/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Are you in Australia?

Nope, Kentucky. I know that sounds like i have space to grow, but I live in the biggest city here in an urban area. Backyard gardening through intelligent space utilization. I do have some container plants, but most are in the soil.

Really? No one here grows their own food?

Did you forget to take your ritalin this morning, /b/ro?

I really want to try one day when I have the patience, land and materials. It'd be a lot cheaper than going to the farmer's market whenever I want to make a delicious stew.

I would like to experiment as well.

Damn that's beautiful OP. How long from plant to harvest?

Here's a feherezone pepper and two nardellos, which I've read are endangered. The nardellos are fantastic frying peppers. Thin walled and sweet as can be.

Depends on variety. The larger tomatoes are Big Beef tomatoes, which started producing after about 6 or 7 weeks. The smaller red tomatoes are baby romas, which took about 5 weeks to get going. The green ones are tomatillos. They produced like crazy! Tons of them after just over 4 weeks. They loved the summer heat. The peppers are jimmy nardellos which took probably ~8 weeks to reach maturity.

my fall garden starts with brassicas and lotttts of em. brocolli cauliflower and brussel sprouts to start. also yellow squash should harvest before freeze. lettuces kale and chard in the greenhouse hydroponics. i have about 10 potted peppers i want to overwinter but greenhouse isnt big enough for 4 foot tall plants everywhere, so most will have to die. makes me sad.
glad you garden op.

(i grow nothing in the ground)

Wow that's not long at all, I was expecting maybe 4 months or so.

It looks like you could create a nasty sauce from thar produce.

>>4836073
Do you use aquaponic? If so how much did the entire system set you back?

>>4836031
Of course we grow our own food here. I grew about 1,300-1,500 pounds of food this year and still have stuff to harvest.

So do you do it as a living? I can't imagine an garden hobbyist having the land to do that.

>So do you do it as a living?

Officially, I'm a farmer, but I spend more time on 4chan than actual farming. Turns out farming is a pretty lazy profession. lol

Yes sir, sauces galore. I scored a kitchen aid for 100 bucks so I've been making my own pizzas from scratch (more or less)

Here's home grown broccoli and carrots cooking in a bulgogi sauce

i dabbled in aquaponic but its a serious undertaking. but i know how its done now, was a good thing to learn.

>tfw you'll never have a garden

The closest to growing food I've been was growing pot back in my teen years.

I imagine growing food is a ton easier and less stressful huh? Because I'd really like to start growing fruits, veggies and beans but I wouldn't know where. I live in the city, so no land.

I know that feel, back in the day I wanted to grow coffee beans.

Then I realized it's seriously not worth all the effort and time for like 3 cups of coffee.

Maybe one day I'll grow strawberries and lemons...

IKTF

there are plenty of ways to city garden. this is one tecnique i use with 3 gallon buckets. if you have sun and a balcony. to most people its not worth it though.

Is this seriously even a "feel" that you have? You can start a garden almost anywhere.
