Another #Magnolia question:
@tunnybiger avatar @tunnybiger · 3w
Anyone know how to effectively keep pests away from outdoor plants??

#outdoorgardens This is relatively early on (last summer). Removing sod for pollination gardens takes strength, guts, and perseverance. If this heat wave ever breaks, I'm starting on the other half, which you can presently see as grass (👎).

And then sweet pea. Plus the gigantic variegated hosta monster.. @BabeVila my poor black eyed Susan’s are in desperate need of fertilizer . Yours put mine to shame .

If you grow succulents outdoors, I’d love your help 😬

#HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #PlantTherapy #OutdoorGrowing #outdoorgardens So happy my larkspur after 2 years of planting has come up reaching 4 and a half feet. It was worth the wait painting my garden so beautiful. So many beautiful blooms.

Good Saturday morning/brunch or whatever depending on where you guys are! 😁 hope all is well. 🙏🏻 🫠. My question : I have a concrete slab that is surrounded by flower beds I wonder if anyone has painted or covered concrete with anything that held up well with weather and such? I suppose I could power wash it to see how that turns out.. but still like to cover to make it pretty. But low cost if such a thing. #GregGang #outdoorgardens #OutdoorGrowing #PlantTherapy #PlantsMakePeopleHappy

So I don’t particularly have any fresh leafs to share today (although my China rose, Kate RoseBush, is almost ready to open up a new bud 🌹), but I have my first *tiny* harvest of the season in my outdoor garden, so it’s a #FreshHarvestFriday? Lol First cucumber from my Early Fortune plant—a little wonky on the shape, but hoping they’ll straighten out when I can get a trellis and not just have to MacGyver with sticks and ties…come on, pay day (teacher salary pay once a month is rough lol). And first little stalk harvest from my hyssop plant, Ezov. I use the dried leaves in the soaps and candles I make for my Etsy shop, as hyssop is great for healing bruises, cuts, burns, helps with dry skin and eczema and rashes. And I use the flowers in some of my tea blends that I make, great for sore throats, coughs, indigestion and upset tummy. It’s also a plant frequently mentioned and used in the Bible for spiritual cleansing and healing, indigenous and other spiritual practices use it as well. ✨ So happy #FreshLeafFriday Greg community and #FreshHarvestFriday 😂 #Cucumber #hyssop #OutdoorGrowing #outdoorgardens #VeggieGardens #herbalism #herbgarden

Happy #freshleaffriday #greggang! Today I finally got some #outdoorgrowing chores done, starting with cutting the flower stalks off my #rhubarb. Our four plants have quickly turned into over twenty with the biggest one putting out these massive leaves! When I bought new loppers at the beginning of the growing season, this was not the job I had in mind 😂 Luckily, I have several recipes and my husband and kiddos love to eat it so it'll be put to good use! #happyplants #outdoorgardens #edibleplants #veggiegardens #zone5b 🌱 #NewEnglandGregGang  🌱 #NortheastGregGang 🌱 #MaineGang  🌱 #ThePlantMompy

Happy hump day #GregGang 💚 Wanted to share some outdoor gardening photos from the past week. I planted a bunch of coleus in me & my boyfriends front yard, (pic 1) as well as some Angelonia (pic 4) . We have planted some other things as well, I can’t wait for them to fill out.. Picture two, are peony flowers & spyria flowers cut from my mom’s yard. Picture 3 is my cat Dinky taking a cat nap in one of our garden beds, he was so deep in them, I couldn’t even see him lol. #CatsOfGreg #catsandplants #PetsAndPlants #PetsOfGreg And picture 5 is Larkspur, which my mom has grown every year since we started growing things by seed in the yard. This is our fourth year 🙌🏻 I love larkspur it’s such a pretty wildflower ! I have so many other awesome flower photos, but I’ll have to share in another post. Hope everyone is enjoying Mother Nature! #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #OutdoorGrowing #outdoorgardens #OutsidePlants #NewGrowth #FloweringPlants #flowerpower #Peony #WildFlowers #Larkspur #Coleus #PlantLove

I have this one tree inside my fenced yard that gets a lot of shade. I’m so happy I could find the Halcyon Blue Hostas to pair with Black Magic Elephant Ears beneath it. DH is tasked with fixing the retaining wall by making it a foot smaller and backfilling it with soil for the roots and bulbs coming in. I think these two will show well beneath the tree. The color will add a great contrast to the wood bark. #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #PlantAddict #OutdoorGrowing #outdoorgardens #TexasGregGang #AnthuriumQueen

#MedicinalMonday perhaps? I love growing and foraging for medicinal plants. Anyone else? Always looking to expand my knowledge! These are a few medicinal plants I've stumbled across today. One of my garden favorites for mosquito bites or minor scrapes, my Autumn Joy sedum/stonecrop. It also attracts plenty of bee friends 🐝 rip open a leaf and apply to bite or minor scrape/burn. Common sage. The list is endless! Antioxidants, helps with inflammation, menopause, indigestion to name a few! Always add it to my "garden tea" Yellow wood sorrel AND white cover in the same patch. Yellow wood sorrel is high vitamin C! White clover can be used to help with fevers, coughs and digestive issues. Guess that's it for now 😆 #Medicinalmonday #howdoesyourgardengrow #outdoorgardens #plantmedicine #plantsmakepeoplehappy *I'm not a doctor.

One of the organizations I volunteer with a lot during the summers and school breaks when I’m not teaching—Food Well Alliance, part of the Atlanta Community Food Bank—has several urban gardens I’ve worked in and they’re what helped cultivate my love for plants and gardening. Yesterday I was able to volunteer at their Soil Fest and it was so much fun! I might’ve gone a little overboard buying some new plant babies 😬🫣 But I’m just saying they’re my belated birthday present to myself (4/16) 😂 I also got a free shirt, bandana on proper composting, free food and compost, and help some people in urban food deserts with access to fresh produce and gardening education, so it was a big win! 😄 I got some replacements that I had in my outdoor garden at my last house—white hyssop, rosemary, early fortune cucumber, Moskvich tomato, yarrow, and white sage. And I also got some new babies to try—Greek mountain tea mint, rose mint, 4 o’clock fairy trumpets, German chamomile, and lemon catnip. I use several of the herbs in the soaps and candles I make and it is one reason why I really missed having my outdoor garden, to be able to use herbs grown in my own garden, buuuttt my yard is not ideal and is why I held off after moving 3 years ago—it’s mostly a muddy hill and not a ton of sun. So I’m hoping I can find some cheap ways to make some raised containers for them to put around the side of the yard until I can move when my lease is up at the end of September and hopefully have a better outdoor space for them. Any suggestions appreciated! #OutdoorGrowing #containerquestions #containergarden #VeggieGardens #herbgarden #herbalism #outdoorgardens #OutsidePlants
