kale and sorghum.

I live in an apartment so no garden. I do have a tomato plant on my porch in a big pot, though.

>>14364988
Everything I have is owned by the state, they even took my foreskin when I was a child. I cannot experience any pleasure down there.

My money crop is taters, but I have like 20 things going, including a new plot of tobacco which is looking really nice. I'm going to flue-cure it old style like in the 1700s.

>>14365039
Umm, tobacco does NOT cure the flu!

>>14365045
They flu was invented by George Orwell in 1984

>>14365045
>>14365052
I've been throwing poisonous spiders that i kill and wasps into the soil with the tobacco as mulch.

It's going to be potent.

you're seriously growing wheat in a garden? so whats you're yearly yield, 7 muffins?

>>14364988
Small garden this year. Peppers, tomatoes, mint, and basil.

>>14365104
10x10 ft patch can support 1 pound of seed and should be expected to yield at least 10x
That's plenty.

it's like 110+ F so nothing

mainly just grow herbs like parsley, oregano, basil. have a few tomato plants and thats it.

Nice we’ve got some peppers and chilis, nothing as cool as wheat

>>14365618
this is cool i never heard of anyone growing wheat in their garden

i grew some lil purple potatoes that were good from a sprouting one i had bought, plant died after a few months tho idk if i did something wrong. ive heard i can probably still harvest some more potatoes once the plant's died tho.
growin some tomatoes and roses too. oh and celery.
thinking of growing garlic and onions soon too.
anyone have advice on those or anything? im new to gardening

>>14365021
they had to separate the wheat from the chaff

Why have your own garden? It seems like a lot of work for little reward.

>>14365716
t. fucking loves the hustle and bustle of the big city

>>14365721
t. fabricates characters to dismiss yucky questions

>>14365716
Have you never done it? There is a unique joy gardening and farming. An ancient contract between man and earth to put labor into the soil and yield payment of food.

>>14365745
Ok then, a garden isn’t that much work. A few hours a month just keeping an eye on things, and it gives some sense of accomplishment and self sufficiency. It might save you a few bucks long term too

>>14365716
Little reward? You get a huge amount of fresh fruits and vegetables. It's also enjoyable to grow them as well.

>>14364988
Tomatoes and peppers mostly. Also have some herbs. I had radishes, but they're all harvested at this point. Looking forward to my fall planting. Any ideas? I'm zone 8b in North Texas.

>>14364988
living in a studio apartment right now so i'm currently growing some herbs in my windowsill and i have a tomato plant growing outside of my door.
moving in next month to a small house with a backyard. honestly can't wait to grow so much shit.

>>14365045
It did in the 1700s.

It's kinda late for seasonal planting now... What should I plant that can survive the winter or stay inside?

>>14364988
I wanna get 4 or 5 acres with my fiancée.

We plan to have chickens, a mini orchard of citrus trees, and an apiary.

>>14364988
Tomatoes, peas, squash, beets, cabbage got eaten by bugs, melon, cucumbers, and a bunch of herbs

>>14365716
If you can’t understand why someone would find it rewarding to nurture life out of the Earth, you probably never had a healthy relationship with your father.

>>14365716
Only if you're dumb and grow shit like wheat.
It's worth it for a lot of fruits, vegetables, and herbs though.

>>14364988
Only growing some herbs: Parsley, mint, chives, basil, chervil, tarragon, coriander, dill and cress.

>>14364988

Weed and habaneros

>>14367326
What strain?

>>14367528
orange colored habaneros

>>14367550
Of weed lmao

I live in a cold climate so most stuff is just getting to harvest time now. But Ive been eating eggs, herbs, salad greens for a month or two. The greenhouse is full of peppers and tomatoes.

>>14368167

>>14365648
Your supposed to harvest after the plant dies. You should go digging for them before they rot.

Bump

>>14368174
Heyyy, are you the parking cone duck guy?

>>14364988
Chili peppers and herbs.

I was trying to grow a tomato plant, but caterpillars came and ate it down to the very stem. Fucking assholes.

>>14370441
Try spraying a bit of neem oil on the plant, but make sure you wash the tomatoes well before you eat them.

Had to do the same thing with my basil and raspberries because I had Japanese beetles eating them to fucking ribbons.

>>14366711
Nice, you can teach her son how to grow stuff. You're a good human anon.

>>14368174
Feels very cluttered

>>14370648
I only have a small area that gets sunlight. So I have tl squeeze everything into it.
