    😂 I have had quite a few plant care misadventures over the years. But, my absolutely wildest experience was in finding two adorable succulents in a floral shop inside a grocery store. I gave one to a friend and kept one for myself. For months, I was so excited that my little succulent was still alive. After a time, I started thinking of upgrading the succulent's container. During the container inspection, I was undone. It was a very real-looking plastic plant in a foam board "substrate," which is why my misting and watering efforts appeared to be working! I couldn't do anything but laugh at myself.

    Couple of yeqrs ago, my first year in my allotment I was delighted to find a a small established cherry (my favourite fruit) tree. Bought a special netting to keep the birds and feared fruit fly out. The fruits started to look so tasty and juicy. Since I was in a rush I promised myself a very special cherry harvest celebration the following day. Early next day I came in the garden and guess what... yes, somebody came and harvested all and every cherry and put the netting back. I was dumbfounded and stood probably a while there starring at the cherry tree. I could not believe my eyes. People can be so cruel and thoughtless. Just hope it was someone really poor and could not afford.to buy cherries.

    My sister moved and asked me to take care of her plant until she had room. The sticker said it was a palm but all I did was water it so I never actually looked into it. Eventually it shot up and I looked it up so I could repot it correctly. Turned out it was a Rose of Sharon. I could have just put it in the yard or garden but I've been babying it for over a year thinking it was tropical or something 😂

    As a child (3-4), I was told the old story of a baby being found in a cabbage patch. I came to the idea that much like seeds when you put people in the ground that a cabbage with a baby in it would grow and that cemeteries were people farms where moms and dads would go to pick out new babies. My family discovered this during my great grandmother's funeral when I asked how long the cabbage took to grow. 😂

    My most recent gardening fail was earlier this spring. Where I live we have a massive problem with slugs and snails, its the south of england so its wet and warm in the spring which is ideal for them to breed like crazy. I learned that if you pluck slugs and snails up in the evening and chuck them into a bucket of 50/50 water and vinegar solution, they die right away and you don't need to use any slug bait or poisons. Well I did that, I got every slug and snail big or small I could find, looked under pots and behind benches, it was a slug genocide. Once I was done it was pretty dark out so I decided I would empty out the slug bucket in the morning. Well it stormed the following day so I put it off for the next, and then promptly forgot about the slug bucket. Once the weather cleared up a week or so later I happily went out to do some spring gardening and discovered the most putrid rotting bucket of pickled slug slime, the vinegar had disolved all the shells and it was just a black syrup that smelled of putrid rot. It was so bad I cried and my partner had to go deal with it because he has basically no sense of smell. Ive since changed over to an organic iron/ferrous based slug pellet haha

Y'all along with David the Good, a few books and some lasagna mulching (compliments of getchipdrop) have turned me into something useful over the last year. 2020 to 2023 was just big trash panda mountain for me. Mulching on top of plastic weed barrier confused as to why things are drying out... planting corn in the shade in the dead heat of summer. Planting carrots and greens in June in Florida... yeah.

    My worst gardening fail:
    I am 12 years old, andi live in Paris and 3 years ago i got chili peppers seeds so i can hybridise them (red yellow and brown carolina reapers, KS lemon starrburst and choco ghost jami) and the yellow reaper didn’t sprouted. I put all 5 plants in a 8x19x7 inches. Then, mold grew on the soil, and i killed it with citric acid. It worked, but some of the acid went on the beast pepper and killed it. Then, the other one where about to bloom, i was so exited until aphids made the flowers died. The next year, the peppers started to bloom again, and i putted them indoors because it was winter. The flowers didn’t made any pollen and i only got a single pepper.

    This year I decided to start small & planted about 6 Yukon Gold potatoes. I had followed all the steps & felt confident. While they grew, I had been researching too many other details on plants. One day, I noticed yellow dying stalks. A little annoyed, I told my husband that he killed off some of my potato plants from not watering. Soon after, I cut the yellow & some ugly looking stalks off & then remembered I was to leave the yellow stalks, then harvest. 😂 That huge pot still sits in my backyard. My kids weren’t interested & I’m afraid to look. I’ll report back!

I didn’t know. I was trying to keep it small in a container and it was stressed out. So I put a round Birdie bed around it and it grew really tall. I prune it. It gets flowers as it starts warming up in Chicago and then we get a freeze out of nowhere and huge winds. Twice now I had one apple. The squirrel got the first and this year there was a tiny one and it was bored through by something and rotted inside. I do want to pull it out because it’s taking up space in my small backyard.

