Hello! Zone 8b, here. I have a potted Meyer Lemon tree that’s about 2 feet tall (not including the pot). Early this spring (I’ve only had it since then) it would flower, produce little pea-sized fruits, then they would yellow and drop off. I figured it was because it was still a little too cool [...]

Hi I wanted to put these up because I am moving in a few days & will be starting all over. I am glad to be going, but there are memories here as well. Hope you like. Simone & Desk Simone Sprawls My lamp My lamp in Howards End My lamp & the lamp in [...]

This pelargonium was popular in the UK a few years back and I’d looked for it stateside since 2007 to no avail. It was offered this year by Select Seeds and although it cost WAY more than I usually pay for one plant, it was so worth finally owning one of my own :)

We have discovered that we have 6 fruiting Mulberry trees along our back fence line!! Does anyone have any advice on what to do with Mulberries? Thought of making jam…difficult? idk Also we are going to be working our land this year about 1 acre….plowing and what not so that we can start a garden next [...]

I planted four cantaloupe plants and two tigger melons in my garden, and they have taken off and spread out a lot, and started getting blooms, but so far, no melons. They look healthy, no sign that I can see of withered leaves or even pests. I have seen a few bees around them, but, [...]

A week or so ago I posted here asking for suggestions and opinions on plants for a shady area of my yard. I have slowly begun work on a little bit of landscaping there and I have pictures! Yes, that is a child’s swimming pool in the middle. I know it’s obviously a kiddy pool [...]

OK…One more time. I finally took pics (had to wait for the rain to stop) and here are a couple of the Irises that are blooming at the moment. All irises are from Schreiners.

A reply on a previous post got me curious… Is there a weed/plant that keeps popping up in your garden that, no matter what you do, you just can’t get rid of it? LOL Here’s your chance to vent/rant about that weed that just won’t go away and stay gone. (And maybe somebody else might [...]
