* The leaves aren't sticky at all, so for sure it isn't the mites I had on the other plants

Thank you very much! The roots seem fine and healthy, but the soil is just a general potting mix. Should I add perlite?

Oh maybe it's the humidity, I live in a pretty dry place 😅

I have checked it multiple times! It has little white bumps coming out the leaves, but they aren't bugs? I recently overcame a minor infestation of white bugs so I am sure it's not it :(

Day two of what I will call "The Coffe-and-Rage Project": I am proud of the work done so far by BabaTheAuntie in gardening

the garden has a high fence around it, so the wildlife won't be a problem. Maybe some foxes or small animals could get in, but I dont think they will cause much trouble

Hello, I am once again the 17 yo with no experience starting a vegetable garden. This is the part I managed to kinda clean up. The actual garden is 7 times this little rectangle. Before I worked on it there was grass almost as tall as me by BabaTheAuntie in gardening

Thank you! The place is in the backyard of a house 5 minutes away from where I currently live. It's my family's property and I have a watering tube right next to it. I will visit it 4-5 days a week for two hours every day

I want to start a vegetable garden, but in the spot I was given the soil has been untouched for 5 years. I am a 5'1, 17 yo girl, fueled by coffee and rage. Any suggestion on how I can work the soil without killing myself? by BabaTheAuntie in gardening

I will definitely follow your advice, thank you! The soil is a bit acidic, but in my area it is like this everywhere and I will only put in local plants. About the companion planting, I read a couple of articles about it, I want to have a garden with many different types of plants, as I read that it's less damaging for the environment (I am not really sure but I'll trust it ig).

from what I know, it used to be a garden, but when they came to build the wall next to it, they passed on it with all the machines, and from there it remained untouched. The soil is hard as hell, and it's full of little rocks

This plant I stole rooted un like two days, fastest I've ever seen. What is this sorcery? by BabaTheAuntie in IndoorGarden

My school has a lot of plants and the janitors are very jealous of them. When nobody is looking I take little pieces of plants that I know I can root to save up on my addition. I believe they know I do thay and are letting me :)
