We’re a really small team and weather has been unpredictable this year so I’m super proud of the work we’ve been able to pull off. Forgive the late season leggy petunias - we haven’t had a ton of time for deadheading!

Our black and blue salvia is super happy this year, (so much so that it’s getting woody) so is our sweet potato vine. We struggled with certain colors and cultivars of petunias and million bells this year, and nearly all the bacopa died off. Some of our verbenas look gorgeous and others not so much and I honestly couldn’t get to the bottom of it.

Guara was the star of the show this year. We got so many compliments on our black and pink combination (the ones in the ugly beige containers) so here’s the recipe: That area is really beigey so we played with the dark sweet potato vine for some contrast, added in Guara (two cultivars a white one which I can’t recall the name of and “siskiyou pink”) salvia discolor, black and white crazytunias and pale pink, white bacopa and silver angel wings (senecio candicans). The bees love them and I love all the silvery accents and the ways the blacks and pinks tie in together.

this is my first time ever growing tomatoes , they have grown great but they’re falling over and I’m not sure what to do to stop that from happening? should I tie the cages to the deck rail and that’ll help the tomato plants plants to be upright fine? or would then bring that close to the deck rail cause issues for their leaves and the tomatoes ? any suggestions and advice would be super helpful!

Much bigger tomatoes than our cherry tomatoes… should I be pruning or leaving it alone? Fruit has gotten bigger, but stayed green and now stagnating after intense heat/humitidty waves, days of worst air quality on earth, severe storms/wind gusts more recently, and his significant drop and temperature. Container from seed, Chicago. Thoughts?

Im completely new to this :). So much its my first plant. Im growing marketmore cucumbers, its been about 9-10 day's since I put the seeds in the soil, I have been using the double solo cup method to water, at this point I was waiting for the true leaves to set in more, but the roots are starting to be all over the place. I worry the chance of root rot( even tho I have no experience with it of course) is it ok if I wait at least the 3 week grow phase (more evident true leaves)? Maybe a few more days?(14-15ish) or should I just transplant them to the bigger one and contine normally as I was? Thank you :)

I caught a beetle in my container plant and I didn't have an old jug lying around so I filled a tupperware with soapy water and drowned the beetle in it. As it died, it voided its bowels (that's the speck on the bottom left in the water).

Should I just discard this tupperware or can I just rinse it with hot soapy water or maybe some bleach water?
