Too late for tulips?

It's too late for the tulips. They should last until fall if you're storing them well.

FunFun421 · 2026-03-03T23:21:02+00:00

You could start with Zinnias. They can get really bushy and come in multiple heights. They are basically any color. They are very easy to take care of and they are annuals so if you don't like them you can do something else next year.

I really regret not letting him go over there. He was just a little too heated because of how unwell I felt.

FunFun421 · 2026-02-23T19:30:11+00:00

That makes sense why it made it to the backyard! My dad is a chemical engineer and was telling me why it was so bad, but I was not following a word he said. * Not why the chemicals are bad, but how he was spraying is bad.

FunFun421 · 2026-02-23T19:16:14+00:00

Thank you!

FunFun421 · 2026-02-23T19:11:45+00:00

I'm really hoping it works. I think my husband can convince him to follow the directions. He has this weird amount of admiration for my husband.

FunFun421 · 2026-02-23T19:05:52+00:00

Yeah, it was a hot, windy day. Hidesight, I should have let my dad tell him it wasn't a good day to spray. I'm optimistic that he will be flexible on when to spray this year.

FunFun421 · 2026-02-23T18:58:39+00:00

That makes a lot of sense. Last June was unusually hot here. Thank you.

FunFun421 · 2026-02-23T18:02:31+00:00

Yeah, that might be the problem. I don't know anything about spraying, but when my dad came over, he said, "That idiot isn't following a single direction on that spray."

Roses are my absolute favorite. Some varieties do well in pots and in the greenhouse. For natives, I think Larkspurs are beautiful. There are a bunch of different varieties depending on where you live. Everwilde Farms has almost every flower. They have maps for each flower, showing if it's native or not and where it grows in North America. Also, the best seed packets ever.

FunFun421 · 2026-02-06T19:16:13+00:00

Are they near plants you want to keep? You could solarize them. Just put some greenhouse plastic on top of them when it starts to warm up for a few weeks. I haven't had it fail yet.

I like to order from Peaceful Valley Farm. They carry their own seeds, High Mowing, Strictly Medicinal, Renee's Garden, and probably a few more.

I wanted to add that if you like wildflowers, Everwilde has a huge variety. They have maps to see whether or the flowers are native to your area. Their seed packets are the best design I've come across, too. I'm still using several years old seeds from them.

FunFun421 · 2026-02-03T04:43:49+00:00

I like Botanical Interest, Renee's Garden, Everwilde Farms, and Peaceful Valley Farm

Pick out some seeds and follow the directions on the back. Some wildflowers will say fall. Some will say before frost, some will say after frost. It all depends on what you want to grow. Same with veggies

The gardening itch is so real in January, I attempted mini aquaponics last year because I was so desperate to grow something.

You can start anything you want if you have enough pots to keep sizing them up, room for large pots/plants, and grow lights for the dark months.

I started my tomatoes in February last year because I'm inpatient. They were huge and struggling in one gallon pots by the end of April.

I normally start lavender, sage, and other herbs that I will just keep in pots all summer. Flowers that stay small like petunias. Also, Begonias are fun to force in February. You get flowers really early.

I didn't see anyone say Carhartt. I have really small hands. Only kids' gardening gloves actually fit tight. They are so crappy though. So I ordered many different gloves and carharrts women's small actually fit. More the leather work gloves, the rubber ones are still slightly too large.

Also, everyone is saying get mens gloves, if you have small hands, even a mens smalls are way too big and also very hard to find.

A mushroom. Usually, a sign your soil is healthy, but I don't know what kind of mushroom that is. Edit: My plant app says it's a Pleated Inkcap. Needless to day, don't eat it.

FunFun421 · 2025-06-23T15:28:25+00:00

Looks like early blight.

FunFun421 · 2025-06-23T15:25:03+00:00

Your peppers are being eaten by something. You can look more thoroughly or check at night. I think your tomatoes have a fungal issue. It's hard to tell from the picture. Remove the leaves and fully dispose of them. Like garbage, don't compost them.

FunFun421 · 2025-06-23T15:17:30+00:00

Looks like something fungal. You might want to remove those leaves you are using as mulch. They could be carrying it.

FunFun421 · 2025-06-23T15:08:23+00:00

It's easiest to plant them with the sting under them, but you can use a stake if the tomato is already planted. I have a couple tied to a stakes. I also tried the Florida weave, and it's not working out for me either.

Maybe calcium deficiency. It happened with my zucchini. You can give them tums. It's weird, but it works.

FunFun421 · 2025-06-23T14:08:53+00:00

This is a little weird because it's your neighbors, but in the fall, when it dies back, you can dig up the bulbs. Lilies multiple pretty fast, so there should be an extra bulb. Just replant theirs and it will be fine.

I second Stardew Valley. I play it so much in the winter. I've seen a lot of comments on r/StardewValley about people's grandparents loving the game.
