This was last year's organic lettuce, i love this picture heh. Also grew 3 cucumber vines, 6 tomatoe plants, 4 other lettuce plants, 2 basil plants, 2 watermelon plants, 3 pepper plants, and two dipper gourd plants..all in a 9ft by 4 foot rectangle! lol i was surprised how everything grew so much. was an awesome first organic gardening experience and went surprisingly smooth.

for my second year I have some tiny sprouts of 6 scallion plants, 5 lettuce plants, 1-2 watermelon plants, and 3 basil plants

not sure if ill be doing any tomatoes, i'd like to but they are such an iffy plant..between calcium/bottom end rot, potassium needs, and watering sensitivity.....such an iffy plant..but i may consider it since i'll know a little more about them this year, and last years tomatoe plants were really productive. just gotta watch out for THESE little buggers that come outtta nowhere (tomatoe hornworns):

cmon people i wanna see some VEGGIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSsssssssssssaaaa aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh

WTF is on this beautiful last picture?

Hey Shibby, no I can't post veggies, but maybe later on in the season I'll post a couple pics of flowers I grow.


rgds, kov

I'm growing some organic tomatoes in a greenhouse this year. I am using Cedrico F1 Greenhouse hybrid organic seeds. They were almost as fun to pick out as cannabis seeds.

they're eggs from parasitic wasps that are laid on the caterpillar and then suck the life out of it and then hatch. usually people can buy parasitic wasps to let free or something but these ocurred naturally, which is cool.

Vegetable gardening is a must. My sister has a nice garden I tend to dig around in when I get a chance. I can't have an outdoor garden because of where I live. One day I will. This year so far we got tomatoes, bell peppers, green beans, squash, corn, broccoli, blueberries, raspberries, and peas. She also has a seperate herb garden with lots of good herbs. I might try to hide a clone in there if it grows out good. It runs in my families blood so of course I'm going to be having a garden with organic goodies. Not to mention some cannabis too.

everything is growing

blackpepper mint - really nice with sugar in tea, refreshing to drink when stoned

organic pest control... this ladybird will lay her aphid feeding larvae soon


the biggest 'alpine' strawberry plant I have ever seen and grown,,, x1 plant
This beast has been fed Dr Hornby Iguana Juice Bloom, she sits ready to flower late April, her petals already forming

the sage, dill, black pepper mint (and last years garlic) is now being harvested for cooking/tea :wink:

the chillies, coriander, all sit at seedling stage
just sown advanced chillies/peppers and baby spinach
new blackcurrents and blackberry runners/bushes transplanted
the ganja sits to one side at this time of year,,, there is food to be grown!

Remember nature is green and free...

And let me tell you - EVERYTHING FROM STORES SUCK BIG TIME! THERE'S NOTHING OUT THERE AS GOOD AS YOUR OWN. I grow organic (biobizz, wc from my own bíns, blahblah). All you need is some shelves, a few fluoros over them and some love.

Peace

well youve inspired me to start a garden. i jsut spent over 120$ on 4 diferent tomatoes, 6 peppers, 3 lettuce, mint, oregano, 2 species of basil, dill, serveral other herbs. strawberries, cucumbers, watermelons, 2 eggplants, brussel sprouts and broccili. i havnt been able to find celerey or carrots anywhere though. i heard i can cut the tops off of carrots and plant them is this true?

anyway i started digging today, 6 hours of work and only about 5x4 feet of ungrassed earth to shwo for it... (grass roots in mostly clay soil SUCKS!!)
when this garden is all done ill be sure to post some pics.

hi always

Good to see you growing food it's natures way

You can get sage in seed from most garden centers/nursuries.
With Sage, Im finding it's best to thin out, to make a few larger plants.

This is Sage and Dill, happy with one another

Both sage and dill can be grown SOG style or thinned to make big plants, as with basil (missing this year) and coriander... it depends how you want to crop/use

peace dL

*sage for stuffing onions, dill for stuffing fishes... lol
