The gardening thread

[eaterfan]

I checked but I couldn't find a thread for gardening on the board. Does anyone here garden? 

I own a townhouse so I don't have much room. I've always wanted to grow a free things for myself to eat. My girlfriend made me a planter box for a present. I keep it on the patio and I'm growing a few herbs, tomatoes, and peppers. It's not the best conditions, but I'm starting to get some growth. I've never really grown anything before so I was hoping this could be a place to trade ideas and share tips. Here's a picture of my set up when I first planted about a month ago. There's another box below with some basil, rosemary, and mint. The mint is growing in really well. I used it to make some mint juleps.

I can tell you how to grow marijuana.

On a side note, it’s essentially the same. So if you have questions about watering, feed schedules, nutrient/ph balancing, etc. I might be of assistance.

But in general, you can probably grab a base schedule for the above just by Googling.

Thanks, I missed the window for optimal growing, but I'm okay with that. Most of my questions involve pruning, and caging to get the best yield at this point. I'm hoping to get enough peppers this year to make my own hot sauce and a few batches of salsa.

I'm also going to try to build 2 large planter boxes to hang over the wall. This will increase sun exposure and spacing between the plants. My current set up had everything too crowded according to what I've read on the internet.

I'm not exactly sure how I'm going to build it, but I have some ideas.

It's nice to see pics from Cals that don't involve, um, his dog watching tv.

i threw a bunch of rocks on my lawn right before he mowed it.

I'd be a great gardener if I didn't have to do any weeding.

This forum is all about gardening and recipes now.

Next thing you know there will be threads about manicures, eye brow threading and skin care

Ha. I am helping a friend start a growing company to do this. The biology is amazingly straight forward but holy sh*t you have to be meticulous.

Yeah, the formulas are out there. When I did it methods and science were evolving so everyone wants to change to the latest and greatest growing methods. The plants are finicky and temperamental so growers are essentially daily baby sitters.
