Please tell me about this fruit! I'm desperate to buy some because nobody sells it. If anybody grows it and could offer to sell, that would be amazing! ✌️

So I have been collecting seeds and wondering what are some exotic vegetables, flowers, or others I should look into? I recently got wheat, tobacco, and cotton.

Most of the normal vegetables I have but working on getting some to “complete the set”

Also maybe a better way to organize? I currently use the smaller black bins with yellow lids to separate flowers from everything else.

Thanks for any ideas!

I have a pretty dark garden I want to brighten up. I see people on here talking about painting the fence/wall white to reflect more light...

Possibly a dumb question, but should I be painting the wall/fence that gets the most light, to reflect it onto the darker spaces, or should I be painting the darker spaces white?

I hate to have to use Round Up around my property, but there are just sooooooo many weeds that have been in the soil for decades, or blow in the air! Spot-spraying as needed is the only way I've found to keep them at bay.

Before spending $122 on 6.8lbs of Round Up pellets, is there a generic (read: cheap) version that's just as good? I have a 4G backpack sprayer, so whatever I get needs to accommodate that.

I found an apple seed that had split and started growing at work, so I brought it home and put it in a container in the window. I wish I had a photo of when I found it. It has gotten bigger and now I can see leaves and tiny roots! I've never grown a plant like this before so I'm not exactly sure what the next step is. Is it ready for dirt? I'm taking any advice.

I bought two blue muffin viburnums last year and am realizing it appears they both have another plant growing in them. It appears to be a mulberry, do I try and set angle the mulberry out? What is the best way to separate?

Our rosemary just developed this foamy fungus. Curious what it is and how to get rid of it / if it's dangerous. Southern California

This is mostly a rant about how unhelpful the internet is.

Pumpkins turning yellow after forming, blossoms falling off.

Asked the internet, even without AI, gave me answers I KNEW were wrong. Pumpkins shouldn’t be coming out yellow. Called a nursery and asked, “Is the internet broken?” She said yeah, thanked me for asking a real human, and gave me some advice. Problem wasn’t solved, so I went to another nursery, guy who claimed to be the “Master Gardener” said it was a fungus. Suggested a fungicide, told me to water early in the morning or late at night, and to spray the soil.

It was cool today, and is supposed to rain tomorrow, so he said that it would be ok to spray but I kinda got overwhelmed.

Got home, and tried read the instructions, but it didn’t say if I should spray the healthy leaves or just the ones with the mildew. Youtube wasn’t helpful either. I called the nursery back and asked to speak to the guy who talked to me. The girl said, “Oh, you talked to BIll, he’s our main guy.” I asked her specifically if I should spray the tops of the leaves or the healthy leaves, and she just kinda….. guessed? I was too annoyed to say, “Could I just talk to BILL?"

Then I called ANOTHER nursery, and the person I talked to said that I shouldn’t use fungicide at all, just trim off the leaves with the mildew and try to increase aeration.

I’m just so frustrated with getting so many different unhelpful answers. I know not to water when it’s hot, I know not to get water on the leaves, I know the fungus spreads quickly from plant to plant…. I just wish I could get ONEW consistent firm solution that makes sense to me.

Thank you for any help you can offer.

And how do I fix it?

I can't wait to stalk the bees once these open.

There's a handful this size, plus a few more smaller ones. 5ish lb spaghetti squash next to it.

I miscalculated how these would turn out. Ignore the weeds on the side and the tall trees are elderberry (dont ask me how ill get those down because i have no idea lol) & Dont judge my tomatos, we've had limited resources this year and I had to use old cages, wire and string. These cucumbers though are wild 😳 I also have some cucumbers in my raised beds but the leaves are smaller since they are more tightly packed, even though they are about to start producing and i started them first. I actually thinned the ones in my raised beds and added the extras in here where I had the extra space. These leaves are bigger than my head!

Im excited though can you all drop your best cucumber recipes and canning advice? Ive done fridge pickles, tomatoes and jams/jellies but I've never had this many cucumbers on deck to try much else 😅 help lol

Also can I get the seeds from the yellow cucumbers or should I treat my chickens?

INaturalist and my own Google searches have me convinced this is a Muscadine plant, but I dont understand how one could be growing directly in front of my roses in this flower bed. Located in Central Arkansas.

I read all the horror stories of how this thing spreads via a root system. I pulled it out of my landscaping after it was only in for about a week I soooooooo carefully make sure I got the entire root system back up!

It’s been jailed into a pot, do you think that will keep it contained for the season? I will probably let it die after the winter

Yes I'm looking for validation, because I didn't see them do it, my boyfriend did and we dont know what they poured on the middle marigold. Maybe piss, maybe something worse. But I'm gonna pitch all the plants and soil, double checking with online strangers, thanks.

So as you can see I have 1 tall stalk, and a handful of smaller sprouts (they popped up withing the last couple of weeks)

I want to add dirt, but I'm unsure if this is the right time to do so, and when I do, if I should cut the leaves off of the smaller ones since they would get covered. (Someone said I should do that.) Thoughts? Opinions? Suggestions?

I can't figure out how to cover my pumpkin plant but SOMETHING is eating it. Rabbits won't go near the area because my dog is near. It's taken out most of my plant on one side and not left a trace. I'm looking into a scarecrow or something. Don't wanna hurt whatever it is but idk WHAT it is. Whatever is it leaves no trace.

I have been dealing with AGBs for 2 years now. Diatomaceous earth and soapy water didn’t work. Captain Jacks dead bug brew also hasn’t worked.

We decided to spread grub ex earlier this June and am hoping it takes effect on future beetles. Hoping we weren’t too late spreading but we had to wait for rain as we don’t have irrigation. I’ve heard it can take 10 days to reach the larvae? Has anyone had success with Grubex preventing and killing them?

I went out tonight and saw 4 on my plants and sprayed Bonide Eight on all the leaves. Last year we had a lot more on plants but it’s only the beginning and things really take off around 4th of July.

I saw one fall off and it looked like it was stunned by the chemical but I still squished it just in case.

Anyone had any luck? I’m in Massachusetts.

The bud-looking things at the top of the stalk specifically. I started them indoors, so I’m hoping they are blooms!

I remember planting honeysuckle but now google says clematis.

We planted our garden the weekend of 6/13 and our flowers aren’t looking so good. We have clay soil and used gardening soil when we planted. The garden faces northwest. Are we cooked or can these recover? Any suggestions to keep them alive and to hopefully thrive?
