Emily Just beginning to think about my community garden at Clark Gardens and what I will plant this spring.

Im new to gardening . I have no experince and have been making research and next week i start on my dream garden. I want flowers and trees and fruits and vegetables . I was told this is the month for planting backyard gardens . Currently making research on frost tolerant tress and shrubs

John Ehrling Try GardenAI, it is part of this app. It can make some recommendations for you!

Rebecca Planting timing all depends on where you live! I'm in New England, and my ground is too hard and cold to plant much of anything yet. What area are you in?

R. Mitchell I have been gardening 50+ years. Big vegetale garden, cottage garden, and hoseplants here in Ohio.

R. Mitchell .......... The important thing is to have a bulldog tenacity, never give up no matter what happens.

John Ehrling What have you tried to fix it?

Hello,
I just signed up to try this platform. I love gardening, and just growing things. My goal is to grow food for my family to be self sufficient. I bought 10 acres a couple years ago, and during that time I've been making my orchard, and planting perennials that bear food.

This year I'll be continuing with growing my orchard, but expand out to starting my gardening. I want to start off with something that can be stored easily, and our family likes to eat.

It's still snowy here, so I'm still in the planning stage. I hope this is a good platform, and look forward to all the wonderful posts, and knowledge I gain.


A. E. Me too

John Ehrling I look forward to you sharing your photos!

I want to grow lily of the valley. Does it do well as a houseplant?

A. E. Try the Ai feature for help

Rebecca My gut says no? It needs winter dormancy, so I don't think it would be happy indoors

In years past, my biggest problem has been Creeping Charlie weed or ground cover, however you choose to think about it. After talking with my friend, a master gardener, i decided to cooperate with Charlie and use it as a ground cover, keeping it 7 inches away from my plants. Not everyone's solution, but mine for the moment. For me, it's a lot easier.


John Ehrling What a unique idea. Can you share some photos with us?

Anna Yes, I'll take some pics this week.

Having a hard time dragging the vegetables into the grid. It is the size of a dot which doesn't get any bigger when I zoom in. Any ideas how to fix this so I can finish designing my garden?
thanks

John Ehrling I look forward to connecting with you to help! See you soon.

A. E. I’ve never had this problem. Try the tutorial for help

Its January and I am ready to get a head start on the gardening season. The picture is my Begonias seeds just starting to sprout. In another few weeks I will be able to transplant into individual cells. If you are interested in the light table in the picture:https://gardensavvy.com/gardening-blog/supplies/how-to-extend-the-growing-season/ I am also excited about this new GardenSavvy App. Its “AI” feature is very handy when I go to a nursery as it gives me the ability to look up plant information on the spot.
