Gardening

There's so many! I tried to add more to this post but it took awhile to make it work so only one photo! The mint is doing well as well! But more importantly so many tomato flowers!!

It's been very rainy and humid this summer

Was away about a week. One carrot decided to grow super tall and looks like it will make a big flower. The carrot under isn't as big as it's brethern that I harvested. This is a new variety of carrot for me called "short and sweet". Never seen this with my other carrots.

4 out of the 5 bines are taking off, ones lagging a little behind the others. Planted 5 cascade hops rhyzomes around the middle of May.

I think this is the start of the very first tomato and I'm so unreasonably excited I managed to get from seeds to a tomato growing oh my god! It's so tiny still! But it's there!

Most of what is in the picture has grown over the last three years. And it's mostly on top of large rocks, the border of their bed.

Some of the tomatoes are doing....this. the leaves are withered like and crunchy. Not all of the plants, a number are doing just fine. The leaves in the photo are wet because it just rained although it has been extremely hot the last few days here in NJ. What silly thing am I doing wrong? Thanks!

I just planted the swamp milkweeds this spring. They were tiny little seedlings and now just a foot and a half tall and I already have monarchs! I feel like I should be standing guard over them.

A flower!!! I am closer to my goal of managing to grow a singular tomato!! Oh I'm so delighted!

One of the insects on the mint. Friend said ladybug babies? So spiky!

First time growing this variety and they're pretty tasty. Then again my taste buds are bland so the taste of these are extraordinary to me haha. I am really surprised how few of them csn be humongous while others are tiny. Either way, I grew too many that I can eat so I've been giving the excess away to family and friends.

Adding a little bit of beach theme on our terrasse. Three pots of Leymus arenarius, sandy garden earth, and a bit of white granite gravel.

Own picture but not own cultivation

One of the few pepper pods showing, bell peppers. I planted 5 to a box, with 3 of them being conjoined. I also added a vermicompost bin and to my surprise, the peppers have responded really well to that method as well as to my Amaranth + Basil.

I put about 10 new roses in the ground this year, and I’m so excited to see them bloom! I never really know what they will look like in real life or in my climate. This one is “Golden Mustard” and she’s a BABE.

Here, between the spring and summer flowers we have a few weeks with not a lot of nectar bearing flowers, so for the insects I let the columbines grow where they will in my garden, because while short-lived, their flowering fit exactly in this spot. Also they require little work, they will reseed themselves and grow where they like it.

My first time growing chilli plants. The seeds I collected from market chillis have come a long way since being planted in February!

My area's been getting pounded by thunderstorms and heavy rainfall (like 1"/hr) and luckily my plants have survived and it knocked off almost all of the aphids! My tomato plant is fruiting, I've got jalapeños, serranos, and bell peppers on the vine. The basil is going crazy and the rest of my garden is just doing great also :3

This is roughly the harvest every other day. Already have a gallon freezer bag full. No complaints here.

It's in some mix of cannabis soil I had, with 30% added compost.

Nothing too special, just some misting nozzles and some pvc.

Are they doing well? Well, they grew from when I planted them! They exist! Some do not exist anymore. Which is fine. If they all fruit I'm dead from canning. I'm happy with them!

Planted about 4 years ago, and gets dead headed every year. It started out as a multi coloured plant, down to just the one colour now.

I built a new bed this year and started some beans, tomatoes, and zucchini from seed. The beans were in blast off mode in the starter pots before I planted them, literally climbing my windows. The day I planted them in the bed, however, they started struggling and don’t seem to be recovering. I am at a loss what is going on here and hoping one of you kind folks can help me. Photographed is one of the leaves that seemes to just be curling up and dying. Please help!

Hi! I'm new to gardening (help lots with friends gardens but never had one myself) and was wondering what I could do with this below ground space outside my window :0

I've been growing these sunflowers for a little over half a year and I think I'm always going to have these in rotation. The birds and bees love these beauties as one gets drunk off the pollen while the other snipes bugs from above.

Pot is about 1 gallon, I've read that these types should be in a 5gal or even 10gal pot. I also haven't seen any issues with the plant so far; growing and fruiting like crazy. Should I transplant to a big pot or just leave it be for now?

I just transplanted this service berry tree a month ago. The top branch and new growth are starting to bend over. This area gets occasional high winds and I am concerned about the tree starting to look windswept (guess I chose the right username). I know I should remove the support pole at some point to allow the tree to build up it's strength against wind, but for now should I try to extend it up to hold the new growth straight? Will the overall growth still be straight even if the top branch is bendy?

Was able to pick enough for my dinner tonight.

I find it fascinating, but also a little unsettling, that I can moss leaves are one cell thick but I can still see them with the naked eye.

A pair of twins on the next bush over

The 1st flower wilted away....see it there in the left. The 2nd flower appeared and is much bigger and healthier. Waiting to see if I get any fruit here.

Happy Saturday all! I’m growing corn for the second year in my little raised bed and I’m trying it from seed this time. It’s mostly gone well and some of them are to the point I should cull them down to one sprout a spot, but I was wondering if it would be feasible to transplant the second highest stalk on each to fill in spots none of them sprouted from. If so, any tips on the process?

There's more photo's but I don't know how to share them.

Was so happy to see my sad, under-soiled tomato plant putting out flowers, but it's also attracted aphids! I'm too poor to even afford pesticides, and was planning on growing organic anyways, but I'm not getting any help with pest predators from the surrounding apartment environment (cropped lawn grass and dandelions)

Planted Pink Ladies along with Red California Poppy to bring some life to my front yard. I've grown tired of the mono lawns I've seen and wanted to spruce things up.

And that, right there, is why I garden.

So I bought some wildflower mixture, and they recommend to thin/blend with sand so you can see where you broadcast and go see it easier. So I took one step further and added clover as well.

They're a bit more leggy than I think is healthy, but hopefully repotting them will help.

It's been a while since I've grown anything. With everything that's happening in the world I decided to restart doing things for myself.

Spent the day playing around with little bolts to put this together. Should extend my growing window by a month, won’t be able to extend end of season I think though.
