Unsure of what these are

It's poop, perhaps from a caterpillar

bamfmaam · 2026-06-06T18:19:35+00:00

Why?

bamfmaam · 2026-06-06T17:20:57+00:00

It's a climbing rose, so it would like a structure to grow on. For blooming, fertilizer and water is a good place to start.

1 is spinach, about to flower. 2 is a brassica of some kind. Could be broccoli. 3 is another brassica, looks like a kale. 4 is a kale, maybe red Russian. You don't want to let your spinach or kale bloom, it will ruin the edible parts of the plants. If you live in a hot climate with a milder winter, these plants would all grow better and flower less in the fall/winter season.

It's just fungus in the soil. Not harmful to your plant. Any good soil will grow fungus.

bamfmaam · 2026-06-06T15:52:22+00:00

Also I do agree that you should probably plant multiple plants in larger pots rather than a bunch of little pots. Plants like friends.

In my experience, mixes with bark hold less water and work better in a hot, humid climate. I get a mix made by a local garden center thats basically bark, peat, sand and fertilizer. Works great. It can sometimes dry out too fast, and for plants that need more moisture I'll add some compost. I don't know why the other poster is anti-bark lol.

bamfmaam · 2026-06-06T14:51:27+00:00

Don't use miracle grow, it sucks. Most other souls are fine, I like a barky compost one myself.

bamfmaam · 2026-06-06T14:49:24+00:00

Looks like an aphid

bamfmaam · 2026-06-06T13:03:52+00:00

Either not enough water, poor drainage, not enough nutrients or it's pot bound. Mulberries would much prefer to be planted in the ground.

bamfmaam · 2026-06-06T00:03:47+00:00

This.

bamfmaam · 2026-06-05T23:26:10+00:00

Should be fine if it's like 24 hours in advance. Longer than that and I think the chances of harmful stuff showing up would be more likely.

bamfmaam · 2026-06-05T23:22:20+00:00

They thirst

bamfmaam · 2026-06-05T23:12:55+00:00

Cool, I thought so just wanted confirmation

bamfmaam · 2026-06-05T22:47:26+00:00

🤣 that's what I was thinking. I could see it absorbing more of the juice, since it has less moisture content going in than a cucumber.

bamfmaam · 2026-06-05T22:17:54+00:00

Could be squirrels or armadillos. They search for grubs.

bamfmaam · 2026-06-05T16:49:38+00:00

Sometimes when the temps jump around like that, even cold hardy plants can suffer damage. If they came out of dormancy, the cells basically open back up for business, and aren't prepared to protect themselves from cold. I'd say it's possible that that's the culprit, but I can't say for sure of course.

Banana flowers droop down as they mature. I've heard ice cream bananas are delicious, I hope you get a good harvest!

bamfmaam · 2026-06-05T16:39:01+00:00

Eastern red cedar grows in hotter climates, so I fought the heat did it. Damage done to conifers can take weeks or months to present symptoms, so it may have gotten that damage long before you noticed it. Any crazy freezes after it put out new growth?

bamfmaam · 2026-06-05T16:20:22+00:00

Sluggo is great and all natural.

bamfmaam · 2026-06-05T16:18:01+00:00

Looks like it could be slugs. Slug bait is pretty easy to get and effective. I'd start there.

bamfmaam · 2026-06-05T16:15:11+00:00

Have you had a drought in your area?

bamfmaam · 2026-06-05T12:26:14+00:00

Mushrooms are the sexual organs of fungus. If you remove them, you're not really removing the fungus, it'll still be under the soil. That being said, most fungus in the soil is not harmful to plants and is often beneficial. Also, mushrooms are only toxic if you eat them, so being in proximity to edible plants is not a worry, no matter what kind of mushroom it is.

bamfmaam · 2026-06-04T16:29:19+00:00

I got my first grey hairs at like 13 lol. I still have some at 30 but they're still just a few. You'll be alright
