I absolutely love how vibrant these flowers are, it’s unreal! Also, spot the little pollinator buzzing on the flower 🐝

The morning glory just showing off. Her colors change depending on the weather.

Hey guys,

Ive had this citrus for almost a year now and its been looking curled like this for most of the time. I have been deep watering slowly for a few hours every week as its a baby tree and have been fertilizing every few months with a slow fertilizer.

I even raised the tree a bit so the top roots aren't getting buried. I spoke to a nursery and they said that its because of the erratic weather changes we've had recently and the tree will be fine. They also mentioned the rule of the tree where the first year they sleep, second year they creep and then they leap

Just wanted to post it on here incase you guys have any recommendations for this.

Thank you for your time!!

Anybody know what this is?!?

It brings me so much joy to see little creatures stopping by and enjoying my garden.

I would love to see everyone's favorite photos of their own garden visitors!

(I wasn't sure about the identification on a couple of these.)

1. Arizona Mantis nymph
2. Checkered White (on a Desert Marigold)
3. Globe Mallow Bees (in a Superstition Mallow bloom)
4. Sphinx Moth
5. Western Pygmy Blue (??) (on a Turpentine Bush)
6. Ornate Tree Lizard (??) (on a Saguaro skeleton)
7. Sonoran Desert Tortoise (having a little soak in his enclosure)

I just had this 36 gallon lemon tree planted and I am terrified about killing it. The nursery I bought it from put it on a drip line and said to water it everyday for the first week until a pool of water forms at the berm and then after that, 3 days a week for an hour. It has 6 2.0 gph emitters on it. I want to trust them since they know what they're doing but googleing it says thats not going to be enough water. How should I be watering this tree??

Hello!
Been finding a white fuzz on the leaves of my new senna plants. I have tried neem oil and spraying with a mixture of dish soap and water, only in the evenings, every couple days, but it keeps coming back and the plants aren’t looking so hot.
Also have liquid ant bait place at the base of each one. Since they’re new and it’s been hot, they are being watered every 2-3 days on a drip irrigation system. Good deep watering.

Pictures attached of the actual plant, and one I found on the net (macro) to show you what the fuzz actually looks like since I can’t get a good pic of it.

Any ideas? Thank you in advance!

moved here from milwaukee in march and have grown these! i just planted all the yellow pots and the cucumbers on friday and im so happy they’re already sprouting! in order they are:

pic 1: blackberry plant
pic 2: tomatoes
pic 3: strawberries
pic 4: herbs (labeled)
pic 5: cucumber
pic 6 & 7: jalapeños
pic 8: basil
pic 9: blackberry plant again

the tomato one is the oldest one. i planted it mid march and don’t really expect tomatoes to come in but was a good lesson on water usage here. so excited to spend time out in my little garden and i’ve been eating so many jalapeños i’ve grown myself! on the way here, all my plants died in the uhaul so i was pretty bummed but very happy with the growth! i do expect to need to move some of them inside under my grow lights as it gets hotter (honestly might move my strawberry plant in today) 💕

My corn has its tassels and silk out and I did some manual pollinating this morning. Very satisfying. Lots of flowers on my bean stalks as well but my squash plant has yet to produce any flowers of any sort. I'm not losing hope though. The pictures are from a couple of days ago. There's also some pics of my Habanero's and Tomatoes

Hi friends! I am growing sweet potatoes, eggplant, jalapeños, and then some flowers globe amaranth and zinnia. This is east on the left and west on the right so then they are along the garden bed on the right in grow bags they get sun probably from 9 am - 1 pm and then get shade from the house. I was wondering 1) do I need a shade cloth? Since they will have afternoon shade. And 2) what percent should I get? If they are only getting sun for like 5 hours will the shade cloth not let them get enough sun?
Thanks!!

I’ve had this peach tree since last fall. During the early march it had some nice flowers growing but since it has been declining in health. Can this thing be saved or do I scrap it and try again

there's actually tiny fruit growing even tho the tree looks infested....

Came out to check the after work and found a large spot taken out of one, and a smaller amount out of the other. Just hucked some mesh umbrellas to keep flies off food on them until I can find a better solution.

(there’s more on the way, this is just from 2 pods) have you ever tried growing beans before?

The sweet pea and hollyhock were planted last fall, the dwarf sunflower and amaranth I planted in February. The sweet pea flowers smell so goooood

But then again every day is. So happy things are really taking off!
