What do you find challenging?
ChubbyMoonie replied to gemmy's topic in The Patch's General Discussion
What I find challenging is the fact that where I live now we experience all seasons. Meanwhile in Puerto Rico is summer all year. I used to have a wonderful garden with trees, foliage and all sort of tropical flowers/plants that would survive no matter what. Here I find it so hard to maintain anything alive everytime a season changes 😅 -

Great to see the bees enjoying your rhododendrons!
-
OH AND I WANTED TO SHARE THIS TOO!! It's a bee (and it's butt) and a rhododendron's love story, in four parts 😂🐝💞

@GayKitten haha awww... I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😊 The variegated Lily of the valley in the pic is relatively new and has just begun to multiply this year. They aren't as aggressive as the regular variety. I'll have to show you a pic of my normal ones to show you how dense and unruly those ones can get, lol.

Garden Adventure Part Two! 7. Little checks on the new flower and the baby rhubarb... 8. While Spidey "checks" on the new Lupin... 9. After their hard work, Little and Spidey play on the giant hosta leaves! Whee! 10. Now to rest and enjoy the beautiful view above... the chestnut leaves have opened! The end!

OMGGGGG @gigisweetheart THIS IS SO FREAKING CUTE AND I’M SURE MADE AN AMAAAAAZING GIFT!!! Can’t wait to see more!!! alsooooo I am SO EXCITED to know someday my lily of the valley might be that lush!! 💖

Hi folks! I worked on a birthday project for my friend involving some photos of plants from my garden. I figured I could share some of the pics here because I think you might enjoy them. I tried to resize them so hopefully they aren't massive. They might not be the best quality but you'll get the general idea. 🌟A Little's Adventure with Spidey and Bow-wow the Dog🌟 PART ONE 1. A bee enjoys a snack from the lungwort - a bee favorite! 2. Little braves the creeping jenny and some weeds to view the Lily of the valley... 3. Bow-wow wants to taste the lungwort too! Bow-wow! Get down from there! 4. Spidey webs up to the begonia - any guesses why he likes the flower so much? 5. Little joins Spidey for a chat in a flower pot... 6. While Bow-wow checks the mini pumpkins! He can't wait to eat them! To be continued...

Just my lil snapdragon buddy popping in to say "Hiiiiiiiii and I hope you have a great week!" 😂🐲💖

@daddyswiss just casually putting all of our gardens to shame with that STUNNING garden! 🤣😂💛
-
But wait! I think a certain hosta is called elephant ear hosta too! 😂 Yours is definitely a hosta but let’s call it elephant ears because it sounds cuter (and because plant naming people need to be shot out of a canon). 🤣 And your clover picture is so beautiful! 😭 I wish ‘Honey I Shrunk the Kids’ was real (but without ants chasing me and without the French kissing 🤭🤭🤭) so that I could live in that little patch of grass! 😍
-
Loved this close-up shot of the clovers in our backyard sprouting flowers -- it looks so magical and fairy-like from this angle! I've been sending it around to everyone and now that includes y'all 😂❤️
-
Woooooow, those wisteria are STUNNING!!! Thank you for sharing @daddyswiss, keep us posted on what else starts to bloom! ❤️
-
Awww thank you @gigisweetheart!!! Aaaaaand OMG YOU ARE RIGHT, those plants ARE hostas!!! My friend just came over and called them elephant ears and I just took his word for it ever since......but this DOES explain a lot, liiiiike why they look so much like the much-smaller hosta I have in a different part of the yard 😅 Off to correct the image description!!!
-
Such an amazing yard
-
Beautiful plants, thanks for sharing! I didn’t realize this community existed It’s springtime and the garden is starting to bloom The roses, peonies, wisteria have all started to open up

Looks like it's really doing well -
What are your thoughts and experiences using gardening bags (the big thick ones intended for planting) instead of gallon buckets? I currently use buckets, though I'd like to get away from plastic use for my veggies in particular. I've seen the bags recommended, but have never used them.
-
Welcome! These are stunning plants, thank you so much for sharing with us. I'm looking forward to seeing more!
-
I thought this plant wasn't going to make it. A relative had been underwatering it and the leaves turned brown (some spots still visible). He's perked up and grown since I brought him home a few weeks ago!
-
It looks so good I would gladly see all your beautiful gardens
-
Also also! (I keep forgetting things I wanted to say, lol): thank you for starting this thread. Just a moment ago I was thinking of starting a post of my garden progress too! 😊 I wouldn’t mind following everyone’s journey. 🥳
-
My guess with the mystery flower is columbine? The leaves and flower look similar. 😊 I had no idea there was a hosta called elephant ear! That’s adorable. I just call all of them hostas and then think of the other plant that is also called elephant ear. 😄 Lovely garden!!! If I ever get onto my laptop I would love to share photos too. I can’t wait to see the progress of your garden through the season. Also! That freaking rhododendron! 😍 Stunning!
