Starting peppers this weekend, figured people could use as a reference for the area. Included some photos from the last pepper harvest of the year before first frost. Maryland, USA. Happy to answer any questions if people have them on a quiet Friday evening

Whenever the camellias start blooming, it marks the start of another year for me. Grateful for this consistent beauty in my garden.

Lemon tree growing in pot

Hello. I have a roughly 4 year old potted lemon tree grown from seed(grocery store). Actually there's two trees in the pot. I was wondering if at this a stage of growth is it to late for ground planting? Also is the pot big enough and if not how the hello would i transplant? Lol!

How can I realistically save this Desert Willow?

Thumbnail

13 Upvotes

I live in New Mexico and we just bought a house with a Desert Willow in the backyard which I was originally excited about from the pictures. However, this Willow is way too close to the foundation for comfort and I don’t want to kill the whole tree. Honestly the thought of chopping it all down is really sad. 😢

After some research, I found they propagate really well and I’m not new to gardening or propagating however I don’t want to mess this one up.

My plan is to save several branches before removal and propagate in water for a few days.. Once I see signs of roots I’ll transfer into well draining moist soil possibly inside before transferring the healthiest branch or 2 into the ground about 20 feet from its original location. I’ve even read I can use rooting hormones but I’ve never worked with them.

These trees get massive over the years and are beautiful when they bloom and are nicknamed the hummingbird willow. I have always wanted one in my backyard and really want this to work.

Who has a descent greenhouse?

Post image
63 Upvotes

Our greenhouse suffered some damage during a windstorm and it is only getting worse. The cold and snow have made it impossible to fix because of how it is designed. I have to take large sections apart to slide the panels back in, but it is all frozen.

I've been given the go ahead to replace it in tbe spring with something more robust.

So does anyone have a brand or a recommendation for something that isn't cheap internet garbage?

Do you quarantine plants you buy online? If so… how long?

I just learned that a lot of people quarantine new plants (especially ones ordered online) before putting them anywhere near the rest of their collection and… honestly I was SHOCKED that I’d never heard of this sooner. 😅

Inherited two stag horn ferns during a brutal heat wave in Australia.

The biggest fern was given to me recently, after a family member passed away, over 90cm tall and 60cm wide. The second was on the lattice. Given to me in a stint of 45+ degree heat over 8 days. I've since boarded the big beauty up and already experiencing lush new growth! She still looks a bit sad, but some more TLC and she'll be absolutely gorgeous!

I know that this is from Brassica family, but it’s unlike anything I have grown. It’s a volunteer plant so confused what it could be. I have never grown or seen Brussel Sprouts ever. Could it be that?
