    Ideal garden size

    Make your garden big enough you don't regret it later, or small enough you don't regret it later idk (i can live with running out of energy but having energy but no where to use it is another story). Fortunately you can do something in the garden every day unless the soil is frozen I know...

    I've finally come to appreciate hazelnuts

    I know, nutella is great, but when it comes to actually growing, why pick hazelnuts? To me they were just scrawny little understory trees in the woods that on their own never did a whole lot. They don't grow that big, they're overhyped, and in general i prefer black walnuts. I picked 250...

    What did you do in your garden today?

    We made some passion fruit kombucha that was really good, otherwise you can suck on the seed pulp when they just barely start to turn yellow

    Sunflowers 2026

    Shell the seeds off the flowers and airdry them before placing in a bag/jar somewhere safe I usually wait till the leaves start yellowing at least, but you gotta balance the birds eating all of them with get every last drop out of the plant

    Psuedocydonia sinensis/Chinese Quince

    Yes better than crab apples. I got a tasty crab apple (john masek) that's really good as apple butter/preserves. But if you want fruit a no spray apple is usually still better than crabs. But the flowers tho This is a crab asian pear, most likely a hybrid with callery, and the fruit quality...

    Psuedocydonia sinensis/Chinese Quince

    One of my favorite no spray fruit trees. They make large 2lb extremely hard fruit with a distinct flavor that's similar to apple but better I think. We make jelly out of it, sometimes teas

    Why won't a child of my orange tree give fruit. It's 7 years old now!

    It was a fools errand in a greenhouse but the sunk cost fallacy is strong

    Why won't a child of my orange tree give fruit. It's 7 years old now!

    We have a large fig in a greenhouse that stopped producing from over pruning. You can tell because it grows extremely vigorously and then doesn't flower. After cutting it's roots it gave us an amazing yield. But i don't think that's the case for you. Probably it just needs another year to...

    Why won't a child of my orange tree give fruit. It's 7 years old now!

    If she planted seed it has a long juvenile phase, usually you can tell by the presence of long thorns. Then the leaves change and it matures and only then will flower If it was a cutting it would already be mature and should start fruiting. You've never seen flowers? Looks mature from what...
