I have a couple plants that i put in the ground. I usually just water the whole area until it all puddles and then just let it sink. 3/4 are looking great but the one is yellowing on the older growth and the tops are cupping looks like it’s getting light stress. what should i do? I didn’t know you could overwater plants in the ground. I was planning on doing a seaweed feeding tomorrow. Last watering i just used my hose. plants in the ground. ‍♂091A9235-169F-4C7F-A1C6-B2F68D1C5B7B.jpeg

Theres a drainage problem if ground plants are staying wet. We're on 3rd week of straight rain no issues except needing to feed in between the rain. Your plant looks like its getting hungry imo. The slight droop and curled leaves are probably due to them being alittle hot,pretty common on outdoor plants to a degree. But if your beds not draining well that could be why they're drooped some.and i would dig down in that bed some and see how wet it is

Yeah dont do inground next to a wall like that. Going container will get rid of this problem...but if ur determined to go in ground in that spot you just need to dig a trench and lay a pipe with holes drilled in it that drains ground water off to some other location

That roof looks like it would potentially shed a lot of water onto the ground there. Hang a gutter? I agree with previous comment not an ideal location.

haha it’s not raining right now, but it would be nice if it did then I wouldn’t have to water them

i think what happened is the end is drying up a bit slower than where the first plant is. i guess i can’t water all of them at the same time.

i don’t have to worry bout that no water goes from the pool to the soil bed and i’ve used this spot before to grow gas it’s not the spots fault it was something i did. Overwatering or over feed
