It was 86F yesterday, clear skies,hot, muggy. Now it's 31F and snowing! Virginia. What a place.... How about your area?

Last year, my crawlspace failed as storage, many potatoes started to mold and rot, fast. I still have survivors in a drawer in my fridge! DH hates that. Googled how to store them, yet again, and I really don't understand how a regular person in a modern house can create all of these...

I 🐸🩶💚:weee😍 grey/copes tree frogs! Found them as a teenager outside and that was that. Every other frog or toad sucks. Lol. They're so loud. So. Loud. But so cute. Anyway...tonight's cuties. About 20 of them, 1 female.

I've been digging up two wild flower plants and putting them in pots. Roots are very shallow, one has runners, also very shallow and weak. I won't be able to ID them once flowers are gone, so I've been moving them now. After care? Just water and shade? Then I have lots of mixed plants in...

Anyone have them? I made the mistake of showing DH awhile ago. Look what showed up today. Such an expensive temporary plant... Needless to say, I'll be trying to keep them alive indoors and get seeds. Raining, so no planted or glow pics yet. They're in the two 8ft planters and in the latest 4...

Bought several different ones and most rotted, these sprouting, but looks like they're working on rotting, too. Bulbs. Put in pots about Feb 26th. Unknown mix compost mixed with 🐰 💩. Most never sprouted. Some sprouting and seem to be dying. Wtf?

What are the chances the weather will stay above 50 at night?? I really want to plant the peppers, cukes and tomatoes...

Two weeks ago, I spotted tree tips starting to change. Today, there's much more clear evidence.

I'm going to enclose part of my porch for the cats. It's east-ish facing, 5+ feet off the ground. Morning sun only. I'd need a cat safe shrub, something that can live in a zone colder than mine, 7, and live in a large pot forever. Preferably evergreen, but not is fine, they may still climb it...

There's a chicken one, a herds one and a garden one. All seem somewhat connected. Is there one for design or art?? If not, I guess this is my art/design journal. 🤷🏽‍♀️ I saw this somewhere online and thought it looked easy enough to try and paint. Decided on a 5:3 ratio, but not where nor...

Looks like I don't have a general planting thread going. Husband ordered some pricey trees, without any planning. They sent 2 of one kind instead of one of each. Haven't heard back. I found an ad on FB for some cheap plants. We both managed to misread the ad, and after 2hrs driving, I decided...

Unfortunately, I can't make the rest of this as interesting sounding as the title. I have a 3 sided porch. Two sets of stairs, one on a low end, the other 10ft off the ground. House is on a bald mountain, so wind is always blowing. And the rocking chair is always rocking. I catch it all over...

Anyone grow them?? Best soil mix? Best seeds? Any tips?

Probably shouldn't drown the POW thread, so, I'll post here instead.

She fell out of the window earlier in the week. Guess it was tired of waiting for it's new custom made pot! 😅 Removed a few new pups from the rear and the ones that broke off from the fall, in water now. Idk what to do with those, toss or grow roots, give away? Soaked her in my sink for 1.5...

When is the best time to move these plants and split them? How wide do I dig, right under it or out by the "drip edge" so to speak? I have hostas, almost as old as I am, that I need to move. As well as a Purple false indigo, Baptisia something. Google says early spring, too late, or in the...

Strawberries coming up. Planned out what to do with the cloth grow bags DH bought. Looks like 5 won't be used. One for Strawberries. One for flowers in the other thread. Two for carrots. Five for potatoes. Two for chili peppers and Two for mild peppers. Four for cucumbers. One for carnation...

Starting again with trying to root cuttings. Got the white/purple rooting hormone powder bottle. And some vermiculite. Trying to get florist roses to root currently. Cut under leaf node, I think. No leaves on them. Contained to keep in moisture. On seedling mat to stay warm. What else do I...

Got 10 and 30 gal fabric grow bags. Cinderblocks to make a long "container" out of, open to ground below them, fill with dirt and plant in and in the wall cells. Can these plants grow and stay in these over winter? In just the blocks that connect directly to the ground or also the bags...

Didn't get all of them, but got some. I SHOULD of gotten this one. So pink! Last one...Maybe there's bulbs of it online?? Anyone know? But got a yellow one. I've seen this online! Had to get one. Almost got this one, but decided to wait... Some lilies, iris bulbs, some other type of...
