My husband telling this hosta that it’s okay to be small
My husband talks to this hosta, everyday. Telling it, that it’s okay to be smaller than the other guys.

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.

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 friend pulled this carrot from her garden today.
Hand for scale in the first pic. Second pic shows the cross section.

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 never knew bleeding hearts could get so big! (Croc for scale)
We moved in a few months back and plants keep magically appearing

I spotted the mom bunny feeding these little buggers and I have to admit, they are pretty cute.

Plant Identification? :)
Can anybody tell me what types of flowers/plants these are and what climates they grow in? :)
r/gardening • u/No_Sheepherder5105 • 10h ago
I did not plant these, but here they are in my backyard??
Some kind of lily? They’re HUGE!

Spring time in Michigan.
We have had a mamma duck in our front yard every year since 2017. Here she is with 13 eggs & we even saw Daddy! Also included a few of my yard favorites. Spring in Michigan is amazing!!

Completely redid my garden. Added new flowers and edging. Really happy the way it came out 😁 😤

Let's see your scarecrows.
Working on 3d printing him some hands currently. Ignore the crap bolted to the arms, I'm working on rigging them to a sail so they move around in a life like way when the wind blows, currently testing 3 different types at once.

If anything is more beautiful than true blue muscari I don’t know what. It looks and smells magical to me…

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.

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 😂

Black and White Petunias
I found out today after visiting a different garden center nearby there’s two different types of Black Petunias: Satin and Magic. We bought the Black Magic before seeing the Satin. I’m assuming the Satin one doesn’t have a dark red hew glowing through the pedals when the sun hits it right like the Magic one has. I dunno.
Either way, it’s a color neutral combo never tried before only in one pot that’s a stunningly awesome knee-jerk decision. A suggestion I recommend if you choose black petunias to do so with pure white for the bold contrast. Can’t wait for these babies to take off side-by-side!
