Wanted: Tangerine Tree or Cutting in Perth WA

by gotica,

Howdy,

I'm on the hunt for a tangerine tree or cutting should someone have an established tree. I've tried a few local nurseries and even Bunnings with no luck.

by gotica,

Well not technically sinned, but yanno it's been awhile since I've updated…

My zucchini succummed to mildew and well, just did not make it through. I ended up pulling them and have planted Kale in their place. The strawberries may be also slightly affected by mildew as they are going grey be…

Overgrown rhubarb

Watering

by maco,

So, um, watering's important. Yep. Very important.

Well, what with moving into the house and all THAT entails…my plants are looking the worse for wear. They haven't gotten enough water. The oregano is dead. The basil and chives are just hanging on. The tomatoes have sort of purple leaves. Se…

An example of "other" plantings

by Skud,

Just a note of something edible I planted, that won't ever be in our crops database, and would be a prime candidate for the "other" option we've talked about implementing: I just planted a big wide container with Diggers Club "Microgreen Winter Mix" which contains red russian kale,…

Jcaudle and I just pushed a bunch of new features to the site, including:

  • You can now add older photos from Flickr, n…

We're currently planning what we're going to work on next for Growstuff. We built the basics of the website, but there's so much more to do. If you've got a few minutes to spare, I'd really appreciate it if you'd take the time to answer this survey. It …

urban gardens in Kerala

Miracle of winter

by malissa,
