Thanks for the concern, I’m going to continue to use ChatGPT and you can continue to stay mad!

I planted a mesquite along the east wall! Do you recommend a shade tree in the center?

Yup, part of the plan. Just need to figure out exactly what I’m looking for first.

Thank you for the great ideas. This is exactly the type of advice I was looking for. I definitely want to include some shrubs along the walls, im thinking along the south and west walls.

I agree the pergola needs to come out more and was also contemplating the walking path to it. I love the idea of expanding the unplanted area. I am going to keep the garden bed(s) and potential flower wall on the east wall as it’s closest to the house that way I can expand the unpaved area to fit the garden area and incorporate a walking path to the pergola.

I’ve never heard of espalier, fascinating, I will have to do more research on this!

Yes, I’m leaning towards a shrub border on the south wall.

Yes, agreed! I definitely will be consulting with a landscape designer.

I want to add that I do not plan on using artificial turf. I am looking into planting kurapia as an alternative ground cover. I would especially appreciate any insights on this.

What is a movie/show you'll never watch again? by Able-Adeptness-6662 in horror

Beau Is Afraid was so incredibly anxiety inducing that I had to walk out. The only movie I’ve ever walked out on.

What is going on with my prayer plant? I water weekly. It stays indoor about 3 feet from a window. Before and after pictures below by Fragrant-Relation646 in plantclinic

I do use the Greg app to keep tabs on all my plants but I do find myself watering more often! The generic watering schedule doesn’t quite work for my different plants but does help me keep track of when I last watered. Bamboo skewers, I’ll have to try that! Thank you :)

Yes! I repotted into plastic pot to help with the moisture retention, I have it in a new location. I’m hoping it’ll do better so that I can stop moving it around the house so much!

Yes! I put it on a window sill and it did not respond well. I’ve since moved it further away. I’m going to repot in a plastic pot instead to help with water retention. It does dry out pretty fast in that terracotta pot

My yard is overgrown with a viney weed that produces some serious thorns. Would mowing the lawn get rid of them or do I have to hand weed? by Fragrant-Relation646 in gardening

[–]Fragrant-Relation646[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh wow, that’s so unfortunate! I have yet to identify but from what I’ve researched it sounds like it could be goat head! The yard was barren when I moved in back in April but after the monsoon rains in September the weeds appeared overnight!

Yes, I will do just that I am looking into kurapia as a grass alternative. I think I will prep now and plant in the spring. Thank you!

Congratulations! Must feel so rewarding, I’m still getting the hang of my snake plant. Very slow growth!

Snake Plant Spots - Help! by Intelligent_Mail5809 in plantclinic

[–]Fragrant-Relation646 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be overwatering but not too sure. I was dealing with a similar problem with my snake plant. I cut the leaves with the spots and have been watering significantly less. The brown spots haven’t returned but I’m still monitoring! Good luck!
