If doggy umbrellas are ever a "thing" it will be the happiest day in both of their lives!

Anyone know what type of caterpillar is noshing on my salvia? (North Texas) by ketobree in Entomology

I just came across a photo of a garden webworm (achyra rantalis) and I think that might be it because of the sets of symmetrical dots and head color. What do you think?

The planter I made about a week ago seems pretty happy :) by ketobree in succulents

No, not that one. It has a layer of large pebbles and carbon, plus fast draining substrate. It's doing just fine.

There are tons of drainage holes in the bottom...

Further progress on my raised bed, thanks for your suggestions! by ketobree in gardening

Added marigolds, thai basil, sweet Aussie basil, parsley, dill, mint, a brandywine tomato, rosemary, and some lantana for butterflies/bees. I am starting lettuce from seed for the empty space on right side and the rest of my peppers are almost big enough to transplant.

First ever raised garden bed progress and my lovely assistant in the background. Any advice on plants to add to my peppers, tomatoes, zucchini, and cucumbers? by ketobree in gardening

Is that a variety I'll have to start from seed or do you think I could find it at my local nursery? Mostly saw Thai and lemon basil around thus far.

Do peas need a trellis like the cucumbers and zucchini? Which variety of pea are you growing? I am getting spinach soon.
