what to do with a hill? - General Gardening - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Hello guys,

my family owns in the very south italy a small hill that up to today hasn't been used for anything. It's 2 km from the sea, and there's a lot of sun and gentle breeze.

Now there's growing some PRETTY BIG wild plants, so i suppose that if i decide to grow something, it could get pretty big too.

So, i need an input on what to grow there following the following criteria:

a) Easy to maintain: i could care about it just one month, in august, and eventually the crop

b) NO MARIJUANA!!!!!

c) should be well the worth

any suggestion?

sweet corn, okra, potatoes, garlic, onions all take very little attention.

what about some biofuel?

YES!!!

And if it's too much work, we could send you a couple of "gardeners" from the desert southwest US.

BTW, I really LOVE Italy! Wish I could go back there sooner than later.

grapes take a bit of work to get going. I'd say onions or potatoes.

id be trying things like marrows, pumpkins, squash, eggplants, chillis, peas, beans, melons, corn and as many other things as you can.

Sorry, had to stereotype lol.
Really though, here in Washington, Spokane, a city on the other side of the Cascades has been getting hit HARD with grow busts. It sounds as though a whole bunch of people have bought vineyards intended for grapes and FILLING it with ganja. They aren't even keeping it on the down low with rows of vines with grapes and a few plants. lol. better them than me

As for what I suggest you plant there? I love a good homegrown tomato personally. It is one of the plants you take off the vine, bite into, and taste all the work you put into it. You could do a small row of garlic, a row of basil, a row of onion a row of tomato a row of lettuces and cabbages, and row of root plants such as carrots or potatoes.... Really, the options are endless. What is your taste? What are you thinking of growing up there?
