Gardening

In the Redwoods these oxalis make a perfect carpet on the forest floor. I love growing them it reminds me of that

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!!

Another one.

It's been very rainy and humid this summer

I have a small lemon tree that was bought from a local grower and came with the extra bonus of an Asian Citrus Psysllid infestation. The tree is dead now and I'd love to get a new tree, but want to make sure I've done everything I could to prevent a new tree from getting infested by any Psysllid still in the area.

Is there anything I can do to treat my soil or surrounding plants to make sure those little buggers aren't going to keep coming back? I'm in California where the sale of IMIDACLOPRID products is banned, which was previously the primary treatment for this.

We live in southern Minnesota and want put some raspberry bushes in the backyard, being new to gardening should we wait until next spring or could they establish themselves well enough during the hot summer months to survive the winter without expert attention?

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.

Edit: I didn't notice that the image failed to upload. I have tried adding an imgur link.

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!

My garden has 3 core functions. Recreation and play, Growing vegetables and fruits, and givin nature more room. The so called Controlled Wildernes. I Love to see all the different species the are coming by. But i always want to make it better, especially the combination of space for family and nature. Ive got inspired by the book The Garden Jungle from Dave Goulson. It just gave me more ideas and motivation to protect the smal animals, and make the garden usefull for more. But what about you? What books, articles, documentary etc, did inspire or would give me some ideas to let nature have more space in af garden?

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!

I’ve got grubs in my vegetable garden. I looked into spraying nematodes to kill them, but I’m worried about it harming other bugs like butterflies, bees, and fireflies. Anyone have any experience with this? I don’t want to do more harm than good.

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.

Hatching another batch of peppers and starting cucumbers soon. You can follow me on TikTok under Deku Farms if y'all interested in more daily updates. I'm trying to be more active on lemmy 🙏🏽

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'm a bit behind on my pepper plants this season so im looking to catch up by planting more seeds this month, mainly from the grocery store bell peppers.

Some say they dont fruit or are bad, but honestly its worth a shot. Sounds like what Big Seed wants us to believe lol

I have more content on TikTok, Deku Farms if y'all care to follow 💚

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.
