Freeze warning for the overnight which means today was an everything must go type of situation. Then onto tuber storage the rest of the weekend…

In the meantime, I’m enjoying being surrounded by blooms for the last time this season and missing them already! ☺️

100% from seed. They are currently at their peak. Sharing some pix

Hi Everyone!

Just dropping some of my Blooms since bringing my Hibiscus inside for the cold seasons. Even my propagated babies are blooming at only a couple inches tall.

Enjoy!

Hi, just found this strawberry in my garden. Why does it have leaves instead of some seeds? 😂

I planted these carrot seeds in February. They were in a five by five raised bed filled with about six inches of fully processed compost on top of native soil in dappled sunlight. The compost is a combination of cardboard, garden and kitchen scraps, lawn clippings and partially composted straw from my chicken coop using the deep litter method. They were watered all season on a schedule. Why are they so tiny (large seed packet for scale). Any tips or tricks are appreciated.

I cannot remember where I got the seed pack. Also, I’ve had quite a few people tell me they’ve never seen flowers like this on an okra plant.

It’s only my second year gardening, and first time growing okra so any info would be appreciated.

EDIT: I guess KIWI is a slur now

Warm greetings to you, dear garden lovers, now I will pick the apples and pears and put them in storage for the winter.

The plant is fine lol

Fall cake decorations lol. I hope you enjoy :)

Was already in my garage when I got a frost warning. Went out to my garden without a bowl to get a couple of runner beans to try and use as seeds next spring, ended up being more than I was expecting and figured I would take the tomatoes as well, only a couple look like they will ripen okay, I’ll use the rest for some green salsa, apparently these also could work as a substitute for tomatillos.

Anyways, Surprisingly spacious pockets and I got a lot in one trip, would not recommend for ripe pickings but it helped me out tonight

My second year

I recently got a Japanese Flowering Cherry tree (Prunus serrulata 'Kanzan'), and I'm having a really hard time deciding on the best spot for it in my yard.. I bought it on a whim because of a huge end of season sale without really thinking.. Where would you put it? And please excuse my messy lawn!

Some context about my yard and the tree:

• Location & Climate: Huskvarna, Southern Sweden (Swedish Growing Zone 4, which is roughly equivalent to USDA Hardiness Zone 5b).
• Sun direction: The lawn on the left on the satellite image gets the most sun
• Tree details: It is top-grafted at around 120–150 cm (approx. 4–5 ft), meaning the vase-shaped crown will start branching out fairly low, right around chest/eye level.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Gardening can be a humbling experience 😂

and the most photogenic carrot i’ve ever pulled

such nice contrast one of my faves for sure

After I moved them from their grow pots to 1 gallon nursery pots, I realized mums prefer shallow wider pots than deeper. I dont really want to move them again, will they be okay in those pots?
