Zesty.


Ugh we always had a nice garden growing up and my apartment-dwelling rear end missed it so bad. I've literally volunteered to go over to more than one friend's house to help them remove blackberries or build trellises or whatever on many occasions, it's such nice work that I'll bug a friend about helping with it for free.

When I was about seven years old we moved into a house with a garbage back yard that was basically dead grass, a slab of concrete for a "patio," and a sort of swamp in the side yard. To make the patio livable my mom threw together some trellises and figured out hops were the best bet for a fast growing vine thing to make shade with for that region. A year later they're thriving and we've got hops coming out our ears, so gently caress it make some beer I guess. She won a blue ribbon at the county fair with an IPA in the nineties with those hops. Consider hops next time you want some shade, you might end up with a cool new hobby

what do you have in the pots, praytell?

i came to work today with a grocery bag full of herbs for my coworkers. my hands smell so good now.

Whoops I forgot I posted in this thread. Got lot of annuals that pollinating insects like in random pots... Cosmos, corncockle, nigella, poached egg plants but also some bellflowers. I sowed some lavender seeds assuming I'd only keep one or two plants, but I couldn't bring myself to get rid of them all... So I have 9 fairly robust seedlings that should come good next year. I also sowed some rosemary but only two seeds germinated so we'll see how that goes. I also picked up a small smoke bush cause I think they're kind of cool. Oh yeah and a couple of tomato plants of course!

Other than that I took some cuttings from a gnarly old rose not really expecting them to take but they grew roots and new growth really quickly. As a novice that poo poo is like black magic.

I believe that your statement may not be entirely correct, my good friend. It appears to me that the rose plant without the flowers gets, perhaps, much less direct sun than the other--and that might be the problem.

We bought our first house last month, and this is the first time we've had a home with a fruit tree. The apple tree was overloaded with apples, dropping over 200 a day.

Trouble is, the tree seems to have apple scab, so the apples look pretty gross and we've had to throw most of them away. The good ones I've managed to pick are going to be turned into apple butter later.

We also have some vines growing that seem to be hops. (No cones though.) I got pretty badly scratched by them when I tried to prune them (the vines were strangling a neighbouring tree). Guess I'll have to wear long sleeves and long pants next time.

I hope to set up some raised beds next spring and plant cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots and lettuce.

Don't gently caress with my Peppers, I barely got the 4 that are left to this point.

You can get on the HOA board of governance and then put a bunch of stupid poo poo in their so people get mad. When they get mad enough you can convince them to get rid of it.

Colorado temps have been super high all year. As a result, my tomatoes are just now ripening, whereas two years ago I had moved on to the second harvest by now.

Also has resulted in kind of a lovely potato situation, as soil temps have also been pretty high. So much for my potato dreams.

Also, the loving squirrels just murdered all my sunflowers - about 3 weeks before they even set seeds. Almost as if out of pure spite.

I've got some weird fungus type growth going on my lime tree but the anti fungal spray says I shouldn't use it until after late winter.

Do I wait a few more weeks watching the poor plant suffer or should I just spray that poo poo on and gently caress up the baddies?

I agree.

I grew habs, serranos, birdseyes and a few other chillies and never really found a use for habs, they don't taste good and just add burning or acid to recipes so I gave up on them.
