Yay! A garden thread! I'm gonna probably be in here a lot lol.
I am actually the worst at gardening. I like to buy the stuff and get it started but I wish it could plant and maintain itself. Every year I say this time will be different and I'm going to have the best garden. Last year actually started good and I was really enjoying it for the first time ever, then the drought came and it got over 100F for days. The heat burned everything up.
I started tomatoes and peppers in January. They are getting so big now but as I mentioned in the shoutbox I'm almost afraid to plant them. My lettuce and greens are just about big enough to start eating now. I planted all of that at the beginning of last month.
Last fall I dug up every pepper plant, my eggplants and stevia to try to winter them over in the greenhouse. I must have had some of them too close to the door because I lost almost every pepper plant when it got real cold. I do still have a few though and my cayenne plant is already blooming and making peppers. My eggplants made it too and look real good.
I've started a lot of different herbs but since I'm inpatient, I bought a bunch too. I plan on planting marigolds in with my tomatoes and oregano with my squash this year because it's supposed to help with pests.
I also plan to experiment with Electro Culture gardening. Not sure how it works but apparently making copper antennas is supposed to do something like charge up your soil, when you stick them in the dirt and really make the plants grow. I'm skeptical but not so much that I won't try it.
