Hello everyone! My name is Simon and I recently joined this forum. I'm interested in gardening and household plants. I'm not that knowledgable about stuff like this, but I sincerely hope and thinks that this community can help me learn more.

See you in the forums!

My plant got infected with white flies and am unable to control it. I tried several ways by spraying soap water too, but still affected, any idea to regrow the plant as the leaves also becomming brown.

I sent video to the admin can you upload it here?[attachment=o104][attachment=o105]

I used to eat most of the time this tamarind which is grown at my home. I came to know it has lot of vitamins and proteins to fight with diseases. I am asking do you all eat this Manila Tamarind? It is also called as Jungle jalebi that means it is available in forests.

Anyone you know more information about these jungle Jalebis?

Per the thread I posted for New Gardener Mistakes, I mentioned thinning is one I have a hard time with & sometimes transplanting doesn't work.
What are some of your tips & tricks on transplanting? Some plants just do not like to be removed but I have found when I get extra soil around the plant & the plant itself is not disturbed, it tends to grow better. Albeit a bit stunted sometimes.

If links are not acceptable here, I apologize! I see some articles & figure they'd make a great conversation piece. For this one, it talks of mistakes beginners make in gardening. What are some you have made? What have you learned from it?
I tend to not thin my seedlings too well. I have a heavy hand with planting seeds & then have a hard time pulling up extras. For some, I have tried transplanting but they get too stunned.

What do you think of “storm chasers”?
They are professionals, for the most part, who literally chase storms. Most are to help us gain knowledge of how a storm works. Then there are those people who are no professionals & feel they can sit out there & videotape it or to see "just how" bad it can get!
Have you videotaped a storm before? How has the destruction been to any crop, flowers, plants you had?

I am surprised that this saint is growing wheat on his head. I am still not yet understanding how does this happened and why he wants to put on his head?

What do you like to have? It IS a part of gardening
I have indoor houseplants. Christmas Cactus, Kalanchoe, Polka Dot, African Violet, Aloe Vera, Ferns. The Christmas Cactus, Kalanchoe, Aloe Vera are great for propagation. I've expanded my containers easily & given away a few to family & friends. I didn't always have a "green thumb". What I do is find ones that work for ME. The indoor & outdoor plants I have are easy to take care of. To me, it's just like having kids or pets. You need to be aware of what's going on & "know" your plant. What works, doesn't work.

Going off of talking about thunder & lightning. Who likes thunderstorms?
I know they are needed but the loud ones with a bunch of lightning can be quite deafening & scary. Especially when it shakes the house. Not to mention furbabies get scared. I don’t mind them, as I said they are needed, I just try to focus on other things to get me & the furbabies through it.
Have you noticed your flowers, veggies, crops perk up when you have a storm that passed on through? Flipside, have you had devastation from perhaps high winds, hail?
