Most my lawn died last summer, due to being the hottest summer in recorded American history. (MY POOR LAWN. Wait, it's ALREADY illegal to water my grass again!?)

This has been a problem for me as well. I have a few hydrangea bushes but I focus most of my attention and energy on my herbs. I keep them in planters with wheels so they won't die while still getting the sun exposure they need. My kitchen smells amazing every afternoon when I roll them inside. I love going to my planters for fresh herbs instead of over paying for them at a store.

My hydrangeas are are just like, nope, not growing, go away. Some are doing well but yellowing, but the rest are mostly, nah, I'm gonna be a few tiny leaves this year. Sucks for you~ Herbs hate inside my house. They end up staying outside all the time while I water them religiously. (My plants' dirt seriously dries up at least once a day.)


Ooh, I kinda wanna do that. I dunno where I'd prop it up though. I have a pretty big lawn, but its really hot and shady. There's a place near my house that has these handing thick cloth pockets you can put plants in. I kinda want one but I'm soooo cheap. I have several tomatoes atm, and they've been doing neething all year. My main compost problem is everything drying out. I'm constantly watering it. ;__; I've tried to have a worm farm, since my salamander would love the wormies, but I'm very very good at killing them. D:


Meanwhile for me, my tobacco is perpetually dying then living then dying then living. It happens every other day. I'm getting sick of your shenanigans, tobacco.

I'm also trying to find info on datura, and I keep finding ways to use it as a drug. ...This is why people keep dying from it.

Hmm... You know, now that I think about it, my habaneros haven't been making peppers either.
There's always the, maybe they're not pollinating right, or maybe they're not strong enough. All my other peppers have been making babies, but not that one. (Or my chilipequins, but, it kinda had some horrible accidents, so I don't blame it.)


Hmm, maybe need to look into other fertilizers. My tomatoes haven't been blooming, but it HAS been a while since I last fed them. *so irresponsible*


If I see my gardening beloved this weekend, I need to ask about habaneros.

Right now I am after lithops, the butt cactus. (Well, they're technically not a cactus, but they look like butts.)

I didn't see my gardening beloved, too sicklies. ;__;

But I started dividing some of my other cactus-y things. Some weird aloe type things and sempervivums. Hopefully the babies will live on their own and make more delicious cactus-y thingies.

Aww. At least you can probably glow plenty of things I can't~ ;__;

I live in south Texas, so everything wants to die all the time. My yard is soooo shady cause if it wasn't, we'd all burn and melt. And alot of my plants don't like the shade. At least, my sweet potatoes are doing well. And my baby morning glories are starting to make vines~

I would actually really like a pepper plant. Like a black pepper plant. I wonder if we can grow them here...

I'm pretty sure it's too tropical to keep up here.

Blast.

Are there any others that anyone knows offhand?

Try oregano. It's supposed to repel most bugs as well as be a good companion plant to the majority of other herbs.
