Gardening: Plants, Flowers, Veggies, Trees and All Things Green

[Hypnobitch01]

I like the farm life thread, but I think it’d be good to share and give practical advice on all things that bloom, bear fruit, provide shade etc.

Share your plants, ask each other for gardening, and plant advice and enjoy the growing season.

Plants are sex after all, starting from seeds. (OK, it’s a stretch)

So watcha growing??

I have some very successful petunias growing, the key? Deadheading and mildly neglectful watering.

Lot of people around here don't know to dead head for more blooms.

Soon as I typed , a pop up has hit. 89 this morning, heat index was at 100. I ended up coming home early with heat stress.

Glad you got some rain at least!!

Exactly, nothing like a little trickery to encourage nature to blossom

My veggies are hurting, even with watering. It's just too freaking hot and heat index hands around 100+ too many days in a row.

The tomatoes are taller I am even with an arm upstretched toward the sky, but the big ones refuse to ripen. Jay's Pink Black peppers are producing steadily.

Not sure. Can't recall seeing a fruit like that. Seen yellow sun burst tomatoes look close to those before.

 

[Wonderer67]

I was thinking similarly, yellow tomatoes.

So if they are not that, I am not sure.

Maybe try google lens or inaturalist app?

Good luck! Our tomatoes are really starting to come in. Pumpkins doing okish. Sunflowers and beets are going. Potatoes and garlic seem ok. We’ll see.

We’ll be entering a bunch of stuff in the county 4H fair.

Phlox and coneflower really having a great year. Black eyed Susan are emerging and also woodland sunflower.

Day lilies are past their peak and fading out.

Our latest day Lily ever. I’ve been watching the pod for a few weeks, wondering if it would bloom. Well this morning it did. It flowers for one day (hence the name).

Usually, they bloom in June and July. But this one hung on for whatever reason…
