I'm in a Dilemma with my Sweet Potatoes
It's been raining all week and I found out a few days ago that there will be a frost for three nights starting tonight. I've heard that it's not good to harvest sweet potatoes when the ground is wet, but that a frost could damage the sweet potatoes as well.Which action is more harmful to the sweet potatoes? Should I dig them up now before it freezes, or wait til the ground dries which could potentially be after three nights of freezing?Thanks for any help!
Why is Pink and White Periwinkle/Vinca more 'wild' than other colors ?
I have other colors in my garden but pink and white grows as volunteer plants/self-sowing plant everywhere almost like a weed.Normal Colorshttps://ift.tt/T6ijUQu Colorshttps://preview.redd.it/qsqdzrlehpwb1.png?width=300&format=png&auto=webp&s=7e28ba28ddbf386da48b4092673202a817c422d5https://ift.tt/JXghRcQ
Can I grow cherry tomato Bush in a small pot?
New gardener! I'm growing cherry tomatoes but don't have much space in my garden. I'm growing them in am 8 inch diameter pot with enough soil in it. I was wondering if I can grow it in as small of a pot as that. (Preferably where I can easily carry the pot with the tomato tree to maybe indoors or into sunlight)Thank you!
New grass issue. Perhaps you can assist.
Hi there. I have cultivated this strip of grass from seed. Everything was perfectly fine a couple weeks ago, but as you can see in the pic a section on the tip of the strip has started to die off. The irrigation is automated and functions in 2 x 5 minutes cycles per day(23:00 and 11:00). I have tested the irrigation and I am getting double coverage. Does this look like it has been salted or poisoned? I can't help but feel my work is being sabotaged.https://ift.tt/uIgwF2j
I found two caterpillars and I want to take care of them.
Hello, not sure this is the best place to post . But my boyfriend bought me flowers last week and didn't know two cute caterpillars lived on their leafs. I like to keep the flowers from my boyfriend even after they dry. I found them wandering around near the flowers 20 minutes ago and I want to take care of them as i've seen a few people do it. If anyone can help me out, it'd be very appreciated!
Will a potted olive tree survive a Scottish winter?
Hello I live in Dundee I have a 5 feet tall olive tree that’s in a 40cm pot. Can I leave it outside through the winter? I got it in April it has grew about a foot this year but the trunk is still thin.
Survival of the fittest: Rosemary
I have a very windy and sunny roof garden with big plant pots in Central Europe. Even though I enjoy gardening I didn’t have time to really do anything in the last couple of years. The only thing that thrives at this point is the rosemary. I didn’t water it during hot summers and I never winterised it. I’m so proud of the little guy.As I don’t see my gardening time buget increase: what perennial plant would you recommend that will survive these poor conditions and treatment? I already know lavender (which I killed <\3) and sage are options. Are there others?
Superstitious or nah
My garden and home are suddenly being invaded by praying mantises. (Southern California resident) i know they are beneficial but I don’t want them inside. I’ve never seen these things in 30 years so Idk why the sudden influx? I don’t have any flowering/infested indoor plants but I’ve been getting a bunch of moths and mosquitoes. Am I about to have good luck or am I just letting these creatures live here rent free?
Seed sourcing
This is a speculative query - but is there such a thing as a company that will send you a batch of seeds according to what will grow best in your location?I live in the UK
Planting chestnuts to grow trees, can I do it or I'm nuts?
Hello everyone:) I found some beautiful chestnuts in the Italian mountains ( zone 6 or 5 ) and my thought was to try and plant them at home, zone 8 in the Po valley where only horse-chestnut grows ( said the person who refused to sell me a plant because the knew for certain, even I never attempted to, that the plant was going to die and tryed to convince me to buy a horse chestnut instead.) I said thanks very much but I I intend too eat my chestnuts. SO I gathered a few of them in the mountains but now I don’t know how to plant them, as anyone ever planted them from seed aka “chestnuts fruits “ how would you recommend I proceed ? - temperature I need to make them germinate- potting soil mix ecc.I would be so thankful since I’d love to try and have one or more chestnut trees on my farm.I’m a bit on the cannibal side since my surname is indeed chestnut in Italian but you guys don’t mind, right? lmao Thanks for any advice and happy harvesting:)
Questions to help regain my backyard after losing 3 feet of it to raspberry bushes.
Hello all,I have a wild unmanaged raspberry bush in my backyard. It has remained in its place from simply mowing the grass in front of the bush. This year however it took over 3 feet of the yard. My questions are: Can I simply cut the stem/branch/whatever they are called, at ground level? Will this contain the bush/give me my 3 feet back?Will the cut branch be a stepping hazard( are they strong enough to pierce a shoe?) How deep would I have to dig to prevent further spreading? My plans for next year are to trim bind and trellis them hopefully. Some are over 7 feet long and are too heavy to stand. They lay on the ground and rot. Thanks for your time and info.
Should they be brought in? (Temperature concern)
I have a potted tomato plant as well as a few other randomized potted flowers. I started this year so they’ve been outside all this time. However I live in Texas, so now that winter is approaching the temperatures are going to start dropping. I’ve read that 50 degrees and below would not produce any tomatoes, but my concern is if the plant would survive at all. I have a terrible green thumb so I’m rather attached and proud to have grown this plant so far along. Should I bring the tomato plant inside when the temperature starts to drop to those degrees? Or would it survive a winter outside? Not concerned on whether it sprouts tomatoes just yet. I just don’t want it to die, period. I am prepared to get watering pans to keep it properly watered, and by windows for sunlight.
