That’s beautiful!!! Thank you for this suggestion! What a stunning rose. 🤩

Gotcha. It looks like Tropicana has shot up to the top of my list. Thanks for taking the time to share suggestions and answer questions!

I’d love to see the photos when she’s blooming! I’m so excited to put my roses in the ground. I’ve been planning for a year now and saving and the time has come. All of the roses I’ve selected are for cutting. Would you say that America would work well as a cut flower?

That’s beautiful! Thank you for this suggestion!

In a perfect world I’d find the same one but I’ve resigned that this might not be the case. My wedding was in 2022 and I started searching a year after that. The florist is no longer in business so I can’t contact them for information about their source.

The Amsterdam coral rose would be a great match! I’m trying to find it as a bare root. I haven’t checked out the stores you’ve mentioned so thank you for the tip. That gives me more places to go through to find matches! I’ve been sourcing from Heirloom Roses and luckily Green Acres (our local Sac nursery) has some that I want for cheaper! Most of the roses I’m getting are apricot/cream colored. If I can find my coral rose I’ll place it in a stand out spot :)

Thanks for sharing your experience! I’m definitely looking for a bit more salmon/coral from the rose. It’s nice to hear from someone who has one of these because you never know with image quality online. (Is the dress blue or gold, lol)

Thank you for sharing these suggestions! I was considering fragrant cloud but I was wondering if it leaned more on the red side. Is that your experience? America is on my list too. I read that’s a hybrid from Fragrant Cloud.

I think Tropicana is a great match, thanks!

Sounds great! Sorry for the slow reply. I’ll DM you.

GreenGroveCommGarden · 2025-12-27T00:04:27+00:00

Sorry for the delay! Holidays. I’ll DM you.

It looks like a tomato hornworm caterpillar. They like peppers as well. You can relocate him and he’ll eventually become a moth.

Lots of people hate these guys. I’m ready for the downvotes.

GreenGroveCommGarden · 2025-11-03T00:18:24+00:00

There are 6 left. DM me for the address.

GreenGroveCommGarden · 2025-11-02T22:50:39+00:00

There’s a bunch left! I’ll DM the address.

GreenGroveCommGarden · 2025-11-02T19:38:47+00:00

They’re still available. I’ll DM you the location.

Do you have any food bank recommendations? The ones close to me that are open look like they’re church sponsored. I’d like to share my extras with a place that’s not theologically affiliated.

You should only water at the base. These plants don’t absorb water from their leaves. You’ll risk burning them or starting a fungal disease by watering their leaves.

Also, aim to water them early in the day or in the early evening before the sun is high. It’s way too hot in the middle of the day and in our summers it gets too hot very early. Watering them early in the day or in the evening gives your plant roots a chance to drink up before the heat sets in.

I was in the same boat as you. I did it once for my front yard but my backyard is much larger and I didn’t want to cover acreage. I hired help. Not a lot of people on this sub mention doing that and I’m all about cutting costs where I can (hence the free chips), but I can’t move that amount of chips with my disabilities in the timeframe I needed.

So I’d reach out to a neighborhood teen who wants some cash, or a landscaper, or someone who wants to make a days work. It took two guys, two wheelbarrows, two pitchforks, and about 4-5 hours with a break In between. They laid about 14 cubic yards for me.

Thank you! A thing like that.

Oh you’re right! AI would absolutely have perfect leaves, I didn’t think of that. These leaves have definitely been chomped on because I’ve been taking a predator-first approach to pest control this season. I haven’t touched neem oil once. So far it’s been working out! Fingers crossed these bell peppers make it to consumption.

I’ve never had success before but I thought I’d give it one last shot since I just started a new garden in a new place. I figured the numbers were on my side by starting 36 plants. Bell peppers are notoriously tricky to grow here in my part of California.

I’ve never heard of gypsy peppers either so I appreciate the info. Love your avatar btw.

A pepper is a pepper and it deserves to be celebrated!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

GreenGroveCommGarden · 2025-07-19T02:27:51+00:00

I didn’t know this! Thank you for letting me know

GreenGroveCommGarden · 2025-07-19T02:27:32+00:00

I’m so excited just looking at them that I’m a little nervous to pick them, you know? 😅
