All things green, outdoors, and nature-y. Whether it's animals in their natural habitat, hiking trails and mountains, or planting a little garden for yourself (and everything in between), you can talk about it here.

See also our Environment community, which is focused on weather, climate, climate change, and stuff like that.

We planted 3 pepper plants (poblano, jalapeño, and Anaheim) in a raised garden bed. Tomatoes in the same bed are doing just fine. We feel like they are getting enough watering but any help would be appreciated!

Hah I don't mean to pressure you, I just spend a lot of time thinking about producing food from gardens. You're totally right, though, it's still early in the season, and if your garden is providing you joy, then it's doing its job!

I'm ... not great at the timing of it all, but we do stage early ephemerals around our earliest flowering fruit trees and shrubs. Once the season gets going it's difficult to get just one thing to be in flower so we often leave high summer as its own free for all.
