So many seedlings! Planted these March 13th. I’m planning on up potting the tomatoes to 3 inch pots today. for the tomatoes, I planted 2 seeds in one cell, when I upsize their pots should I keep them together or separate them? Beans, zucchini and okra I definitely planted too early, I was advised to toss them and reseed but I’m attached. Any advice?

(Photos 2-7 in order: hot peppers, bell peppers, eggplant; tomato, cherry tomato, collard greens; cilantro, basil, Swiss chard; parsley, romaine lettuce, kale; mix lettuce, spinach; zucchini, okra, pole beans).

Photo 8: I noticed the cotyledons on my kale are yellowing, what does this mean? Photo 9: Miss chard looks leggy and limp is she sad? Photo 10: yea these got too big too fast, I gotta do something with them soon.

Thanks guys!!

Needed to share with people who get how exciting this is!

Six varieties of peppers, thirteen varieties of tomatoes, two types of squash, cucumbers, and three types of melon hardening off for planting in the upcoming week.

Container Garden for the win!

This season’s tomatoes looking pretty after a little shower. Seeds started January 5th. All twelve plants are open pollinated mid to late season large fruited slicer varieties such as Brandywine, Pruden’s Purple, and Black Krim. Hopefully, we will get some ripening fruit by the second week of May. The anticipation is real.

It even had little buds on the part that was broken off. Sigh!

For context, I planted this red onion a few days ago as it sprouted. However, there was a small bit of mold on the bottom before I planted it. I wiped it off and planted it, but now the top of the sprout has turned red. Is it dying, and if so, can I fix it?

These white streaks have started to show up on my marigolds and cucumbers, I’m worried they may be diseased, can anyone identify what seems to be the issue?

My first time ever trying to grow tomatoes! (Or anything really). Got a seedling from a nursery and potted it up 2 weeks ago, but I didn’t realize I should have filled the pot to the top. Is there anything I can do about it now?

Can I snip off the lowest 3 or 4 leaves (cotyledons plus 1 or 2 true leaves) and add more soil? Or should I repot /pot up? (It’s in a 10cm / 4in pot currently) Or just leave it and hope for the best?

This will ultimately be grown on a south facing balcony, planning on a 20 litre / 5 gallon tub. It’s an indeterminate variety, if it matters (Outside Girl). I’m not planning on putting it outside until nearer the end of May (so like 6 or 7 weeks from now)

(Also the leaves/stems close up at night (pic 1) and open out/relax in the mornings (pic 2 & 3) … I’m told this can be normal and is just the plant having a sleep/wake cycle, which is adorable if true but please tell me if not! 🤣)

Thank you in advance!

Thought I’d dig up a few potato vines n check to see what was going on under ground. Was happy in what I got from 2 plants. I planted my potatoes 2 times bout a month apart from each other. Down where I live in Southern Georgia I planted the first ones in January and the second in February.the saying down here is to plant them February 14.Don’t know how that came to be But Im happy with my first dig. Garden on ya’ll tastes so much better and u did it all yourselves 🥰

so, 2 weeks ago i sewed some carrot seeds, and yesterday i saw sprouts! i was really happy, but today i looked in the raised bed next to it and i see the same sprout. i never sewed any in there, so idk how they got here. this is 50% soil from a garden outside, so it might be some wild thing? but also, i might have placed the seed packed on the other bed while i was working in the bed next to it and some couldve fallen out. im a beginner, this is this bed's first year so no seeds couldve been left from last year. Thanks!

4 plants total. I planted them in either 10 or 12 inch pots on February 21st, so it's been a bit longer than a month.

I do want to keep harvesting them as they grow, and for one of them, the pot size made one of the stems break lol

They're all at least 8 inches. without using a ruler, some pass for a foot tall.

I am concerned that I'll stress them out a bit and they won't make new leaves/will "bolt" because I sprayed neem oil on them the other day and White Oil on them on Saturday or Sunday.

Hi all, I sowed my chamomile seeds a few weeks ago and thinned to about 4-5 plants per cell. I’m wondering if I should leave this many or further thin to only 2-3 plants per cell? How many do you all plant in a clump?

The tomato plant in this grow box seems to be stunted or slow growing. It's healthy but just doesn't seem to be doing much and I don't know why. Then I read that rosemary can make huge root systems. So is the rosemary out competing everything else? Or is it something else? Growing in zone 9B FL.

I've been trying to start a mini indoor container garden. I live

in a apartment so I don't have a yard but would really love to

grow some vegetables.

A month ago I bought some parsley, balcony tomatoes and

mini pepper plants and they are starting to not look so good.

I've repotted them in bigger pots with gardening soil and

bottom water them every 2 days but somehow they look

really sad and stressed.

I would really appreciate some help and advice

Any idea what’s going on? Squash nearby, same soil, no problem… hasn’t been too warm yet, tho
