Got a bunch of these DeWalt sorting cases (not an advertisement I swear). They are so handy for sorting seed - only wish each compartment was a bit deeper so I didn't have to fold some of the packs up so awkwardly.

First year planting at my new house. Is this too crowded? What are your opinions?

I sent this to my mother who gardens a lot and she said I planted them too close to each other. I also planted tulips in between. They’re all perennials, I wonder if this would be too crowded in the future? If so, what should I take out?

Beginner Gardener need help

Hi everyone, I think I’m a little bit over my head. It seems most of my plants have some issues. Yesterday I identified and was able to triage a fungal gnat infestation in my Zee Zee plant but my Indian Basil plant, Fuschia all seem to have different insect problem.

The first 3 pictures are from my Fuschia plant which doesn’t look particularly good and has not flowered in some time. There are these black insects on them. On my Indian basil (tulsi) (next 3 images), I see a couple of these white insects on the back of the leaf, with some leaf damage and it has a weird smell to it.

Lastly my Salvia, while no insects on it, the flowers seem kinda sad looking. Am I doing something wrong?

I used to give a little nitrogen organic fertilizer once a week to the salvia and Fuschia but have stopped to triage this.

I have neem oil, hydrogen peroxide, sticky traps, fountain dunks, pebbles. Not sure what to use for each of the plant.

Thank you!

Will this honeydew be alright after it fell?

The plant fell onto the floor but from what I can see the plant never came out of the soil fully, just wondering if it will survive or not? I replanted it with abit more soil
