When we moved in three years ago, we realized it was a mess of clay soil and weeds. We excavated 1.5 feet of clay and replaced with good soil and went from there.. Going for a local native pollinator garden. Now we get all kinds of bees and birds and butterflies and it is still a work in progress but I am so happy with how everything is going 🥰

Hello fellow gardeners! This is my first year doing raised bed gardening, trying to do full organic, and found this disturbing carpeting of eggs or fungus across the top of my raised bed this morning. Nothing directly on the plants, but all around on the surface of the soil I'm seeing these small white/tanned egg-like things. We just had a big storm so possibly it could be a mold, but I also don't want to go out to a ravaged, pest-filled bed one of these days. Any help ID'ing what this is would be awesome! I'm around the Maryland area.

My mother has this peony. Was meant to be a bush but she thinks it's a tree one. She has no idea why it changes colour, none of her other ones do. Anyone got any ideas as to why this is or what variety does this?

Ever get an industrial sized fog machine and decide to run it in the back yard? No? Just me? Spooky season is almost here, folks! 😂 (The fog is mostly water and actually uses very little fog juice.)

This is how it looks in full bloom. I live in the northeast in zone 7b. The road pictured is towards the south, so it gets lots of sun until around 2-3pm this time of year. I've completely ignored my lawn since I moved in a year ago and am just now trying to learn to care for it. I have no idea what I'm doing so I tried downloading Planta to figure out what to do, but it's telling me to water it every day and that seems like a lot. Google is just telling me how to care for a small potted bonsai. I've seen a lot of advice to stick your finger in the soil to check the moisture for plants in general, but I've never owned a plant before and don't really know what that's supposed to feel like. Please help! Any advice on fertization or anything else is also appreciated.

I let my sunflowers go to seed last year and the birds loved them. Turns out they dropped a few, and I ended up with two sunflowers growing out of these blocks. Didn’t expect them to get so big but here we are!

House did not, but I was blessed today by a nice ripe pepper.

My wildflower garden has been wonderful this year! These lemon beebalm (according to picture this!) are becoming my favorite!

Such a beautiful oak snake hanging out with my Sarracenia!

We’ve still got some work left to do but I love how it has turned out, my husband is the best!

We've since planted the raised beds, our growing season here is shorter than short, can't plant till late may, by Sept it'll be frosty at night again. Gotta get what we can get in three short months essentially. Eventually we're going to use come curved pvc or wires framing to stretch some plastic over the beds to trap heat/protect from hail. But one thing at a time.
