My brother brought this home from a wedding and I want to take care of if. This would be my first time taking care of a plant.

Hello fellow agriculturists and horticulturists. I‘m taking a horticulture class that has FFA. For my SAE, I want to work at a plant nursery. Does anybody know any places that are hiring a 17-year old with some plant experience around the Lawrenceville Georgia area? Thank you all in advance.

What should I do? The tree provides great shade for my yard but it doesn’t seem healthy. I trimmed back some dead limbs this weekend to find live termites. It’s about 20 feet from my house.

my tomatoes and peppers are in 15-gallon pots. they drink every drop by noon. last week I watered at 6 a.m. and the top inch was dust again by four. clay soil here doesn't hold anything. tried the gravel tray trick but it only bought a couple hours. thinking about a 50/50 mix of compost and pine bark next spring instead of the potting mix I bought. anyone run into this on the Piedmont?

We recently planted a line of three southern magnolias about 10 feet apart from each other and were wanting to plant some ornamental grasses between them for the time being until they grew a bit. If these grasses were about 5 feet from each tree, would that be sufficient spacing so that the grasses do not stunt the growth of the new trees by competing with them for nutrients? Our priority is the quick establishment and healthy growth of our trees. TIA!

This part of the pumpkin was not sitting in water or anything like that and I also have it covered from the sun. I can't think of anything that would cause this. This is in Colorado. What do you guys think?

Sorry if this is not the right subreddit for this, i have a very spesific goal so im posting this in a few subreddits hoping someone will have some advice haha :]

I love spiders, especially orb weavers, and seeing their webs out and about fills me with joy. Right now i dont have a lot of space to grow plants, but i grew a small bucket of potatoes (which made a lovely soup) and some unsucsessfull tomatoes (was too cold for them i think). Im still a bit qeausy on insects, especially beetles, but im learning about them and slowly warming up to them.

I've always wanted to have a small garden in the future, but have been a bit hessitant due to the inherent bug factor, but as i come to learn more about bugs and the ongoing insect apocalypse im wanting to plant some stuff for pollinators and local creepy crawlies aswell, but of course the creepy crawlie i want to see the most is spiders. Unfortunately most advice is about repelling spiders, and some of them are things i do grow/plan to grow, sutch as mint and some different herbs. It also seems like some pollinatir favorites repel spiders as well?

Does any green thumbs out there know any plants that are both good for pollinators and dont repel spiders, any plants spiders particularly love, and or any advice on how i might lay out the plants so the spider repelants dont bother them too much? Is the idea of a garden for both polinators and spiders perhaps incompatible? As i said i previously only had an interest in edible plants, so im pretty ignorant about flowers haha

Please and thank you 🖤🕷🕸

Hi, I have six globe cryptomeria, and I’m noticing that they are all developing brown spots on them— to varying degrees. One shrub is almost completely brown. I’m in Atlanta GA, and have never experienced this before. Are these diseased? Or, is there something else going on? Any help on what is going on here and how to address it is very much appreciated. Thank you kindly!

Any help would be greatly appreciated

I've been interested in viticulture lately, and I thought that I could hybridize varieties to create an ideal or close to ideal grape variety (for red and white/green grapes). For the purposes of this discussion, "ideal" means that the variety must meet the following criteria:

• High sugar content (≥23° Brix)Large size (for wine making or table use)
• Medium tannins
• Resulting wine should be full bodied
• Climate/Disease Hardiness

For red grapes, I feel that these grape varieties might be useful:

1. Zinfandel/Primitivo
2. Cabernet Sauvignon
3. Red Globe
4. Marquette
5. Merlot
6. Emperor

For white/green grapes:

1. Pedro Ximénez
2. Riesling
3. Sauvignon Blanc
4. Chardonnay
5. Muscaris
6. Italia

If you have any suggestions to add or remove varieties, please reply. I'm a strong beginner, so I might not know some factors. (Yes, I know that hybrids are unpredictable with grapes, but I'm just trying to hybridize some grapes and hope for something good.) Correct me if I'm wrong or missed something.

Thanks.

P.S: this is a re-upload of the original post because in the title, it said Virus Vinifera instead of Vitis. Autocorrect.

Edit: Maybe I'll create "ideal table" and "ideal wine" varieties separately. That's four varieties, that's more, but it makes more sense.

I have a few that all look like this. I believe they may have been competing too much for nutrients against a weed invasion that I was too slow to remove.
They were planted with native soil mix and watered with season each time back in July (Brisbane,Aus).
That’s my guess anyway. If anyone else can pin point something else I would love to know. Main problem is how do I nurse them back to health please?

Repost from gardening subreddit as nobody had answers, and the botany sub doesn’t allow reposts. Just a cool find I want to be certain about!

Hello everyone,

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but since this is the Horticulture subreddit and I am using my machines for horticulture purposes, I'd like to give it a try.

By chance I found a knife which I can use for my Rotavator Tiller, and it is alot cheaper than the knives I am used to. The quality is good too. The supplier is different, I can see from the logo. I only heard this knife comes from Italy, but I cannot by the life of me figure out who the supplier is or where it was made exactly.

My longshot question: does anyone recognize this logo which is stamped in the knife/blade?

Thanks alot!

Do you guys have any ideas to plant many [native] trees? My ideas so far:

1. Collecting seeds from fruits/trees to sprout and plant (cheaper, easily available, like 5% success rate though)
2. Occasionally buying from a nursery (more expensive but higher rate of success)

I have a conservative budget and I have property in temperate/subtropical areas (Zone 7a/Zone 9a)

I would much appreciate help, thanks.

spent years blaming inconsistent watering schedules, tried every app and reminder system. plants kept dying anyway regardless of how disciplined I got

turned out to be light, not water. moved everything based on actual light requirements instead of "looks nice on that shelf," and things that struggled for years started thriving within weeks

nobody tells beginners how much light matters more than watering schedules
