It starts with the beautifully built entrance to the garden. Built several years ago, by Sandy's own design, made, partially, of a typical English Lych Gatr as well as one seen in Germany that was built by a "Wanderschaft". Once through the gate, you end up being taken on a beautiful tour of flowers, roses, trees, perfectly manicured grass and shrubbery. Take a walk through our member @Sandy Ground's beautiful garden.
This is a long running thread where our members show off what vegetables they're picking out of their garden on any given day. Knowing what vegetables some of our experienced gardeners are harvesting on any given day will help new gardeners understand which crops grow in which seasons.
Share your photos of today's harvest with, or without, commentary and see what other members are getting out of their gardens.

Saw this topic on another gardening forum and thought it was a great idea. I'm assuming folks are doing at least a little something in their gardens almost every day, so this could be a place to keep everyone else updated on the little things you're doing.

I'll post about what's happening at the moment, upcoming cacti events and the odd video. Feel free to plunge in with any questions and of course your own Cacti and Succulents :)🌵

I used a MySoil test kit this year and was really happy with the results. For those of you who may not be familiar with the kit, it tests for a range of nutrients (13 nutrients) and then gives you recommendations on amendments. This year I was thinking about going with a Whitetail Institute test kit that tests for much less (lime, N, P, K). I guess my questions are...
1) Is it really worth paying twice the price to have 10 additional nutrients tested for?
2) Does knowing more nutrient...
