Gardening

Do any of you do any gardening? I just ate an organic radish that I grew. I'm growing 3 varieties of heirloom tomato too.

What are you growing?

sigh.

Do I have to say it again? I'm not there because there's no reason to idle on an irc network where I have nothing to say to anyone.

You can find me on enterthegame as creep if you wanna chat.

I plan to plant a garden as soon as we can get a fence. Between all the deer, rabbits and everything else in my area, it won't be worth the time until I can keep them out of it.

I can't wait to grow some tomatoes - my mother has always grown them, and homegrown tomatoes are the shit.

I enjoy eating organic food.
All the inorganic stuff I eat is just so hard to digest.

I have a deck garden but I'm growing roses, morning glories, snap dragons and I have a walking stick tree this season. We have alot of fresh produce stands near me so I usually pick up vegetables/fruit from them.

If I redo the layout of my backyard I'm going to put a 10x20 plot for a garden - my wife wants to grow vegetables. I don't grow foods, but I am a complete junkie for yard work. My favorite thing to do in the summer.

Seems to be mostly dandelions on the lawn these days. I have some tomatoes and cherry tomatoes. Roses of different varieties, and other flowers in the front yard.

Lettuce, green peppers, mint, parsley, and cherry tomatoes so far.
Oh and a raspberry bush that fills up once in the summer and again in October.

I was busy for the start of the planting season here, so I didn't bother putting many slow-growing plants like peppers, which sucks. This year in the garden I went for lettuce, red cabbage, peas, butternut squash, zucchini, and eggplant. We also have some rhubarb each year. In herb pots I've got parsley, chive, strawberries, and basil.
Home-grown veggies ftw. :up:

I'm just growing stuff on my back deck so trees and such are not really an option but I 'd love to be growing more. Hot peppers for sure as well as stuff that world is growing would be awesome. I didn't expect to have tomatoes growing so early but they're popping all over.

The climate in Sacramento is kind of harsh, so I have to pick assetive types. Mostly southern pines. I'm babying an orange tree right now. I figured citrus would be easy enough, but the first couple of years you have to give em a lot of attention. I didn't figure the air quality to be a huge factor in gardening/forestry, but I've had many failures. Even with plants that you'd figure would thrive here. Soil's good, and I shade em when they look like they're burning, it has to be the air. So, trees it is. Oddly enough, my roses do great...very little searing from the sun. They're a bit poor right now cause they haven't been tended in a couple of weeks. Gonna prune big time. I'll post a pic when they come back. I'm not a fanatic, I go for the more natural look. I give em plenty of freedom. :)
