First year at actually growing a garden!

Got a few new additions to my garden today . Perennial Guem & Fuschia
Presents so cant moan haha.


Any general tips for these Unsure whether to get it into a bigger pot or into a raised bed.

 

It's weeing down so thought I'd plant them straight out, here they are

Guem at the back and the fuschias closest. See how they go !

 

Snapped a leaf off the Jalapeno. Any tips?

 

Give the severed limb a decent burial.... this stuff happens. They grow new ones.

If it fell off, then you worry. Not if it's broken ..

Little pepper leaves in front of the big ones.

 

@CanadianLori @shiney @Sheal @Tinker86
With this snapped leaf. Should I just leave it, or cut it right back to the stem?
Also what's the next bit of growth I should see on these two:
Fresh off the back of a night of rain !




And the red pepper

 

Few carrots popping through!


Herbs sprouting


And my sunflower

 

@"M" @pete using this thread instead now . Good advise on my other on so thought I'd invite you over!

 

Any thought @Verdun

 

Sorry, I can't help you any further MF, I'm not a veg grower although I do grow tomatoes. There's no reason why you shouldn't trim that leafless shoot back to the main stem though.

 

Hi, (chillies) my chillies look like yours sometimes the leaves turn upside down I thought I had a issue but it looks like certain types do this,

BTW I'm new to gardening, I do hope you have holes in the baths the veg will get waterlogged if not, unsure of your location ? it might be wise to put it in for us to see it can help with experienced growers giving advice, if your in the UK it might be a little late to get any height from your sunflower,

Happy growing I'm sure you will enjoy it as this newbie does.

 

Yeah most the leaves have turned back up the right way now, but I think it could've just been a bug eating away at it.



We thought about this today,
There are no holes in the carrot and herb baths at the moment, I'm going to be planting them out into the other end of this bed prettt soon. Think they will be alright for another week. Might cover them for now as it's hammering it down


Repotted my sunflower today, not expecting much just an experiment as never done them before. Next year I'll be prepared

 

I also got a new little rose today. Unsure what to do with it.

Clears bed at the back out

leave the shrub on the right, get rid of current rose climber and all the ivy and cut back tree. And plant it there after replacing the soil.


Or get a massive pot for it.

 

Dianthus mystic star seems to be doing alright aswell

 

Yes i think your right, ive not been paying too much attention to mine over the last few weeks, anyhow ive just had a look and some caterpillars are having a feast,

Lets hope for there sake they dont start picking on the scotch bonnets
