Anybody have a garden? - GoFuckYourself.com

Sarah_Jayne · 04-19-2007, 02:05 AM

My mom used to bore me to near death by here interest in gardening. However, over the last year something has happened where I feel the need to re-learn growing my own veg, etc. I don't have backyard though..so only a really big balcony that I am trying to turn into a potted garden this summer. Anybody else garden?

Tylo · 04-19-2007, 03:08 AM

I used to have a huge garden when I lived in Ohio! Now that I live in Florida there is no where to have one...

StarkReality · 04-19-2007, 03:17 AM

Only a lawn, I'm travelling quite alot and simply don't have the time for a real garden, but I grew up with one as well...similar experiences with my parents, real gardening freaks.

Broda · 04-19-2007, 03:29 AM

Yeah. A huge lawn and some areas are for gardening. My wife takes care of the garden and I do the lawn.
Maybe one day when I retire I could get interested in gardening. But at this point in time, I think it's a waste of time. I like looking at it, but getting down on my knees and do to it what needs to be done to keep it nice, no thanks.. not my idea of fun

I am actually happy to not have a lawn..I am allergic to bee stings so I try to keep flowers away too. However, I like the idea of growing veggies. I must be getting old.

Furious_Female · 04-19-2007, 05:23 AM

When I was growing up my parents had several huge greenhouses and fields of various different things. We had a commercial business selling annual flowers and produce. I didn't appreciate it back then, but now I cannot wait to get another greenhouse, plant a garden and fruit trees. I haven't been able to in the past few years.

I have a renewed passion for gardening and home grown things. I even saw this on TV www.tryagarden.com and want it

I can't wait until we buy a house so I can experiment

I used to have a garden when I was younger but I get tired of it...

Marie · 04-19-2007, 06:37 AM

I hope to have tomatoes, peas and paprikas this summer

We have some mint/basil/rosemary plants as well.

Sarah_Jayne · 04-19-2007, 06:39 AM

Paprikas just the dutch term for peppers?

Tom_PM · 04-19-2007, 06:41 AM

My family always had killer vegetable gardens, compost heap, toolshed full of tools, the whole 9 yards and I miss it. Nothing like digging up a potato, wiping off the dirt and biting right into it. I dont remember eating any store bought vegetables when I was little.

I want a garden myself now too.

Paprika is a type of pepper I believe. We're growing some chili's this year - or at least we were before the sun disappeared here again

Sharpie · 04-19-2007, 06:45 AM

I have several flower gardens & really like working in them. Gets me away from the computer.

I have always grown tomato plants - at least in Indiana where the very best tasting tomatoes are grown. I have not had good luck here in Florida. I have even brought back Indiana soil to grown them in. Just not the same!

More Booze · 04-19-2007, 07:03 AM

I used to hate all the gardening stuff until I turned ~16 and started to grow cannabis.

I don't grow that anymore but I do have tomatoes, chili and salad now.

Peaches · 04-19-2007, 07:07 AM

When we bought our first house when I was married we had a HUGE garden. Spent days tilling it, treating the soil, etc. We had so many veggies that we were begging friends to take them.

I used to have one here but it was at Wig's ;) He had a HUGE space he had okra, maters, squash, corn, beans, peppers, etc. Then he put up a sports court

I don't have any land that gets a decent amount of sun and is flat. I tried containers one year and that does well for tomatoes, but for beans, okra, squash, I'd get maybe 5 pieces ripe at a time - not exactly enough to cook, lol.

I tried strawberries on the deck but the dogs were eating them about 2 weeks before they'd ripen.

lesbodojo · 04-19-2007, 07:58 AM

I've got a fantastic urban garden. ...such a stress reliever.

Peaches · 04-19-2007, 08:02 AM

One thing about gardening, it spoils you for buying produce in the grocery store. I'm VERY lucky to live near orchards and one I frequent sells sweet potatoes, peppers, peaches, apples, green beans, tomatoes and probably some other things I miss by not going every week. Everything has SO much more flavor than the crap in the stores.

Choker Support · 04-19-2007, 08:07 AM

Organics are the way to go; everything is so fake and processed nowadays.
I think gardening will make you happy, Sarah.

Sometimes I wish everyone would just cut all the crap and pay attention to simplicity. We need siestas in the US!!!

Recently I have missed living around farmers where you can just pull up to their place abd buy a huge box of whatever they grow. You can do that in many parts of the UK but not really in London. Actually, farm shops are very trendy in the UK at the moment but one of the downfalls of living in a city is the lack of that sort of thing.

don't worry..peppers/capsicums is one of those vegetables that has different names in different countries. They are peppers in the UK and in the USA but capsicums in Australia.

borked · 04-19-2007, 09:34 AM

Our garden has really poor soil quality, so 2 years ago, I had 20 tonnes of soil/compost delivered and redid the entire thing. It took me 2 days, 1 wheelbarrow and sore arms just to shift the compost in from the road where it was dumped. Last year I planted a load of plants and trees and this year is the veggies.

All the garden waste I generated when I did the rehaul 2 years ago I put in a giant compost heap I made and the whole thing is looking fantastic now - composting is great fun, and very rewarding to regenerate the goodies for the plants from garden waste.

I now have 3 compost holding areas - done/nearly done/ just started. The heat inside the heap of 'just started' is incredible.

I love gardening - I'm crap at it, but I love it anyway.

shekinah · 04-19-2007, 09:59 AM

We do have a simple garden outside.. my mom and pa used to plant indian mangoes there and some veggies..

Syl · 04-19-2007, 10:28 AM

I really want one but I kill every plant I come in contact with. I always forget about watering them.

PamiebDVD · 04-19-2007, 10:36 AM

I've got a nice little garden here. Growing up with the fresh veggies, I just can't stand the crap in the stores. You should be able to grow tomatos and peppers in pots. Definitely herbs. It relieves a lot of stress!

The Irish have the best idea..... lol. Take a potato... cut it about 3/4 of the way in half.....
Take a rosebush stem.... plug it into the potato and bury it. The nutrients from the potato will help the rosebush stem to continue to grow into a new bush!

King Adam · 04-19-2007, 11:52 AM

Been growing in 2 locations for years. One in the northeast and one in the southwest desert. Totally 2 different styles.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Angelo22 · 04-19-2007, 11:59 AM

yes... it was my grandmothers... i take care of her flowers

HeadPimp · 04-19-2007, 12:45 PM

The ugly ass bushed the builder put in front of my house are coming out this weekend and a veggie garden is going down in its place. Got great Southern exposure for Tomatoes. Bet my neighbors are going to hate me this year. Especially the one next door that is the squawking old hen of the street.

I was thinking of documenting my attempts on a blog for that reason.

My only issue is that I am going to be away for two weeks at the end of June and start of July. So, if I plant tomatoes or something now I am going to have a problem since nobody will be here to water them,etc for those two weeks.
