wojakers, frogposters and gigachads belong in the trash

>>14188421
Spring onions have sprouted (pic related), still waiting on the parsley and coriander.

Also just purchased a bunch of other stuff, but we're in winter, so who knows if they'll grow.

>>14188438
Looks comfy, you'll be eating fresh spring onions in no time.

>>14188421
Poppy flowers and cucumbers! This is a good thread, BUMP

>>14188442
My cucumbers finally started taking off now.
>tfw will probably start eating cucumbers right out of the garden next month

>>14188421
Live in an apartment building, there are tomatoes, lettuce, chard and chili peppers on my window

>>14188457
Veggies grown at home are like a different type of food. Unbelievable how much better they taste!

>>14188458
Patrician choice of vegetables

I just throw my trash in the yard and eat what the earth brings fourth the following year

Based volunteer garden

What’s is a good seed to start indoor right now in central cali? I have like 10 tomato’s each going in a 5 gal pot. Was thinking cukes or a leafy green

Cabbages, celery, water melon, 3 types of tomatoes, habaneros, bananas peppers, onions, cucumbers, eggplant, zucchini, yellow squash, potatoes

>>14188665
>Was thinking cukes or a leafy green
Both would be good since they grow fast. But if it's hot there, your leafy greens might bolt (put out a flower stalk and turn bitter) quickly. Although if you want to grow them, I'd recommend chard or kale since the former tends to bolt slowly and the latter still tastes pretty good after bolting (and the flower buds are perfectly edible).

>>14188672
>habaneros, bananas peppers
My nigga.

>>14188679
Have 3 banana pepper plants going as well. Going to pickle the lot. The stalks are like fence poles

>>14188421
Cabbage as far as the eye can see and one pumpkin seed I bought from the state fair that's supposed to get really really really big.

All those months of hard work have really paid off.

All asside....these are the 1st 2 of hopefully a few dozen in the coming weeks.

I ate one and holeee shit they are sweet.

I've grown the pink and green ones before. They're bretty tasty, although I prefer the pink ones since it's much easier to tell what level of ripeness it is.

A fox ran off with two ducks last night. But I put up a fence this morning. Finally warm enough to plant the bushbeans.

>>14189227
You gonna let him get away with it?

>>14190097

RIGHT NOW GOT EGGPLANTS COMING IN HEAVY 3 DIFFERENT TYPES

>>14188421
My onions and my rosemary died. F. So there's that. I don't really have that much space, I have a small balcony, I don't know what to plant, though. Definitely wanna do onions/garlic, plus most herbs.

>>14190366
What climate some, anon?

>>14190316
Do you do anything special with your dill or cilantro? I've had them bolt/flower and only recently appreciated you can replant and regrow them.

>>14188421
Between me and my dad we got an acre of tomatoes, half with corgettes, some asparagus, cucumbers, chillies, and some kale.

>>14190097
Probably but only because I work nights and wont have time to stake out during fox prime time. Ill set out a trap. But theyre usually to smart for that.
>>14190314
Im gonna eat most of them. So Im not to attatched. Not my favorite thing to do but I like eating meat and you cant have to many males or it causes problems.

>>14188421
It does sound interesting.

Question: if you have a small patch, how much time do you dedicate to it daily?

Based in Florida, it's taken me awhile to get a basic competence in gardening:
> adding year round green beans
> adding year round greens, maybe Jamaican spinach, maybe collards, kinda tempted to grow sweet potatoes for the greens
>Thyme, rosemary, oregano, Thai basil, green onions are strong
Thinking of growing some Thai veggies, one of their tomatoes maybe rather than a pepper or more basil. Trouble is converting the family to eating the stuff you grow, and doing that in the span of harvest. Still, exciting to see more grocer categories eliminated. Good growing, Anons!

>>14190386
dill will be used to make pickles with the kirbys and the cilantro I use mainly for salsas or asian style noodle dishes.

if you decide to lactoferment your own pickles, the flowering dill REALLY gives a lot of good flavor

Carrots, lettuce, plum tomatoes, pepper, another kind of tomatoes and lots of different herbs. don't have much space because I live in a shitty student house with a concrete garden but it's going well.

>>14190410
I have a small patch...5 tomato plants, 3 pepper plants, some onions and some lettuce. After initial set up on average a week I spend like 5 minutes a day on it. That includes watering everyday and feeding on the weekends.

Also included, the most of my time spent is keeping squirrels out, and that involves sprinkling cayenne pepper in the beds after every rainfall. So far its worked.

Oh yeah and a bunch of herbs. Rosemary, basil, thyme, the usual

Am pretty terrible at gardening but have been enjoying it in Southern California. Put in 5 big Aloe Plants at the beginning of quarantine I somehow almost murdered. Many many tomatoes, 4 eggplants, and a tiny tiny watermelon (only one to sprout out of 20 seeds.) Mom is the gardener she has potatoes, radishes, trees, onions, and grapes. Pic is mystery cocoon that the butterfly just hatched from this morning!

>>14191131

>>14189227
>puts up a shitty fence thinking it will stop foxes
Oh anon..

>>14191868
Totally is, I think it's a variety called a green egg. I already had 4 normal zucchini plants, but I'm not disappointed.

I'm in the Ohio River Valley, Cincinnati area to be specific.

right now I'll be lucky if anything grows
100+ F

when I get home I'll try to remember to take a photo of everything for now I have onions, bell peppers, lettuce, cabbage, dill and some tomatoes

Unfortunately I've got nothing yet. I'm hoping to start a few raspberry and strawberry perennials but I haven't figured out a strain or a spot for them yet

>>14192372
cabbage for summer? Have you lost any hope?

>>14189227
RIP lil duckies
I want ducks, what's the gestalt on them?

>>14190314
Killing foxes won't do shit, it will make things worse because they also happen to kills rodents and shit.
Just build a better fence

>>14191856

Unfortunaly I have no coozy garden yet, but I have plenty of chives

>Release invasive species into area
>Surprised it kills and gets killed

>>14192565
Guy is obviously too retarded to build a 6ft inclined fence and chicken wire all the bottom if he thought he could have poultry in a fox area with no fence

>>14192580
people learn from their mistakes don't be a cunt.
My neighbor had a perfectly fox-proof coop but his chicken got gored by fucking weasels

>>14192580
Well it was a raccoon and not a fox anyhow. And the chickens are in an enclosed run. The ducks door go left open so no excuse there.
>>14192578
Foxes are indigenous to north america too.
>>14192565
I, the chickens and some local skunks, some local hawks, owls, bald eagles do tha job well enough. Dont need a fox.
>>14192564
Theyre messier than chickens but the dont do as much damage when you let them free range. Duckling are a little more prone to problems to. I have to ducks with leg issues because I didint raise them optimally. I hear theyre harder to butcher than chickens. Ill find out in a few weeks. Theyre a lot cuddlier than chickens.

>>14188422
Numbers dont lie

Cucumbers, 3 kinds od tomato, some unknown chilli peppers, garlic, butternut squash, beetroots, parsnip, green and red bellpeppers, rhubarb, green beans, spinach, leek, few kinds of herbs, celery, carrots, few kinds of lettuce, zucchinis, radishes, pumpkins and many kinds of different fruits.

cool duck!

BIG DUCK ENERGY
You need foxes or else they'd have disappear by lack of preys

I wanna grow some herbs, saw some seeds at Walmart.
Should I plant them indoors or outdoors?
Will a big red solo cup full of dirt suffice or should I get proper pots or straight in the ground?

>>14190666
I also forgot to include my favourite basil plant. I have 1 green and 6 dark
