Garlic time, one last thing to plant before winter comes .. Here are some German white garlic I got last summer

Freeze warning for the overnight which means today was an everything must go type of situation. Then onto tuber storage the rest of the weekend…

In the meantime, I’m enjoying being surrounded by blooms for the last time this season and missing them already! ☺️

Nothing to see here except some cosmos that have a mind of their own 😂

Next year I’ll be sure that when I toss a seed packet around to dig them a little deeper so the wind doesn’t threaten to uproot them.

100% from seed. They are currently at their peak. Sharing some pix

started from seeds. finally blooming. but now temperature dropped yesterday.

MM

Now how in the heck do you clean them?!?

hello! recently bought our first property & the owners left this bamboo plant alongside a few other shrubs at the front of the house. would anyone be able to tell us what type it is? should we be concerned about it affecting the house/having crazy hidden roots? im clueless on what type it is, apologies if this is a stupid question! thank you gardeners! (located in england, north yorkshire)

These were planted next to purple carrots and I'm wondering if maybe they cross-pollinated or something? I didn't think that was an issue with beets so maybe it's something else. They definitely aren't carrots because the carrots have green foliage. We had a pretty wet summer so I don't think water was the issue either but I could be wrong.

Any ideas on what went wrong are welcome!

Hi, just found this strawberry in my garden. Why does it have leaves instead of some seeds? 😂

I have a vine desperately trying to make fruit, but critters keep eating the baby melons. Does anyone have experience with these clear fruit molds? I don't care what shape they are, but if a plastic bubble will prevent the critters from eating them they'll be worth every penny after awhile.

I picked up this plant up in early July as a 6 inch pot. I have always had ‘Hot Lips’ Salvia before and it is great to draw in the Hummingbirds to my yard. I love the salmon-peach and cerise- pink bicolor flowers and it has been in bloom nonstop since July.
Hummingbirds love this one as well as do honey bees. It was a shortlist contender for the RHS Chelsea plant of the year 2025, and I can see why. Drought tolerant once established, prune back lightly in spring to shape. Deer tend not to mess with it. Bought a second one since it preformed so well. This is a winner! Hardiness down to -5°C - 10°C 41°F - 50°F. May appreciate a dry mulch layer or protection in freezing icy climates. Ideal for front garden borders and rockeries, patios or containers. Hybridizer: Stuart Roycroft.
Summer/ Heat Tolerance Rating. Thrives in full sun, loves warm to hot summer conditions, and preforms well through extended heatwaves. Afternoon shade helps with low-desert summer heat. Water more often in these conditions.

That's my dried ghost pepper for scale.

I recently visited Italy and noticed that a lot of balconies had various kinds of flowering vines/bushes lining the edge of the balcony railing(like the one in this picture from the internet). These looked very beautiful. My location is Delhi, and I would like to grow something similar in my balcony. Can someone suggest:

1. What plants are best for growing in the Delhi region? I prefer something that flowers most part of the year and easy to maintain.
2. Are these grown by mending a single vine or multiple plants?

Helped my father pick all of the peppers before the frost.

There are probably still 2x this amount of peppers still on the Tobasco plant in various stages of ripening, it's still flowering as well. It's like it doesn't know that frost is soon. I honestly might dig it up and overwinter it because of just how crazily it has produced.

Hi Everyone!

Just dropping some of my Blooms since bringing my Hibiscus inside for the cold seasons. Even my propagated babies are blooming at only a couple inches tall.

Enjoy!

I planted these carrot seeds in February. They were in a five by five raised bed filled with about six inches of fully processed compost on top of native soil in dappled sunlight. The compost is a combination of cardboard, garden and kitchen scraps, lawn clippings and partially composted straw from my chicken coop using the deep litter method. They were watered all season on a schedule. Why are they so tiny (large seed packet for scale). Any tips or tricks are appreciated.

Edit: I have decided that the problem can be fixed by building a dedicated carrot bed. I rotate my beds every year and this was the first year growing them in this bed. I think, after reading all your comments, that the problem is that the compost isn’t sandy enough, held too much water at the top and that the nutrients are out of wack in that bed. Not to shamelessly plug my be vlog, but if any of you want to see the rest of my set up it’s on YouTube as a True Folk Bespoke. Maybe you guys can help me with other opportunities in my garden that I’m missing! Thank you all for all the tips. Also, the mods in this sub are STRICT! The number of removed comments was wild, but I could still see them and found them very humorous.
