Anyone have bay leaf trees or anything similar with the big leaves like English laurels etc. that have dead leaves on top?
I’m kind of worried about my big bay leaf tree there’s quite a bit of dead on top, brief reading says cold snaps can cause this as we have had but I’ve never seen it before on my bay leaf

Is yours potted or in the ground? If it's potted, it might be time to renew the soil.

After aeration is when I'll fertilize.

Anyone have pointers on how to prepare a garden for the upcoming season? Remove all weeds, dig up the existing soil to loosen it up, and add composed manure to the top?
Also, I started growing some vegetables in a pot last season with some ProMix potting mix. At the end of last year, I removed my plants and just dumped it all into large bins and haven't really touched it since.
Can I just dump any extra potting mix not going into any grow bags into the garden? The garden I believe is mostly clay soil. The potting mix has old plant roots mixed in since I couldn't filter it all out.

| Yup, basically this all I do in my veggie gardens, I'd mix the compost in a little bit. Quote:

| Yup, this is what I do as well. All the soil from the old tomato & pepper pots from last year get dumped into the veggie gardens. Just take out any large hard stem chunks and break up the root balls as much as possible (they'll compost themselves down). I usually go at it with the rototiller. Over time this is a fantastic way to amend your clay soil.

For sure, I thought my huge ass lavender bush was dead. All wood like branches. The heat dome and then the below -20º winter.......... damn. Today, some green started to come out. Damn, my Dahlias I planted last year has taken off. Some are a foot or more in height.
Even the roses I neglected for years are starting to look lively. Maybe the secret is to just leave them alone. I used to cover them in the winter to protect them from the frost.
Life is so precious. Plants and animals will find a way to survive - against all odds. Too bad some humans can't find ways to thrive and overcome obstacles.

Anyone have monsteras? https://i.imgur.com/gyNiaSA.jpg
Base of mine is turning yellow, any thoughts? The left stem was axed early on because I forgot to water it and one of the leaves went dry and died. The right stem has a fairly large leaf.
Otherwise seems pretty healthy, it has put out two new leaves in the past 4-6 weeks.
Plant is pretty young. I got it back in like October, so not sure if it's natural as the plant wants to kill off some unwanted leaves. It's getting slightly crowded and I'm not quite sure how to prune these. https://i.imgur.com/x17ei4v.jpg

I have one that’s about triple the size of yours. It’s gone through a couple minor ups and downs but I’ve constantly added some nutrient rich soil top dressing and also added a multi purpose fertilizer 3-4 times in a year or so. Never seen any yellowing like yours

Never seen any yellowing like yours | Yeah, I transplanted it like 3-4 months ago into this larger pot with Pro-Mix potting mix.
I wonder if it's nutrient related or if it's overwatering. I've been just soaking the entire pot like once every 3-4 weeks as per recommendations I saw online. Any excess just drains out the bottom.
What nutrient mix are you using?

Any lawn aficionados? I modified my mower last year with a Big League Striping Kit to take my lawn to the next level. This year I'll be modifying my Fiskars Reel mower to get some striping action going as well. Also got a backpack sprayer and will switch to liquid fertilizers from now on. Hopefully this weather improves...

I’ve pretended to he into my lawn for the last 5 years with varryinf results lol..
I have 3 massive boulevard maples that block the majority of sun in the summer so it’s very hard to establish and keep a nice lawn. With that said it’s looking pretty good this year. I aerated (by Hand! Lol) top dressed and seeded/fertilized earlier.

I had de-thatching and aeration done on my lawn back in late April, followed by a round of fertilizer, overseeding and then a top dressing of "lawn mix" topsoil (which is just blend with a heavy sand component), 3 yards worth over the entire thing.
It's still recovering a bit, so I'm leaving it really long at the moment. It's incredibly green right now.

Costco sells bags of that “green and feed” fertilizer, it’s pretty amazing. Apply it once, water in and 2 weeks later your lawn is as green as could be. Very heavy in nitrogen
