Gardening for Old Folks (Adaptative)

[CapricornFarm]

went out this morning early before it got so hot and planted sunflower plants i had started in the greenhouse, also planted one row of carrots and husband planted three sweet potato hills for me, to my surprise one row of my green beans are up but yet the other row and a half are still just dirt, don't understand why some are up and the other, nothing.
have a few tomatoes on the plants i think its my peach tomatoes, those are so good and sweet

Have you tried soaking the beans the night before you plant them?

All the indoor plants seem to be happier than they have been in a while. I put some Jobes spikes in the pots and added 2 grow lights. Whatever that is at the top is finally showing some real growth. The Lily at the bottom too.

The top one looks like a variegated ivy.

Any advice for blueberry bushes? Just bought some. Thanks!

Aren't pine needles good mulch for them?

I have read to plant them by pines, so maybe.

I believe that people mulch them heavily with pine straw.

Mine are in a half barrel in a peat mixture with soil amendments and rabbit poo.

No, not ivy the leaves are the wrong shape. It's something else.

ETA I think it's a philodendron

Things are going into bloom so I thought I'd share. I have 2 tulip trees. One blooms and other never did. They are both same age about 25 feet tall.

Since I am not growing trees for lumber, have been replanting with flowering varieties. The tulip trees are the tallest. Most of the other trees are medium height when mature. (just like I want)

Take a gander through the pics...maybe you can find your culprit?
