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!

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.

Fall cake decorations lol. I hope you enjoy :)

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.

Gardening can be a humbling experience 😂

We moved into this house in June, and the previous owners were known for their flowers. I’ve never gardened, we had a lot going on so we just let it’s do its thing and the cosmos overran everything.

This was fine at first, the neighborhood loved the wild look, became a bit of a photo spot for people on their walks.

But as it’s getting cooler things are dying off as you can see. Should I be pulling up / trimming back the brown dead ones? Leave the dried seeds for the birds (big bird neighborhood)?

Didn't plant bells but wonder if there was a seed mixup or plant mislabeled. Not even sure of the variety.

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

such nice contrast one of my faves for sure

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

No photo to attack apologies! I am just mildly worried about my poor plants.

I raked and planted the outskirts of my yard, with deer and turkey fodder seeds. Among the seeds were some radish varieties. didn't plan on eating any of this stuff as I have a regular veg garden but these made for a delish stir fry with beef and the radish greens as well.

First time grow Charleston Gray watermelon. I have really good luck this year. Most weight 25/35 lbs. the biggest one is 38lbs.

The plant is fine lol

and the most photogenic carrot i’ve ever pulled

The seeds came from MI gardener. Two cobs came out this way but I’m not sure if they’re from the same plant. I am however positive that all the seeds I planted were red. The cobs are fully formed and dried out on the plant. I just have them doing the second stage of drying indoors as decor.

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