Another vote for WalkScape! I’m doubling my walking time since joining, and it’s feeds the “gotta chop 100 birch trees” part of my brain.

I believe she waters 1/2 cup every five days? She uses an app that tells her when to water things. It doesn’t appear to be spreading to other leafs, but it might be growing slowly onto the leafs that are already bothered. I just got it a week ago and haven’t noticed to rapid of a spread among the already infected leafs.

So, my mom in law left me all of her plants while she travels abroad for the next month and told me her coffee plant has been looking a little sickly and she can’t figure out why. I know absolutely nothing about this plant, but thought I would try and help heal it for her if I can while she’s away. Does anyone know what could be causing the leafs to brown? The newer leafs on top are growing fast and healthy, and the soil feels good and doesn’t have any signs of rot or infection. It’s also not in any kind of harsh light or in a dark corner, and it’s in a place where the humidity is slightly higher than the rest of the house, but not a significant amount. I’ve had it for a week now, but I can’t seem to make the lower leafs happy.

Wow, evergreen clippings? Like from an evergreen tree? That’s brilliant, I’ve got an evergreen partially in my yard so I’ve got endless clippings!

Be sure to share pics when you do! I found adding coffee grounds to be a massive help. Something about the acidity I think?

Thanks! It feels so good knowing it’s all me that did it

The dream! I love the lights, are they solar powered? Where’d you find them?

 

Got a little excited and accidentally picked some still green ones, but hey! First ever fruit I’ve grown! Tastes all the sweeter for it! Thanks everyone for all of your advice! I’ve got so many more still turning, I’ll have to make some blueberry cobbler once they’re all done.

Gorgeous! I should get some for my yard next year. When did you plant them?

[–] Araithya@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Oh, cool. Yeah, they are wildflower seeds native to our area, so they should be fine with that logic. We’re trying to make the bees in the neighborhood happy!

 

Hi friends! I got some flower seeds as a gift recently, and while they say they should be planted in late May early June, I’m worried about them lacking sun in our weird unseasonal weather! It’s been completely overcast and 50s and raining constantly. I’m sharing the planting with some kids in the neighborhood, so I really don’t want them to fail… is it okay to plant them despite the abysmal conditions? They call for full sun, but I’m honestly not sure when we’ll be getting full sun again and I don’t want to plant them too late.

 

Thanks for the advice, everyone! My legacy blueberry plant is going strong, and my sunshine one isn’t far behind! I can’t wait to pick them, how will I know when they’re ready? I imagine they’ll need to darken in color a little bit and shed the little brown flower petal bits, right?

 

Basically the question above. My legacy plant growing in the same pot is doing just fine, but the Sunshine seems to be struggling. We’ve been getting a lot of rain lately so I haven’t been watering as much, is it just thirsty? Should I give it some fertilizer? I’m in Zone 8a and planted them about two weeks ago.

I’m new to growing fruits so I’m a little lost! I’ve only grown herbs and garlic before. I hope they can be saved!
