Gardening Do you have a garden? Post pics! v.2020

Eggs are delicious and nutritious. Most people throw away the shells, which is the best part—for plants at least. Instead of throwing away this resource, consider using it to improve the soil in your garden, as eggshells are a good source of calcium for your plants, and can help make a great fertilizer. You can easily add minerals and nutrients to soil using crushed eggshells or eggshell tea. You can also use eggshells as seed starters to ensure that your seedlings get off to a good start.
 
Using eggshells is an easy way to add extra nutrients to your tomato plants and deter slugs at the same time. As the eggshells break down, calcium is released freely into the soil. The calcium helps your tomato plants grow and prevents blossom end rot. You can use raw eggshells on tomato plants but hard boiled eggshells are easier to prepare.

Those eggshells will take several years to break down to a form which life in soil can process it so plants can use the calcium.

You're better off dissolving they in some vinegar, diluting the solution and sprinkling it around the plants.

I guess you also won’t like thst I surrounded my strawberry plant with painted rocks that look like strawberries ... so the birds peck the rocks and leave the berries :D
 
So I sprouted some stuff from seeds what I thought were cucumbers and without giving much thought, I just transferred seedlings to where I want my cucumbers to grow and set up trellises for them.

I wasn't paying much attention and today, I discovered that they're SUNFLOWERS. FML. They also appear to be THE GIANT KIND (basic that on growth rate). Luckily I have plenty of cucumber plants.

Transplanting them to hot pepper bed and see what happens. Why not, right?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Its 90°F out and they're not receiving the transplant too well:
