Gardening is terrible. It makes you need to go outside at the absolute worst part of the year when it is 110 degrees outside. You get dirty. Bugs touch you while you garden. It's bad for your smooth, pliant, princly/princessly hands. It's boring and very autismal. You end up using shitloads of water and fertilizer to make lovely fruits and vegetables that look half as good as what you could go buy at the store for almost no money. Though I do admit that anything you grow at home will taste at least 5x better than supermarket produce tho. Who cares though if you want flavor you can eat doritos whachu dooin with fruits or veggies, lol Gardening verdict: dumb and bad.

Bonus is you can put in dumb poo poo like for ing your neighbors to put up gigantic trump walls on their property which will piss them off and make everyone want the HOA to be gone. Then you can pretend to be the hero and destroy the dastardly HOA.

Gardening is rad and good. I'm in zone 7b (Arkansas), growing lots of tomatoes, okra, squash, cucumbers, banana peppers. All of my bell peppers drowned this year  but everything else is doing great!! This is only my second year gardening, so I'm learning a lot as I go, but lesson definitely learned with the okra getting so tall last year that everything around it was hells of sun-deprived, and learning to run the cucumbers a lot better.

All of my bell peppers drowned this year I love learning the lessons with gardening. This year I learned about the cilantro/coriander process. And also about the monster parsley JFC. You gonna pickle that okra? I don't really care for okra. It's ok fried, though. Yesterday, my husband came home from work with 2 pepper plants. One seems to be jalapeno and the other looks like banana pepper? Gotta find a place for them in the plot now.

Some will be pickled, the rest will get fried, roasted or stewed for tomatoes and okra.

I love my garden! Its always full of surprises. This year i decided to insert some manure and sand to help with my concrete hard clay that was the year before. 1 yard of sand and 2 yards of composted chicken poo poo busted out the roto tiller and gave 'er tits. it stank like hell but now i got super soft easy to work with highly nutritious soil.  It was glorious the rhubarb loved it and the rest of the veggies i planted took to it like weeds. But it seems that i did not clean up last year  But very few actual weeds Anyone want some tomaters?

I got super lucky with mine, as I live in a clay area too, but the soil in my plot is very healthy (plus tons of big fat juicy worms mmmmm).

Wendigee posted:Here is my honeysuckle potted plant. I watered it a couple times this week, its been 100+ degrees for 3 weeks and its still putting out flowers! its about to sprout! That is definitely the invasive species known as honey suckle. It will turn your yard into a poo poo show. Mature plants will produce tiny red berries that birds will eat and spread like plague. It also spreads by sending shallow roots outward radially forming new root balls which make new sprouts ad infinitum. I live in the midwest and just murdered around 100 individual interconnected honey suckle plants the previous owner left alone to take over the rear of my yard. Its a trick get a brush axe and hack that poo poo to bits.

I live in 10a. A few times a year I plant some seeds or seedlings hoping I'll get cheap and awesome veges but they mostly just die when I let nature takes its course. Winners so far are chillies, saw tooth coriander, lemon grass, rosemary, citrus, pineapple, chives/spring onion, capscium and the watercress which I actually bother to water. Failures include normal coriander which always dies or goes to seed before it gets going, mulberry/mango/guava trees which get their fruit destroyed by animals before they're even ripe, basil and sage which for some reason turned into the local cat shithouse. * Kaffir lime is on life support, planted in clay and bugs are smashing it. If it dies it dies. Only recommendation I have is you really need to grab some of those prime fence spots early, no one wants to "steal" your fruit and it's prime real estate for certain plants. I moved in mid way through the expansion stage and didn't notice the war, so there's poo poo from before I moved in that I have no idea if the neighbours like or not, newer poo poo that I just have to accept and no room for me to get in on the action without delicately asking.

East coast and in the pink:  Bananas are cheap as gently caress so never even thought of growing them, if the bats/possums/etc. wont eat them that could be a winner though, hmmm.

Woden posted:East coast and in the pink: AHAHAHA IN THE PINK sorry Didn't consider Australia. Bats do like bananas, or so I hear. The thing about coriander/cilantro is you let it go to seed, then the seeds are supposed to drop and make new plants. I would think they would do well in a hot climate since all those Thai and Viet ppl are eating it??? I wonder if like Chinese longbeans or other types of legumes might work. Also some variety of corn should work there I mean poo poo corn should grow anywhere thanks to its genetic mutability.

Arseholes didn't even put them in the coriander seed herb jar/pot/vial. Total dick move. Fresh beans are awesome though and they can sometimes be expensive for what they are. Never heard of chinese longbeans but I will now hunt them down and plant those fuckers since they look tasty as hell. Woden fucked around with this message at 19:38 on Jun 24, 2016 |

I spent the past few weeks clearing some space out back and building a deck with a class loving pergola, just look at this poo poo: I'm gonna plant climbing roses on the corners, anyone have a good idea as to which cultivar? I want pretty flowers but also good fragrance which is tricky sometimes. I'm in zone 5, I believe.

Actually I planted a couple of rose bushes two weeks ago. They have mulch and drip irrigation, and I planted them with the fancy rose soil, and its all good. But we got a heat wave last weekend, and all of the flowers died and dropped off. Leaves look healthy and fine though. There are a lot of roses in the neighborhood and mine are the only ones that dropped the flowers. Shock from being planted combined with the heat?

Our dwarf orange tree is sort of a houseplant - it's in the sunroom bc booger (the evil horible demon cat) isnt allowed out there to destroy it. I got a book on growing tropical houseplants by almost winning a contest in cunts with spoons. Let me know if you need advice on growing one of these indoors