      To everynody that keeps saying arrest the cherry thief, yes it's sad, but if its not the first harvest you actually are going to use, then it's not something to sue over. However, for the first harvest or two, a rare harvest that makes through a frost, or a bigger tree that gets partially or completely stripped, yes I'm with you on that. I'm normally a nice person, but if someone did that to me I would be out for blood a little bit. On the other hand..... guilt tripping them isn't a bad idea either so long as it's not really exaggerated.

    Epic Garden; yes cattle even a very pregnant cow can jump a 41/2 to 5 foot fence rather easily. But if all dietary needs are met they won't ever try. I grew up on a small cattle farm. I've seen it and it's funny to watch but not as funny to herd them back to the field they came from. 😊

    22:58 Ah yes. Ye olde Fetid Swamp Water. Honestly, it turns out to be the only positive use for bermuda grass clippings (that I've found so far). When I'm done soaking the yard waste (for a very, very long time... can't be too careful with bermuda grass) it goes into the compost. Using a mesh brew bag helps keep the clippings separate from the tea.

I went all out with clay my first year and it was barely noticeable weeks in after it properly incorporated and left the surface

    I was waiting this year for my plums to be perfectly ripe before I pick them and I guess I waited too long because a wind storm knocked them out of the tree and I saw a pack of deer devouring them the next morning. This plum (that my great grandfather planted from seed) only produces every 2 years because of where it is planted (and maybe age at this point) and I was so sad for days after

Starting the second patch in the spring hopefully.

    I planted a garden in my front yard this year. I hesitated because of in case someone steals stuff. If I caught someone.. im with you guys. I would not respond very kindly. You ask. You do not take. Its litterly taking food out of someone else's mouth. I use all of what I grow in my gardens. I mean... I do have a few neighbors i have told they can take stuff. But they don't strip the plant bare. Its a small percentage. And its the one plant I grow more than I need. And most importantly... I told them it's ok. If I came out and they stripped it bare. Id never let them touch my garden again. Idk if you can do anything legal to this neighbor. Even if you could might be too much of a hassle. But still I would absolutely ensure they understood without question what they did was inexcusable and will not be tolerated. And they need to compensate me in some way.
    My fails this year. I didn't catch some of my pumpkins sets moved to my cucumber sets and out competed them. So I had lots of pumpkins 😂. Very little cucumbers.
    My other fail was watermelon. Grew 6 beautiful watermelon to perfect ripeness. I tried to make watermelon jelly and watermelon wine. I didn't notice i accidentally smashed in a few seeds. Made the liquid completely unpalatable. No amount of sugar was saving that. So I had to toss it. 😢 it litterly tasted like liquid watermelon seeds. 🤢🤮

    Bought some cheap citrus trees from Costco this year to turn into bonsai projects... gnarliest white fly and other pest infestation ever. As soon as I put the tree outside, I watched one fly off the Costco tree and onto one of my prized rare fruit trees. All of my plants have white fly and I've been battling them for months. NEVER buy plants from Costco! It's not worth the savings.

    We have had DOZENS of Prairie Cottontails in our garden. They don't bother hardly anything. If you're growing carrots, keep those fenced in cuz Rabbits WILL eat them, but other than that...nothing. None of my many various greens, none of the solanaceous plants, de nada. Rabbits eat GRASS. I have made a GREAT mistake though: Drott's Ground Cherry & Mexican Midget Tomatoes now grow wild every year in my gardens (all of them), despite the fact that the ground cherries were initially very hard to grow. Now though? Volunteers EVERYWHERE, and the Mexicans are incredibly prolific cherry tomatoes!

    I found a meta-analysis of horticultural research that found reduced damage to plants in fields that had ants farming aphids compared to fields without ants. Sure, there are some ants that bring aphids into the garden, but there may be benefits from ants that more than offset the aphids.
    Overall, fields with ants produced significantly more than fields without ants.

(pumpkin patch is on our border between our properties, but still WELL on my terf)
    sigh... i was to angry to even tell her what she did... My wife went back to tell her that the floweres were needed to become pumpkins...
    BUT next day a emberassed neighbour with flowers for my wife and a 6 pack for me stood at the door ... lesson learned and she will not be doing that in the future
    Pumpkins grew more flowers and i had a great overal harvest....
