We encourages anyone with suggestions and opinions on your favorite flowers and roses to grow . Thank you so much.

Tommy Tomatoes I love growing azaleas!

Lizzie What a beautiful idea! Wormwood is a lovely plant with soft texture, Very pleasant to look at.

Hettie Zinnias are easy to grow and so pretty.

Andy For the pollinators, you can't go wrong with some native species. Search online by your state and "native flowers" to get started on some ideas.

communitygardener2023 Thank you so much for your ideas / suggestions from each of you that posted a response to our post. We will definitely add these to rhe garden.

Brand new to the app...just setting up my raised bed garden plans. I cannot figure out how to set up my individual planter boxes to my exact dimensions. I click on the corner to expand it...but it won't let me fiddle with the exact size. It shows me width and length...but they seem fixed. How can I enter the exact dimensions of my already established raised beds?

Lizzie Welcome Bel! What dimensions are you looking to get?

Hello, new friends. I am in zone 7. Smack dab on the line of 7a and 7b. I'm so glad that Growfully With Jenna did a video about this site, yesterday. It took pertnear all day but, I got all three of my gardens created yesterday. I look forward to learning new things!

John Ehrling Welcome! I look forward to chatting with you about gardening!

Hettie I also saw the site on Growfully with Jenna. She's super! And I'm so glad to be here.

Is there a way to change the orientation of the plants to match my layout not being perpendicular to the page.
my garden is not square to my property line. Theres no handle to rotate the plants.

John Ehrling Hi Mike. Plants that are grown in rows can be planted vertically or horizontally. Larger plants grown standalone, can be rotated with the extra long handle

Lisa That's not working for me. Sometimes clicking on the piece I've added works but more times it doesn't respond to even clicking on it, let alone moving it around by the long piece. I once got one of the beds to widen but could not get it to lengthen downward. Is this a beta version? I'm unable to glean explanation for this from the 2 hortisketch videos.

John Ehrling Hi Lisa, Hortisketch is fully functional. Since it is web-based sometimes certain web browsers can cause issues. Which web browser are you using and is it up to date with the latest version? The long piece is for rotation. To move the icon around the space you click in the middle, directly onto the icon. I hope this helps! If you need more assistance, shoot us an email info@gardensavvy.com

Lisa Well I supppose that could be it. I use the Brave browser.

Greetings everyone!
Eneath here bringing the gardening game!
That's "beneath" without the B, sharp E.
Today I enjoyed spending quality time with my little one, all the will sowed seeds for herbs and peppers. Also attempting the crossing of peppers.

I'd like to thank my lovely wife for finding this place for me and I hope to get to know some of you soon. 😁

Eneath's Botanicals all the while sowing*
No edit button I see.

Lizzie Welcome! What zone are you in?

Eneath's Botanicals I'm either in 8b or 9a.
I'm not sure of which.

Here's a photo of my tomatoes and peppers from a few years ago - it's getting to be time to think about what seeds to start in preparation for spring, even though my garden is under about 6 inches of snow at the moment, here in Southwestern Ohio. I have an article that I just posted on my blog that I wrote about tomatoes, if anyone is interested I can post a link in the comments!

Lizzie Post a link. I'd love to check it out!

Bren I like this set up!

I love cooking and eating with eggplant, which is why I try and plant it in my garden every year.

Heather Stone This variety really looks like a tomato!

DeepPlanter It does. If I remember correctly, I think this was an Indian Eggplant. I took this pic about 2 years ago.
