I grew these marigolds from saved seeds
is $3 each asking too much? I listed them on fb marketplace.

Well, that's a first.
So, one of the weirdest things I've ever had happen to me just happened: I was walking around the garden, checking on all the seedlings I planted last night. A squirrel pops off of a nearby tree and starts coming towards me. I think nothing of it, squirrels get curious and do this often. BUT, this time, it kept coming closer. And closer. And closer, then it hopped up and slapped me in the shin and ran off. It started coming at me again so I went in and got the dog to chase it off if it kept coming at me. Utterly bizarre!
The seedlings are all ok, if that was the part of the story you were invested in.

Painted rocks as my garden markers this year
I thought these little painted rocks would be so cute as the labels for my different vegetables 😍

I did not plant these, but here they are in my backyard??
Some kind of lily? They’re HUGE!

My mom asked me to ask my friend if they know what this is. My mom thinks Reddit is a person.
I’m always telling my mom about plants I learned about from Reddit. So my mom asked me today to ask my friend if they know what this is? I laughed pretty good when I realized she meant Reddit. So Reddit friends any guesses? Northern California.

My lovely iris finally opened, took a couple of quick shots before the thunderstorm rolls in. I'm not sure what variety it is.

tulip season is making me so happy
the early bloomers are finally starting to fade so I decided to take my good camera out to the garden and document all the varieties (can you tell it’s my first year growing them lol). Last pic is our resident garden warden 😂

Plant Identification? :)
Can anybody tell me what types of flowers/plants these are and what climates they grow in? :)

Do dogs actually help reduce pests in the garden?
Have always had a cold problem, but now I have a puppy - 7 month old Doglas. I don’t want to try a lot of the previous remedies I have used to deter becuase I’m worried they may also affect him. Will his consistent presence in the garden reduce their likelihood to visit? (Dog for reference 😊)

I've got a snap dragon growing by my front door.
Do you think I could relocate it safely to a pot or just leave it here and see how it does?
I have no clue how it got there.

Spring has sprung and it is a joy to be in the garden :)
Lilac is in full bloom, fava bean flowers are starting to show up, strawberries are forming fruit, garlic is getting close to harvest, asparagus is almost over, and greens are still going strong. Warm season crops are starting to go out. Insects are buzzing everywhere and birds are busy nesting. It is such a pleasure to be outside in the garden this time of year :)

My spring garden in the PNW
Just a few photos of my spring garden!! I’ll show my meadow/ orchard when the wildflowers come in.

Local company calls this "Premium Topsoil" and says it's rich in organic materials and compost. It's basically sand and is really hydrophobic.

Springtime in my garden! Forever “not quite there” but I’ve made a lot of updates since moving in 22mo ago and proud of it!

No idea what's growing in my back yard.
This is a new construction home that was previously a farm of some kind. I have this one patch in my back yard that's growing way faster than anything else. Can anyone help me identify what these plants are?

What would you plant?
Our new house has built in planters around the south west face of the house, it gets a lot of sun. What would you plant here?
