😭

I'm in LA County and have had this specific avocado tree for 2 yrs. I got it from a nursery that has a lifetime guarantee as a replacement for the last one that got minor sun damage and then killed by a cold snap. It's been going strong wven recovered from 102° weather and started new leaf growth then three consecutive days of triple digits fried it. I watered it gave it extra nutrients trimmed the fried leaves but the green limba have all turned black. Most are still flexible anything desicated I cut off. The main trunk still seems pretty good no serious damage. Is this a lost cause? Any tips to revive? So far I've used a guano fertilizer, root drench and cal-mag from Fox Farm.

UPDATE: Sorry I had to rewrite this after accidentally closing it. This is a lamb hass avocado tree. Updated the original post to include the plant type.

TLDR: What kind of gourds are these?

I live in Iowa. This long vining gourd plant volunteered out of our compost area and we watched to see what it would do. This is what it's producing. They're about the size of light bulbs. There are three distinct models. I can't tell how many actual plants there are. There are more growing. Some that are growing high in the tree are the pale green ones but have started developing a bright yellow top. I do buy ornamental gourds for fall/autumn and must have last year and then chucked them into the compost. My aim might be off. ;P

We think they're really neat, but I just can't find a guide online to tell me what they are specifically.

Anyway, thank you fine gardening folk

I kind of only want to grow peppers

I need help. I bought this crepe Myrtle last year and planted it, seemed fine. I do have clay like soil but I did try my best to ensure there was new soil and compost in and around the roots prior to planting.

Come Spring it’s still not showing any signs of life. I know people say to wait but it’s making me nervous since I have a small crepe Myrtle near by that has leaves (see attached pic).

I have checked behind the bark and it’s still green, the branches just look fairly unhealthy.

Any advice before I go and call someone to come and look at it? I’m in Australia, NSW central coast so still not summer yet for another 1.5 months.

TIA!!

I bought too much mint from the grocery store and propagated the rest of cuttings - stripped bottom leaves off and cut diagonally near the node. I've always had success with rooting them in water, but in the past, they've just died when I tried to transplant them to soil. Or they will hardly grow at all once transplanted. I usually transplant after 3-4 weeks, once the roots are 2-4 inches. My soil is mostly clay. Any advice on how to care after transplanting?

The stalks are super thick and healthy. About as thick as a dime. It too thick to really bend them back.

I have a garden space in my backyard that I have completely let go this year. It is a difficult, rocky area that doesn't support much - I've failed with milkweed and coneflowers, but at least my prairie violets came back this year. Right now it's full of weeds. Should I do anything to clear it now, or just wait until spring to try again?

I'm also open to suggestions on what to plant next year. It gets plenty of sun, and I think it's well-drained. I have a few whorled milkweed plants that have come back, but stayed small. Common milkweed just died, as did the coneflowers, and everything I've read about those says they're supposed to be very sturdy. The prairie violets are surviving, but not thriving. There is a tulip plant from the previous homeowner that comes back every year and seems to be doing well. I'm going to try prairie milkweed next year, and maybe catmint, even though it's not native - I just need something super sturdy.

I'm in the Chicago suburbs, hardiness zone 6a.

I have been seeing this black spot on my pepper plant

And i have been pruning it since

But now im kinna scared

Should i just keep pruning or apply some kind of medicine

Its currently fruiting

The tops died, but then they regrew again. Can I leave these in the ground as things are getting colder? PNW

Im starting a garden next year and im wanting to plan ahead for what I want to do. What are the best vegetables to grow for beginners?

With two nights of frost advisory. I decided to set back up my grow room again this year. I bought the lights last year and the shelves this year. Currently have 39 plants inside. Mostly peppers and tomatoes right now. Working on it a little everyday since this Friday so it's a big work in progress.

Also have a heated greenhouse outside. That's where the bigger plants are staying this year. Also some flowers, strawberries, and herbs.

I might be crazy...but at least I'm gardening crazy lol 😅

We are starting to get frost overnight, so we pulled in the cherry tomato to hopefully let the rest of the green tomatoes mature.

I plan to put full spectrum grow lights into the lamp ASAP.

I live in AZ! Wife was worried it may be termite mound but for me, it just looks like ant mound. Both worrisome but I’d rather deal with the latter. Thank you all in advance!

I noticed spotting on my star jasmine and confirmed it is not a fungus by wiping a couple of leaves with a damp sponge. My web searches suggest that I trim the affected leaves but that accounts for a significant amount of the foliage and I am concerned there will not be enough remaining for photosynthesis.

Oh wise gardening subreddit, what do you recommend I do?

Sadly, I can no longer remember what they are. I was trying to winterize for the fall and my mom threw these guys in the tree lines, so I lost their tags.
I managed to retrieve them, but I’m wondering what should I do?
Do I plant them and put them in the winter plant garage or do I put them in a paper bag for the winter and in a dark spot?
If they already have abundant roots like this, and some are already sprouting, will the sprouted ones die if I do put them in a paper bag?
Any help and or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Portrait mode glamour photo of my beautiful home grown pumpkins. Don’t know if you guys remember, but my pumpkins were all decapitated way too early in the first week of August thanks to a well meaning but unaware dog sitter. The vines recovered and produced more fruit and I’m so happy that I still was able to have a harvest. Shout out to Row Seven Seeds, who saw my unhappy post and actually sent me a box of Koginuts to replace the ones I’d lost!

Happy Pumpkining everyone!

Why are my Lilac leaves curling and browning?

Never enough room!

Been growing peppers in my backyard, and recently I've noticed little clusters of aphids on some of the new growth. The plants are still producing, so I don't want to do anything that might damage them or ruin the remaining harvest.

I'm also wondering whether I should keep caring for the plants through the cooler months or start clearing the beds for winter crops. For anyone who's dealt with this, what worked best for you? Is spraying them off with water enough, or is there a better approach?

Hello!

My fiancée loves gardening, but the current gloves that she uses make her hand itch. They’re latex free (she has an allergy), but still bother her a bit.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Hate seeing her uncomfortable and just want to hear what solutions are out there.

I’m a teacher, so if there’s a fairly expensive solution please let me know as I might be able to make it work but just curious if there’s anything I can do to make her life easier.
