Not an amazing yield or anything, but pretty pleased to have ANYTHING from an off season first attempt at potatoes

Who else is late in the game and is *buying* starts instead of growing your own under your grow lights because you haven't set them up in time this year? 🙋

What’s your favorite (personal) garden photo?

I obsessively take a ton of pictures of my garden every year, usually just for my own reference. But sometimes I take one I just really love. This is my fave pic from last year (and maybe all time fave). The cat just knows, ya know? Do you have a favorite picture of your garden? Would love to see it!

Flowers that grow in both Ukraine and Massachusetts

We have new neighbors who are Ukrainian and I thought it might be nice to plant some flowers or flowering shrubs that grow there over here in our yard so they can look over and maybe see something of their country.

Anybody know of Ukrainian varietals that will grow here?

Spent 30$ on soil and the bricks were free! The lower bed has a mix of stones with varying degrees, but ended up making it work with 2 to spare.

How did I do? My wife is pleased.

Since I saw many fellow dandelion lovers on this sub i thought you would all fancy a pic of my dandelion that lives in the same pot as my olive tree for almost 10 years now.

I built a little greenhouse!

After seeing the little greenhouses some people made on this subreddit from last year, I decided to design and build my own.

I saw some people that had entirely pvc pipe frames and were worried about them maybe blowing down. I attached mine to a wood frame, but I also filled the pvc pipe with sand.

I can grow a few hundred seedlings in here!

I guess I’ll just have to put fencing around these fig trees that deer supposedly don’t eat…

Late winter blooming shade loving, long lasting flowers that rabbits and deer avoid. Dare I call it a perfect plant?

Do I just remove this whole plant

I swear this was not here yesterday and just noticed right now while watering. I looked it up but hoping someone can confirm that this is rust fungus? What in the world! Really thought this plant was thriving. Should I just trash the whole thing out of my raised garden bed?

Forgotten potatoes are now an alien life form - how to proceed?

tl;dr can/should I try and plant some of these babies alongside my new starts?

If it hadn’t snowed yesterday, I would have been getting potatoes in the ground today… instead I stayed inside and did a pantry inventory, which is how I discovered this…

It’s not that I didn’t know the potatoes were in the pantry… and it’s not that I didn’t know they were capable of this… but after two months of nagging the spouse about eating pantry potatoes rather than buying, I game up and I guess just selectively “forgot” - only to get a bit of a start when I started pulling things out out!

I have never personally encountered this, so I’m looking for advice on what to do with these fellas. Plant? Eat? Compost? Bonus points for any advice that also passive-aggressively screams “I TOLD YOU SO” at my spouse…

I recently inherited a house with a big garden, but I’m not an experienced gardener myself. What would you plant in or on this archway with pots? I’m Zone 8a.

It’s probably about time to pot up… Had a little air temp deficiency a few days ago in my grow room. And some leaves have brown or purple ish spots. Should I wait? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

My 2.5 days old cucumber sprout 🥹

It’s my first time gardening (I keep sowing seeds and the rate at which stuff grows both excites and terrifies me) — but this lil gherkin cuke and his 6 buddies takes the cake.

I put them in wet paper towel for 12 hours and stuck em in the soil on Friday 2am. It’s now just Sunday 3:30pm and this is how big he’s gotten!!

I’ve spammed my friends and family enough with seedling updates so I turn to you guys to share my proud mama moment to give them a break lol

Tho still plenty of time for me to f something up and kill them 😔🙃🙃

Anybody have any idea what this is?

We very recently bought this house and I’m now getting around to cleaning up the yard. Anybody know what plant is growing up this trellis? I included a picture of what I think is a seed pod at the end which could help with ID.

I’m not sure if it is alive, the branches are dry and snap easily and there are no buds or signs of life on it.
