I’m more than a little angry at our home owner’s association’s community garden coordniator. I applied for a plot 2 months ago, got the confirmation and general location a week later, so I started my seeds in those Jiffy Greenhouses with the little peat pellets. Since then, it’s been HELL trying to get the plot [...]

Cut for slightly large photos. The neigbhors’ peony, taken over the fence: One of mine in the backyard flowerbed (pardon the ants ;) ): I think peonies are actually more visually interesting as they bloom rather than after. There are a few in full bloom already, but I opted for the ones that are not [...]

And here they are. It rained about three inches in the past three days so everyone is a little waterlogged. I figured I had better get these pics before they completely keel over. Black spot is going to be bad this year, I can tell. The little rose is called a “carpet rose” It’s been [...]

Hii I’m Iona and I am from Scotland :D I am staying with my granny until September when I go to uni. Here is the room I am staying in. Sorry about the poor quality, I used my DSi to take the pictures :(. Also got a few pictures of my room at uni, loved [...]

 I was just wondering if anyone knew where to find a Skins poster? As in the British TV show. I’ve looked all over the net and can’t find one and I’d love to have one for my room.  Thanks in advance!

They’re are both in five gallon buckets, sitting in a spot that gets plenty of sun (pretty much from dawn until late afternoon), and I’m watering them well every morning. They’ve grown well so far and have produced flowers, but the leaves are not starting to get crunchy with some bottom ones starting to turn [...]

Once upon a time, there was a tiny little spring of a rose. It was ordered from a catalog. When it arrived at its new home, it was only about 6″ tall – including the root. It was planted and fussed over and by the end of the season had about four inches of growth [...]

I have a Lemon lime dracaena with one or two leaves that have brown spots on them. Aside from the tip of the one leaf in the photo, all leaf tips are healthy and not brown. Recently repotted with fresh soil in case there was a salt buildup, I keep it under a florescent light. [...]

Little white stars… I found these cute little succulents (they are five little plants planted togeter) on the roadside when each plant was about the size of a fingernail. As you can see they’ve grown quite a bit, and just today I discovered that they’re in bloom. That’s my paw to the left to give [...]

To all of you who are into gardening, what advice can you give me for caring for rosebushes? I tried to Google it, but the info I was finding was a little scattered and confusing to me, because I know nothing about roses. When we moved into our house, there were about four rosebushes in [...]
