Yay! I ordered my feeder and ant trap yesterday, should be here tomorrow :). I'll get it set up next weekend near the tiger lilies. Until I am able to get some of the perennials mentioned by the Mass Audubon! I like thoooose! And they are on the list by the Mass Audubon! I'll have to see if I...

:lol: I actually did a Google search and found the Mass Audubon has an entire page on their site for hummingbirds! They also have a bunch of recommenced flowers for attracting them! Here is the list: Great plants to attract hummingbirds to your garden include: bee balm (Monarda), native...

Hello there! I received a prickly type cactus pup from a friend and also a few Christmas cactus clippings from my aunt. I live in the basement with minimal lighting. I have an elaborate set up for my seedlings, but do not plan on keeping that set up year round. Looking for lighting suggestions...

I've read about this and have even seen some red feeders. I've also seen other feeders that claim to attract the birds. I like the way the red antique style feeders look. What do you think of those? I want to hang a ant trap above the feeder too. I had no idea! Good info! Perhaps it's wise for...

Great info, thanks! Would "RAW" brand be a good choice? What kinds of flowers do they prefer? I'm growing a few varieties of lilies. thanks again! h

Hey there! I live just north of Boston in a city called Woburn. I'm interested in setting up a humming bird feeder, but not even sure if they are in my area. Any ideas or suggestions? kthanks h

I have everything in a seed starting mix

Mid-late April based on what I've read. I think I'm in zone 6a. April 15th was one of the estimated last frosts. But it snowed today lol.

Thanks! I'm transplanting those into pots today. What are your thoughts on the others? Particularly the wax beans, sunflowers, and watermelon?

Here are this mornings photos. I'm afraid my wax beans and sunflowers are getting leggy? I don't understand why though, the lights have been about 3-4 inches above them (I adjust the height as they grow about every couple days). I'm worried they are getting so tall, they affect the other plants...

Lol it's not terrible, but there's a lot of it. How do I get rid of some of it and contain the rest?

I have two types of weeds I've been battling in my garden area. I think one of them is some sort of violet? Not sure what the others are. Can you help me figure out what they really are and how to get rid of 'em? kthanks! H

Hi there! I one of my work plants is a Bromeliad, pictured here :). It doesn't seem to be growing. I'm watering once a week, soil holds moisture pretty well. Tag says 1-2 hours of indirect sunlight a day. It's in my desk about 15 feet away from a whole wall of north facing windows. It's...

Haha!

I'm just taking it all in and trying different things to see what works :). You guys are really great, and so willing to help! It's much appreciated by people such as myself just starting out. I'm so very excited to be learning so much! But it's also a little intimidating at the same time lol...

Sweet, thank you so much! I really appreciate all the knowledge here :)

Are we talking about both the impatiens and the peppers? Or just one or the other?

I have no basil, but I do have impatiens and marigolds. I'll keep you abreast on their progress and maybe you can help me decide when to trim :). I literally have no idea what I'm doing lol. And for the peppers, I grew them from purchased plants last year. So you're saying, when they start to...

Thank you so much! And boy, are you right! I only had my first garden last year. I'm a full blown addict now. Over the fall and winter I also got into house plants lol. I have them everywhere. In my room, at work... it's getting out of hand :ep.

Baahahaha, I know right!? I know I have too many right now :). I am actually planning on giving some of them away and bringing some (tomatoes and peppers at least) to work in buckets :). I almost went with four beds, but I didn't want to overwhelm myself. I planted a ton of seeds because I was...
