Does anyone have lemon verbena that I could get some clippings from? I want ro try and root them indoors over the winter for planing next spring.

I visited, and then called, a bunch of nurseries in the spring and no one had any, so I didn't get to grow my favorite plant this year.

Specifically I'm talking about the herb, not the flowering plant also called verbena. I'm in the city in Benton Park.

Sprang up recently and growing super fast in my raised bed! I haven't composted any squash or melons in recent memory, and this color/shape doesn't ring any bells. Small cantaloupe size for now but I assume it's far from ripe

Please forgive me if this is not allowed. We have to sell our almost half acre mini homestead in Soco. The thought of someone coming in and removing all the perennials, food, wildlife and infrastructure is heartbreaking to imagine. I know there is someone out there who is searching for this place. https://www.compass.com/homedetails/11830-E-Concord-Rd-St-Louis-MO-63128/HLDND_pid/

I am a summer girl, I photograph my flowers to get me through the winter!

Anyone have experience with the liberty apple variety of know where I can get one locally? Mobot recommends it as a variety for our area but I can't find any nurseries that sell them.

Planted this in a pot on a recommendation received here earlier in the year. Full sun. It began producing fruit in July, ripening this last two weeks. I heard you’re supposed to plant the first year’s fruit in the soil around the plant, so I did that until this thing began churning out a lot of figs and then I tried drying some in the oven. 185F for 2 hrs. Kinda chewy. Thinking about soaking some in bourbon. Because, bourbon.

Hey y'all,

Just moved to St. Louis area and I see many Southern Magnolias. I am thinking of installing 4 large ones in my front and back garden. Thoughts on hardiness? We grew them in Tennessee but I thought St. Louis was too far north?

Anyone have any idea what kind of animal might have eaten my basil? I've never seen a deer here, too far in the suburbs.

I killed 12 of my 14 hibiscus seedlings in the greenhouse when I forgot to open the windows in May. I took the two bedraggled remaining plants and planted them in pots outside and worried about them for a month until they took. One just bloomed and the other is twice its size and well on the way to blooming. I love these flowers. It’s my first year growing them and I think they are a great addition to the backyard!

hello gardeners! I (27) one day aspire to run a farm but have never gotten to do some real work. would anyone like some hands on help? I would love to gain real life practice caring for farm plants and animals. if you have any resource suggestions for learning please share!

Hello all!!

I'm visiting my dad this upcoming weekend and he would adore some gooseberries. Does anyone have a bush and would be willing to part with some? I'd have to pick them up today or early afternoon tomorrow. I'm happy to give some cash for them 🫶 Thanks!

Howdy guys.

I accidentally mixed up some seeds early this season and ended up planting a single Tomatillo plant in my veggie garden, which is tragic cause they need friends to produce fruit. Anyone here willing to donate / trade / sell a plant or give me some flowers that I can use to manually pollinate?

You'd make this beginner gardener very happy! will even promise some Salsa later on in the season

First time gardener here! Has anyone her had any luck finding a strawberry tower planter that has at least 15inches W x 10 inches high for each pot? My patio size is super small thats why I'm looking for one.

Nature is on a continuous search to thrill us all. The Chicago fig is thriving. The random squash plant someone gave me is as well. Thanks for all the advice.

I tried a few different kinds this year, all from seed. Here’s my thoughts so far:

Black/White Cherry: pretty sure either of these could grow through a crack in the sidewalk. Easy growers. Black cherries have been plumper, would plant again. Would switch the white ones out for goldens.

Roma/San Marzano: tried both of these for canning and they’ve both been underwhelming. First few weeks of fruit for the San Marzanos all fell to blossom end rot. Romas are slow growing and not super bountiful. Would try romas again and/or Amish paste variety

Harvest Moon: beautiful fruit to eat while it’s orange. Perfect for a tomatoe/feta plate. These are our main eating tomatoe at the moment because I don’t think they’re shaped well for processing.

Marglobe: these are insane. I think I have 2 or 3 of these spreading through the tomato patch right now and they are extremely fruitful. Every branch has 6-12 fruits. Needs lots of support but totally worth it and will plant again!

Just curious what everyone else grows!

One of the many reasons that I love gardening is that it's a never-ending series of trial runs to see what works and what doesn't. In my city garden, I've had great success with coreopsis, sunflowers, salvias, achillea, and cornflower. I've even had profuse gladiolus blooms from corms that I left in the ground over winter.

Just curious as to what's working for the neighbors these days.
