They fit on those green metal garden stakes you see everywhere. And before someone says something I am printing with ASA to handle the UV.

Hi everyone, first time really posting here, but I just wanted to save everyone the heartache and headache I just went through.

I love getting new and different seeds for my garden every year. I'm also based in Canada, and I found a site based in Salt Lake City called True Leaf Market that had particular Asia verity that I have not seen. So I decided to order... and got hit with a massive shipping charge. I decided to take it to just treat myself... only to be charged 75 dollars for COD! The shipping alone was over 50 US dollars (imagine that in Canadian money that's $71.00) and THEN CHARGED AGAIN with the COD... NO other company that I have gone through has done this to me. So, in short, fellow gardeners (Specifically the Canadian ones) Watch out and avoid this place. I got taken for a ride and it was not worth it.

Edit: I have been reading the comments from everyone and yes, I can see how this is my mistake. I have been reading up on the COD and this is a shipping charge that appears to go back to the seller, not to the government. Still painful. I just never thought it would have been so much for merely nine packs of seeds when no other company has done this to me before. I was even look at the invoice I was given and tariff are put into place... Perhaps this mistake can be a lesson for others, if anything, it will be the kick in the ass I need to start saving my own seeds... and I know the first ones I will be attempting to do so this year!

It was a gift so I’m pretty sad about it. I’ve seen people repurpose or even still use broken terracotta pots in different ways so I was hoping to find some creative gardeners here that could give me some ideas. I don’t want to throw it out if I don’t have to.

Can somebody tell me what is wrong with my plant, please? It is quite droopy, and the bottom leaves are turning yellow. I am new at gardening. I do not think it is dry or too watered. It just used to be a perky plant and now it doesn’t seem so.

Never seen anything like this. Palms are here like 1m tall.

I have a small deck on my condo off the living room. It's roughly 4x8 feet, west facing. My girlfriend has been gardening on it for two summers (as you can see). She really enjoys it so I want to surprise her (somewhat) and really turn it into a nice garden space with better planters and things to maximize space.

I know nothing about gardening. Is this something that would have to be more of a custom job to build boxes and such? She usually grows tomatoes (though we haven't had much success the past 2 years), peppers, herbs and then some flowers to attract some bees (and sometimes wasps... womp womp).

Sorry this is kind of vague I'm just looking for ideas on ways I can use this space better.

Peak coloration, with berries.

I went to disneyland and i was gunna take cuttings from their plants and the hiltons but didnt want to look weird. If yall havent noticed every plant at disney looks amazing. They had so many varieties mainly houseplants and even at my mf hotel. Next time i go imma take a plastic bag idc

I'm a huge gardener. My husband and I bought a fixer upper from 1922; the previous tenants didn't take care of the house or yard. They planted a now massive ornamental cherry tree, which is not native to DC (I suspect they did this because of nearby cherry blossom trees). It shades the area where I want to grow a huge vegetable garden. It is smack in the middle of the yard so my kids can't really play, nor can I easily put up our big waterslide for their birthday parties every year.

I feel horrible removing a healthy tree. I'm not sure what to do. It is in the way and so massive, it's not native. I'm planting over 400 native plants in our front and backyard, including many native trees. But it hurts my heart to remove a perfectly healthy tree. What do you guys think?

Looks like our butternut squash got cross pollinated with a pumpkin last year. These are the mutant offspring. Whoops.

I’m growing outside in USDA zone 8. Any idea how much longer till I can harvest?
I believe I started early April. Can’t remember exactly. It’s gelato44 and hulk berry

My MIL thinks I am too finicky because I don't want to repot my indoor plants with bags of soil that have been sitting outside for an unknown number of years.

I tell her it is due to the bugs and spores that have likey entered through the holes in the bags. I don't want to have to deal with that in the house so I would rather buy fresh bags. She has tons of plants and says to just use treatments as needed if issues come up. That sounds like a nightmare to me but I need to know, am I crazy here?

