Two weeks ago, I spotted tree tips starting to change. Today, there's much more clear evidence.

I'm going to enclose part of my porch for the cats. It's east-ish facing, 5+ feet off the ground. Morning sun only. I'd need a cat safe shrub, something that can live in a zone colder than mine, 7, and live in a large pot forever. Preferably evergreen, but not is fine, they may still climb it...

There's a chicken one, a herds one and a garden one. All seem somewhat connected. Is there one for design or art?? If not, I guess this is my art/design journal. 🤷🏽‍♀️ I saw this somewhere online and thought it looked easy enough to try and paint. Decided on a 5:3 ratio, but not where nor...

Looks like I don't have a general planting thread going. Husband ordered some pricey trees, without any planning. They sent 2 of one kind instead of one of each. Haven't heard back. I found an ad on FB for some cheap plants. We both managed to misread the ad, and after 2hrs driving, I decided...

Unfortunately, I can't make the rest of this as interesting sounding as the title. I have a 3 sided porch. Two sets of stairs, one on a low end, the other 10ft off the ground. House is on a bald mountain, so wind is always blowing. And the rocking chair is always rocking. I catch it all over...

Anyone grow them?? Best soil mix? Best seeds? Any tips?

Probably shouldn't drown the POW thread, so, I'll post here instead.

She fell out of the window earlier in the week. Guess it was tired of waiting for it's new custom made pot! 😅 Removed a few new pups from the rear and the ones that broke off from the fall, in water now. Idk what to do with those, toss or grow roots, give away? Soaked her in my sink for 1.5...

When is the best time to move these plants and split them? How wide do I dig, right under it or out by the "drip edge" so to speak? I have hostas, almost as old as I am, that I need to move. As well as a Purple false indigo, Baptisia something. Google says early spring, too late, or in the...

Strawberries coming up. Planned out what to do with the cloth grow bags DH bought. Looks like 5 won't be used. One for Strawberries. One for flowers in the other thread. Two for carrots. Five for potatoes. Two for chili peppers and Two for mild peppers. Four for cucumbers. One for carnation...

Starting again with trying to root cuttings. Got the white/purple rooting hormone powder bottle. And some vermiculite. Trying to get florist roses to root currently. Cut under leaf node, I think. No leaves on them. Contained to keep in moisture. On seedling mat to stay warm. What else do I...

Got 10 and 30 gal fabric grow bags. Cinderblocks to make a long "container" out of, open to ground below them, fill with dirt and plant in and in the wall cells. Can these plants grow and stay in these over winter? In just the blocks that connect directly to the ground or also the bags...

Didn't get all of them, but got some. I SHOULD of gotten this one. So pink! Last one...Maybe there's bulbs of it online?? Anyone know? But got a yellow one. I've seen this online! Had to get one. Almost got this one, but decided to wait... Some lilies, iris bulbs, some other type of...

Could use more hostas for my pond. But idk if it's a safe company, so many out there now! If you've done this deal, did all bits grow?

Was on a walk when Woofer vanished & suddenly started barking. Went through the overgrowth & discovered a fawn! He's not deer friendly, so I had to carry it behind a gate, out of reach. I hope it's a safe spot, at least he stopped barking at it. Does love to have their babies here. He killed a...

I've been searching for 4+ years, tried two separate orders of seeds, searched woods & FB, online was always sold out.... Then I saw them! Could only afford one, though. Suckers are terribly overpriced!

Don't want to spend so much at one time...So, which 2-3 would you get this year? I have TONS of yellow iris and one sad black gamecock. I want color! Narrowed it down to these seven. White has to be bought. Leaving spots for 2-3 more. Unless someone has these Louisiana varieties and can...

I've now seen two wild plants with it. One is a dock, the other I haven't IDed yet. I tried to pot the dock, but the dirt I used turned out to be heavy clay...🤦🏽‍♀️ Any ideas on what causes it? Could I pot them and use their seeds in hopes of creating variegated versions of them? Has anyone...

Pictures are backwards. I'm planting 2 trees per paddock for my sheep to have shade as I rotate them through. Have 9 paddocks currently, but 1st has two mature trees, 2nd has two medium willows, the 3rd has two young fruit trees and the 4th has a row of pine/cedar trees. So, 5 more paddocks need...

I've always heard autumn is when you plant trees, true? Do I need to water them? I have 7 willows & 3 mulberrys to plant. They are wee little things and not on a tall, bare trunk. Think bushy, wild, messy. Lol I'll have a few more next year to plant. Anyway, anyone have ideas for very cheap...
