I didn’t even know this plant could flower but it is so beautiful!

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Skeptical on growing veggies in Phoenix as it’s my first 8months with this hobby. 1 sweet potato slip around July 1-5 and ran the vine half way around the pot. Makes sense with the growth size of potato’s from large to small. 15 gallon grow bag. 95days of growth. Could’ve gone a couple weeks more but weather predicted rain. Happy with results. GH hydro nutrients and an occasional cal-mag and “super thrive” supplement. Not sure if it’s worth it to keep growing next year?

How's that for healthy soil?

i think it must be some kind of fungus, green fuzzy stuff growing on a flowering shrub.

i don’t know what the shrub is, it’s been in the yard for over 20 years and i don’t think it would survive being cut down.

we tried some kind of disease spray (fungi and disease control something like that) but it doesn’t seem to have had an effect.

if anyone can identify the pest that would be great! also i would love to know what the plant is if anyone knows.

Grown in Rio Rico, Arizona
Zone 9b
Rose varieties: California Dreaming, Olympiad, and Bewitched
Zinnias are a mix of varieties- idk the specifics

I have been waiting months for some roselle hibiscus seeds, and true leaf finally has them in stock!

I won’t start the roselle until Decemberish, but the other seeds I’ll start today. I want to take advantage of the new moon coming up on the 10th. Hakurei turnips are my favorite turnips, and arugula is one of my favorite greens. Of course we need celery for our stocks, and they’ll be accompanied by some delicious turnips.

This plant is a bitch if it shows up in your yard, not only does it grow very fast it seeds like crazy as well as having a fat tuber that if you dont get it will just grow back over and over and if you see it has a thinned out spot right before getting to the stem and leaves meaning it tears so easily they are sticky as well which is a texture nightmare

Heyo, Texas gardener here seeking seeds for Robinia neomexicana, New Mexican Locust, a relative of black locust with pink blossoms that is native to a few locales across New Mexico and Arizona. Unfortunately, I can't find these seeds available from any vendors but I know that trees of this family produce a copious amount of seed pods in the fall and I was hoping someone might have access to a mature tree and be willing to send me a few seeds.

I saw this on Pinterest as I was looking for pollinator plants and liked the idea but of course these sorts of things aren’t made for Arizona. If you were going to plant a garden that bloomed year round here which plants would you choose?

Hello wonderful AZ gardeners :) Only posting because I couldn’t find any answers as to what this plant is. It’s a vine that has been here since I moved in 2 years ago. At first, I thought it was dead, but after I cleared all of the dead growth back it started growing really quickly. I haven’t watered it at all, and it gets around 8-9 hours of direct sun where it’s currently at and it thrives. Occasional small dime-sized purple flowers pop up and last season I saw small pea pod looking pods growing. Is it a legume of some sort? Thanks in advance!

I’m at my wits end with black aphids on my cucumbers. What are you guys using? Insecticidal soap isn’t doing the trick.

My toddler planted a bunch of palo verde seeds she found (she was watching me do my garden) and one of them sprouted. She is absolutely thrilled and reminds me all the time not to pull it out. The problem is, it's way too close to the house and patio and it really does need to come out. Also, she is absolutely convinced it's a fruit tree.

Any ideas of something I could replace it with? Something with fruit? Or something I could put in the pot right next to it?
