garden

Hello! I am from just outside of Grand Rapids in Michigan (zone 6a). I have been growing fun beans for several years, but just became aware of this forum recently. I'm looking to grow anything colorful and interested in expanding to more things that might be native or unique to Michigan (like...

Hello guys, this is my new design i made for gardens and cats lovers, what do you think of it?

Hello guys, what do you think about this design

Good evening! I bought a raised bed last year that has two 4'x4' sections, one side of it is filled with strawberries, the other side never got used because my garden was elsewhere however, I did add garden soil to the vacant side. The neighbors have about 12 cats (not joking) and they decided...

Good afternoon! I had my first successful vegetable garden, however, it was at a friends house who had a huge garden, as she moved elsewhere. This year I don’t have that opportunity so my husband is building me a bunch of garden beds and I’m making use of my small backyard. I have a large...

O We’ve always had compost going, but as our garden is growing we needed more! And having 6 people in our house, we’re certainly creating enough usable scraps. I had a lot of help from my step-son who was the only one of the kids into this. We collected free wooden pallets from a store...

Hello all, Getting my seeds ready for starting in a couple of weeks. I was curious to see what everyone else is planting, mainly organic seeds. I’m looking to expand our garden more this year away from the basics for our “homestead”. Jalapeños, tomatoes (many varieties and sizes), herbs, squash...

Just checking if there are any other nearby residents planting seeds to start this winter. I was curious when you start the seeds indoors and when are you transplanting outdoors? Thanks!😸

God has really given a wonderful gift this year...a new project! He gave me SHEEP. :weee I'd had them before but it's been some years since then and I never dreamed of having them here, as we have no fencing and really had no desire to spend money for fencing. But, sheep came into the...

Hello all! I have had a vegetable garden for the past 5+ years and am now starting a flower garden for the first time. I can't wait to read all about it on here and I will definitely have questions!

So I grew up gardening next to my pop in a 25x50 garden plot, we had blueberry bushes and huge old scuppernong vines. We had peonies next to the house, a few rose bush/trees(?) And a couple dogwoods. My favorite was our birch and magnolia trees. Fast forward to present day, about 16-18years...

Normal plant. Slightly purple-tinted plant. So, I got these plants for free. They were discolored when I got them, and most of them have came out of it. These plants are next to each other. I think it is probably a nutrient deficiency of some sort. Any ideas on what is wrong?

2018 Garden Plans Garden dreamin' yet? I am, even though last year's garden was the worst in our gardening history, I've gotten my second wind and have a renewed hope(that's what gardener's live on, isn't it?)for the next planting season. I've switched to hay instead of wood chips, so...

Well we finally got moved from that rat infested place. We didn't even keep our sofa and loveseat for fear we would bring along a hitchhiker but took them to the dumping station. Our house here has a large backyard. There is a good size raised bed in the back (12x12 approximately) but it is...

Didn't see a thread about them in a search here, so thought I'd make one. I've never really used many insecticides on the garden or orchard, though I've been known to use sweet lime dust on taters or cukes for keeping off certain pests and I once tried a soapy water spray. Other than that...

Anybody got new plans for the new garden season? Tell all about it! Would be interesting to see, at the end of the season, how your garden plans all worked out, did you accomplish what you had planned, did it all go awry and why, and if they are worthy of repeating in following seasons...

Here a couple pictures of my planted aquarium. During the winter here in Indiana I will just set in front of my aquarium and read a book or anticipating summer. The bright lights just make me feel better.

....would smell as schweet! Planted a new rose bush this evening. Now, I'm not one that has ever fooled with growing roses and such, I never had much luck with them. We have one rose here that can't be killed and blooms all year and even after frost, but I don't know the name or type. We...

...but do they really taste that much different that one would get all these different varieties? Or do they just get those varieties so they can say they are growing all these varieties? Was visiting a UK garden site and they have more names for tater varieties over there than you can shake...

...can this be done in Zone 5B-6? I'd love to do this, have always wanted to try it, but don't know if I'd be throwing money away in doing it. I'd be planting Candy onions and have read it can be done, but would love to hear from someone who has actually done it. Just read on the Burpee site...
