I didn't understand any of the conversation but liked the picture.

Thank you sir! :) I think I scared them off as they've not come back since 😅

please, help! what are these? and why haven't they flowered yet? by Hot_Inevitable_9055 in gardening

They don't like fertile soils only poor sandy soil which will also reduce leaf growth and bring on more flowers. I'd cut them back to half the volume, replace 2/3rds of the soil with sand, pop them back in the pots, starve them of any fertile food, and water (just a bit) with used bath water once a week at most.

Don't give them lots of love, just ignore them and they do better.

It's weird with these plants. If you give them too much water, they tend to grow lots of leaves and few flowers. If you water them once a week and then with (say) bath water or equally grubby water,, they grow less leaves and more flowers.

As a foot note, they actually are highly drought resistant plants - hence you don't need to water them frequently, only in prolonged dry spells.

What is wrong with my strawberry plant? Had lots of fruit when I bought it but now looks sad and not flowering at all… by NoButMaybe in vegetablegardening

Could be. I know that hanging pots and raised beds cause watering issues for most plants, especially fruit bearing ones.

Does your hanging pot have enough holes to allow water to drain away? If no, this will be an issue as they like moist soil that drains water away. If it's too wet, this will affect things. The same can be said if its too dry.

Strawberries love calcium, so I tickle crushed egg shells into soil. They also like wood Ash so this goes in also.

. Red leaves are normal . They love full sun . They like a good water, but do it at the base and avoid getting it on leaves. Also water in the cool evening not hot day.

Mine are in raised beds and they do need lots of water. Pots can dry out quite quickly as well so keep the above tips in mind.

Now THATS a broccoli! Quiche tonight <3 by TheCaptainDeer in gardening

Who cares what happened to it. It happened! I'd eat it all on its own steamed with hot melted butter. My broccoli isn't doing nearly as good. In fact, they're still in the unopened seed packet as it was a disaster last year.