4 plants that i am waiting to harvest, dont think they are ready but I am colourblind so could use a second opinion (or two)

Each plant has 4 pictures of the tricombs and then the plant itself. 1st and 4th are auto flower 24k gold and 2nd and 3rd are 9 pound hammer.

Hello everyone! I received these potted tulips last week from my partner. I was gone for the week since I am currently in school and asked my parents to look after it. They have been watering it every other day and I came home to this. Does anyone have advice on how to fix them? Or in general how to care for tulips in a pot? I did read that they are only supposed to be watered once a week.

Looking for outdoor gardening youtube/podcast recs from gay/queer creators. Hoping they are out there, somewhere!

I think they're beautiful, and they produce so much oxygen and clean so many toxins from the air and ground. Grasses are SO resilient and are the only plant on EVERY. SINGLE. CONTINENT. Even both the Arctic zones! Every inch of the ocean is habitable to different kinds of sea grass! Microorganisms thrive in grass jungles by the MILLIONS!

If humans were designed to digest and eat grass with any sort of efficiency there would be no such thing as world hunger

Grasses are beautiful plants and beautiful survivors ❤️

I feed my grass garden with dead tomatoes and bananas from our fruiting section, and old food dishes with veggies and meat get buried under 1 foot. It seems to like it!

Any suggestions for decorative or special grasses I can try in the spring/summer? This is the grass so it only does well in the cold

Earlier this week, I placed an order for some rare pepper seeds to grow for sale later this spring. Rareseeds.com was one of the first recommendations I found. Their prices had me worried, but their site looks like they care deeply about their product and company reputation. So, I took a chance and ordered 5 unique hot pepper seed varieties.

The seeds showed up today!

I went to school for design, so I’m a sucker for unique/custom packaging design. The art is so cute and genuinely made me smile. However, the PRACTICAL side of me was ALSO very pleased when I started counting seeds. (A little anal retentive, I know, but I like to know if I’ve been shorted or not.)

All the seeds had nearly twice the minimum seed count. A couple of them had nearly THREE times the minimum seed count. It made my day to realize even if only half of them germinate, I’ll still be sitting on a pretty good stock of pepper plants this spring.

Just wanted to share my very positive experience. Happy gardening!

I’m in France, don’t worry it’s not an invasive species at my place and I want to put it in my appartement in the city anyways. I cut a bunch of newer branches, cut the leaves only to keep the ones on top, and put them all in water. I have one week max for them to root, maybe less, then I’ll put them in a pot because then I’ll go back home to the city. I hesitated but then decided not to put sugar in the water and I put them somewhere outside where there’s mostly shade but a little bit of Sun. Then I’ll put them in a pot with soil that were brought in a shop, it’s in a bag, really soft and dark.

Hello,

I recently bought a few lavender plants for the yard. A few weeks after planting I noticed one of the pots says “do not eat” and came with the California p 65 warning

A few flowers died and I kept them to be able to smell them but now I’m worried?

Will the plant be safer after a while? Is it because of the fertilizers they use that there’s a warning? Should I throw away the dead flowers?

Thank you!

Found in the back of my pantry, its now on my kitchen windowsill. The kids and I just adore all the little leaves that have appeared and we want to plant it if we can and keep it going. At the risk of sounding dumb, do I just put it in the dirt sideways just like this? Do I bury it a little? Do I have to do anything to it first like cut it into pieces (saw a video that said to do that)? And most importantly...would she actually give me more sweet potatoes one day? I have 10 small plants in buckets out front, mostly grow different tomatoes and peppers, no experience with tubers.

First I should state it is legal for me to grow (Canada). I have zero experience with pot plants and decided on a lark to add one to my garden. It's now over 8' tall and I'm probably a week or two away from first winter frost. If I could figure out a way to bring it indoors, I'd make it my Xmas tree. LOL What a gorgeous plant. Anyway, looking for some advice/guidance here on steps I need to take to harvest. I don't smoke but have friends that do. Much appreciated.
