OT: any Reefer-Gardeners around here?!?- post your GARDENING TIPS/QUESTS here

[30reef]

Bismarkia Nobilis

Pindo palm (Butia Capitata)

Agave Truncata

Parry's Agave (two in the middle)

Unidentified Agave (My personal favorite, this has wicked thorns)

Agave Mediopicta-Alba

I have, IMO, a decent collection. I will be saddened when some of them begin to shoot up a flower stalk and die, a few of them are big enough to do so any time. Providing them with ample water shortens their lifespan drastically, a habbit I am guilty of.

Thanks for looking.

So I have a raised garden bed in my backyard as well as a chicken coop. We landscaped our backyard of our new home. This was a first time project for us and believe me when I say that DIY is sometimes not as easy as you think it is going to be. Backbreaking work!!
I have always wanted a garden and I wanted fruit and citrus trees really bad. Only problem is I don't have the greenest thumb. In my garden bed I installed drip irrigation that is attached to misters so that it would be automatically watered with our timers. Everything started growing and I actually had two tomatoes grow but that is the only plant that actually bared an veggies. I am not sure what I am doing wrong??
I also planted a dwarf plum and peach tree as well as a tangelo tree and a grapefruit tree. My grapefruit tree looks like it is doing okay but my other three are pathetic. My peach and plum tree look like twigs. One of them actually blossomed 3 flowers and then that was it. My tangelo trees leaves fell off and that was it as well. Not sure what I am doing wrong. It is so sad.....

Any advice would be great.

As a side note my chickens are great!!!! They should be laying eggs around August!
