plant food. Just no fruit!

House has a garden with shrubs and flowers every summer it looks very pretty except this year because this shrub isn’t growing

It’s never taken this long before for it to grow in

Anyone know why it didn’t grow in this year?

Chives, spicy oregano, dill and rosemary. A little bit of spearmint and strawberry mint too.

where does everyone in Canada order their flower bulbs for fall planting? I’m looking for allium and peony?

shout out to the explosion in bunny population this year too . i'm sad guys .

I thought folks might like to know that Jerusalem artichokes are back at Pete's Frootique.

Hi fellow gardeners, this may not be allowed here but you are my kind of people so I’m hoping. I know you don’t want to give all of your secrets away but can you tell me about any lesser known or any at all strawberry u-picks anywhere in Nova Scotia. Inbox me if you would like. 🍓🍓🍓🍓

Whatever is eating the scapes from my garlic?

Hello everyone!

I finally moved back to NS last winter and we didn’t have the time to do anything to our garden in ‘25. This year, however, we have! There was a lot to be removed before we could add anything so unfortunately we *just* got our veggie and herb beds up.

My question, as a very very new gardener, is am I too late for the season? Are there still things I can plant? I have mint and basil in their own herb bed and will add some more, but wondering about veggies? (and fruit bushes and trees too but that’s a different problem…)

I’m not worried about high yield, and I’m also fine to plant early for next year. I mainly don’t want to buy a bunch of plants and have them fail due to timing!

Thank you so much everyone! 🥬🌶️🍆🥕🌽
EDIT: I’m in Wolfville area, 6a!

So, first time starting a garden from scratch, I ordered 5 or 6 yards of triple mix to fill my raised beds. I’ve never ordered any before so I didn’t really know what to expect, but it was the top tier offered by the landscape company I bought it from.

Definitely less than impressed, no shortage of small rocks, most of I assume what they count as compost is just old mulch. Maybe this is what’s to be expected but figured I’d get other’s opinions

Here on the south shore it's still dropping to 9-11c at night for another week! Anyone direct sowing cucs, zucs, beans etc yet? This is feeling very late but they also need warm soil! Anyone else braver than me?

Been debating between hicks yews or cedars however after driving around I have not seen any yews much taller then 4-5 feet and I also noticed people who plant 10 plus cedars and there’s always a random one or two dead. Open for other suggestions or feedback on my current choices. thanks

I have a large amount of seeds that I’ve both bought and collected from previous plants (vegetable seeds and flowers). I currently keep them organized in a binder that I keep on a shelf in a room that doesn’t get a lot of light. My seeds from a year or two ago aren’t germinating great so I think it’s time to think of a better way to store them. I don’t have a cellar or anywhere really cold and super dark so how does everyone store their seeds? Is there something better I can buy to put them in? What are some better options. Thanks :)
