Tropical babies it looks like it could be violet but i am not 100% enough for you to go out and eat it. The leaf structure and flowers look very similar, though I can't quite see the front of the flowers which would make me more comfortable verifying. Here is a good photo of the variety that I...
I grew borage last year and it was beautiful! Painted lady caterpillars like crazy though. I took some and raised them till release. So much frass. Way more than my monarchs. Very happy with the plants otherwise. Honey bees and bumblebees absolutely loved them! 🐝
Thanks NewBoots! My favorite is the purple hyacinth bean vine! They really are a show stopper! I plant them on the arbor entrance into my vegetable garden. This was my first year saving seeds from them and was so happy with the germination rate and was able to give the seeds to anyone who...
Here's my starts so far!
Tomatoes!
Zucchini, yellow squash, pumpkin.
My Dahlia tubers are doing great! I think 2 are blue boy and the other I don't remember the name but it looks like fire and is huge and gorgeous!
I have here annual china aster, black swan poppy and a giant marigold.

I started some artichokes from seed and had almost perfect germination. AllenK RGV maybe your seeds were no good? Yet to see what they can really do in my climate. Second year so maybe I will get one. :confused:
Didn't do anything in the garden today. Had problems with a cockerel. Heavy breathing and a cough. Never dealt with this sort of thing. He is separated now and seems improved but I don't know what is going on. Hoping all my chicks don't get sick now. 😞 (If anyone is good with diagnosis...
Didn't do anything in the garden since it was cold! Snow on the ground in the morning was an unwelcome sight. Good thing the low temps didn't upset any of my emerging plants. Here's some springtime michigan photos for you all.

I LOVE the clearance rack at lowes! Makes me sad we might not be able to do as much plant browsing and buying as normal this year. I just want to be in my happy place which is a well stocked greenhouse full of perennials and vegetables and herbs! 😭 Good thing I saved a lot of flats and trays...
Planted yukon gold potatoes in the garden yesterday. Started swiss chard, lactinato kale, bibb lettuce, green and red acre cabbage. Never had success with cabbage before. If anyone has any tips please give me some! I also potted up my dahlia tubers to get a nice head start on them for the...
Where are you located? I started some artichokes from seed last year and mine haven't started coming up yet. I can see the foliage there still just hasn't started sprouting yet. I don't know what to expect.
Thank you tropicalbabies she is a mix easter egger and buff orpington i believe. I built that gate last year! I have to scrounge for some more branches to build another one for my other entrance and making some trellises too.
GinGia is that a mastiff in your profile photo? That is my dog of choice as well! Very cute! I don't know if it is forced perspective or what but it looks huge!
Does anyone have any advise for a first time potato plant? I bought a 5 lb bag of yukon gold seed potatoes. Should I plant them right in my garden? Or go the container route?
