Can anyone recommend a good place to buy trees online where they've had good experiences? I live in Virginia and I'm looking for a couple soft-shell sweet almond trees. Thank you so much!🌳

iNat user juancarlosmejia saw this Mycena holoporphyra #mushroom (along with some mites) in #Colombia and it's our #FungusFriday Observation of the Day!

One of the names for November’s #fullmoon, which will rise on the evening of 15th November, is the “frost moon”. Sometimes it is called the “mourning moon” as it occurs during a time of seasonal reflection, and remembrance of those we have lost. #FolkloreSunday #RemembranceSunday

How many colours does a bug need?

Pyrops pythicus starts with golden brown at the tip of its wings with a gentle gradient to red before abruptly displaying a brilliant green for the rest of its wings, a blue "snout" and a bright yellow bulbous tip at its apex.

I was just told by an employee at @TractorSupply that they throw out trees over the next couple weeks that don't sell at the end of season. I assume other stores like @HomeDepot or @Lowes might do this as well? Is there any way I could pay for shipping and rescue a bunch of them?

I just love the purple berries on Callicarpa 💜💜💜

It still blows my mind that this passionflower (Passiflora incarnata) is native here in Virginia. We have a few vines growing in our backyard at @ToadCreekFarm. Can’t wait for our first fruit! #gardening #ToadCreekFarm

Seed saving Sunday - 1st ripe xl long brown sweet pepper from my 41cm line. I sell seeds of these here - https://t.co/yDY73e9cEA
Always add free extras and replace seeds if folks have any issues.

Yesterday I smoked my first batch of home grown chili peppers to create some new @ToadCreekFarm chili powders! I’m quite proud of this 🌶 🌈 #gardening #ToadCreekFarm

@CrytzerFry @MyFrogCroaked It really is! 🙂

[Dr. Jonathan Kolby @MyFrogCroaked]

I love gardening to grow food, but nothing makes me happier than growing habitats for wildlife at the same time. We’ve had tons of these swallowtail butterfly caterpillars at @ToadCreekFarm this season. These fennel #flowers have attracted such an abundance of wonderful #insects!
