I have not grown that before. Thanks for the tips! I can't grow lavender. I think it is so pretty.

Looks great! Must be happy! I'm growing butternut squash this year for the first time. Mine is up and growing but no bloom yet. My other squash are blooming. I love to hear the bees happily buzzing in those big blooms.

Thank you! Still sort of new to growing garlic. I've only grown hard necks one time. The scrapes were yummy! Bulbs were small? Could have been me? It's already getting hot here. Mine had started to lay down. Then 2 days of rain when I had time to dig. I was pleased it didn't rot.

I watered flowers and picked blueberries today. I got my garlic dug this week. I decided to plant too late to order so I just picked up some grocery store soft neck. It was planted last Oct. I think it did okay. Some got pretty big. I noticed my banana tree had a bloom. It's never bloomed...

I wish I could have tulips that would come back. In the past I planted some of the Darwin Hybrid tulips. They came back a couple years but got smaller until they disappeared. We just do not have long cold spells to keep them going. This past winter was not cold enough for my peonies. I only got...

Some call Datura moon flower. It grows as a shrub. There is another plant also referred to as moon flower. I think it's botanical name is Impomea alba. This one is a vine in the morning glory family. It's flower looks just like the white datura and smells good too. Last year I planted the...

Yes it is hallucinogenic and can be toxic. I plant these far away from the chickens. They are in an area where the deer and rabbits destroyed all my hosta. They do not even sniff these. The butterflies, bees and hummingbirds love them. It is amazing the number of common garden plants are toxic.

My lace cap hydrangea is blooming. Years with a late frost it does not bloom so I am very happy to see it this year. More daylilies are blooming. Datura smell so good. You can smell them across the yard in the evening.

Saw this working in the yard yesterday. I did not see a variegated one yet. It's a weed so I know it's coming. Pretty blue flowers and there is my finger. 😆

I planted some pickling cucumbers seed this morning. Pole green beans are showing a lot of new growth. Purple hull peas have filled in the row in front of the green beans. I picked more blueberries and a Black Krim tomato. I tucked in some wayward tomato vines. I'll probably have to add...

First one may be Virginia Spiderwort Looks like what I have coming up in a few places. Grows really fast, has blue flowers and sometimes shows variegated leaves. Pretty but spreads invasively.

Thanks!

I wanted to dig my garlic yesterday but unexpectedly had to go out of town. Nothing bad but it still took all day. We had a storm last night and getting more rain now. :he The garlic is a soft neck with outer leaves brown and starting to flop over. I've only grown garlic a few times. 🤔Should...

This morning I tied up the tomatoes and found a small one starting to color. What a surprise but most things seem to be a little early this year. I also picked more blueberries. In the greenhouse my petunias are starting to bloom. It got warm today. I'm pooped.

I've had a problem with earwigs this year. They come out at night to do their damage. My area I use to harden off starts was infested. I saw online to make earwig traps with fish oil from canned fish. I do not use any fish packed in oil so bought a can of mackerel. (cheapest). Put the oil in a...

I'm sorry about your friend. The flowers are beautiful! I'm sure your friend will love them. Look at all the eggplant! They look great! Sorry I can not I'd your plant but I'll bet someone here can.

I need to try this! Thanks! I've got tunneling everywhere this year.

Pick them at a size you like to eat and the plant will make more. If they get overly ripe they are not as tasty and the seeds will be larger. If the plants start making lots of seed they generally stop flowering as much and sometimes die. If you keep picking they keep flowering to make fruit...

Yesterday it got rather hot and humid. I watered the garden and all the recently planted flowers. I also picked more blueberries. I've picked a couple quarts so far and lots more green berries yet to ripen. Looks like we will have a good blueberry year. :fl Came in to cool off and found a...

Look online or locally for a pack of seeds. They come up and bloom quickly. They will make small tubors which you can dig and save if you grow one you really like. I really like the collarette type. Most of these show 2 colors on each bloom. The solid colors are beautiful too. Sorry yours...
