Nope, it’s pentas, growing it for the first time this year 🙂

Here are the answers:

1. Ageratum
2. Nemophila menziesii (baby blue eyes)
3. Streptocarpus sect. Saintpaulia (African violets)
4. Pentas

I didn’t realize it’s been this long since I posted the images! I will have to post updates. Did you guess any correctly?

Nope, but I can see why you might think that

You’re half right, they’re not peppers but they are plants

Let’s play a game of what’s that plant?! We’ve got 6 seedling photos posted on Instagram stories but Bluesky only allows 4 per post. Will the Bluesky crowd get all 4 right? Leave your answers in the comments! #seedlings #seedstarting

Flower arrangement with ultraviolet anemones, muscari, bluebells, purple deadnettle, camellia, and Japanese maple foliage

When touching the grass is not enough

@drymifolia.bsky.social joined our community offering free avocado seedlings to anyone in the PNW. He was on a mission to breed an avocado hardy enough for his region. Read my interview with him on our blog at gardenrev.com/blog/avocadoproject/ and check out the before and after of his greenhouse ⬇️.

Just wanted to thank @gardenrev.bsky.social for reaching out about doing this Q&A about our project. Check it out to learn a bit about what makes the project tick:

Thank you so much for your very thoughtful answers. It was fascinating to learn more about the project and the wonderful world of the avocado!

This is what Kale calls his chaotic neutral garden. I call it chaotic good. The roses in these photos are ‘Lady of Shalott,’ ‘Livin’ Easy,’ ‘Strike it Rich,’ ‘Sheila’s Perfume’ and ‘Fun in the Sun.’ 📷 Garden Revival community member Kale.

I miss spring, that brief flash of healthy green foliage and vivacious bloom. It’s when my garden is at its best. #gardening #springgarden

Nothing is safe from these cotton tail b*stards. There is nothing they won’t eat or at least destroy in an attempt to eat. Accidental #wildlifehabitat. #cutebunnies my *ss. #gardening unsuccessfully.

Here’s a Garden Revival BBQ Quick Bite from episode 8 with guest Erin Schanen, The Impatient Gardener. Turns out she has a mischievous side. 🤭 Listen to the whole episode on your favorite podcast steaming app or on YouTube youtu.be/uLNp5WHBWWc #gardening #podcast

What are the chances of the plants in this container surviving near daily winter rain and snow? I’d say not very hight, even though all the plants are hardy and the substrate is very gritty. The added weight of the grit is why I never got around to moving this planter under cover 😅 #hardysucculents

Too soon! I’ll kill them all if I start this early

Here’s a little teaser for part 1 of episode 7 of our podcast, the Garden Revival BBQ. You can find both parts 1 and 2 on any podcast streaming app and on our YouTube channel youtube.com/@gardenrev. Hope you like it, we had a blast recording with @garden-evolution.bsky.social! #gardening #podcast

This was an impulse seed purchase, ‘Kat­ie's Can­dles’ mix verbascum from Swallowtail Garden Seeds. Really enjoyed them. #gardening #flowergarden

Grown from a cutting a few years ago, the rose bloomed beautifully this year. 🌱 #flowers #garden #photography

Wow, so beautiful, what rose is this?

I’m being told to post some flower pics. #gardening #flowers
