I am bad with plants and watching them slowly die will not help the dread.
I tried to plant five seed potatoes in 2017. I ended up with maybe two pounds of little potatoes. So the next year I planted more. And kept planting after that, along with a bunch of other veggies.
In 2024 I ended up with several milk crates full of potatoes that I ended up giving away to anyone who asked, tons of tomatoes, herbs, cucumbers, onions, lettuce, cabbage… I moved in the middle of the planting season in 2025 and didn’t get much growing, but I’m already working on the garden for 2026…
Just plant something. There are hours of videos and probably thousands of books written over hundreds of years that explain how to make things grow, and learning how to keep stuff alive is half the fun.
It’s fucking February
Yeah, bit late to be planting garlic now. My chives are almost ready for their first harvest of the year and my rosemary could probably do with cutting back a bit but I need some recipes to use it up. This is in the UK anyway.
Fucking preach
Thanks, I’m cured
I had nice plants at the last place I lived but had to move back in with my dad about 2 years ago and his orange cat eats LITERALLY anything green and leafy. All plants I brought with were either eaten to death or moved to inadequate spots in order to be saved from being eaten, only to die from lack of proper light…
I wish I could grow plants but sadly I live with demon spawn and nothing I’ve tried has helped lol.
Maybe either keep your garden behind 360° chicken wire protective fencing or keep that demon spawn cat in a cage.
Haha…
Oh wait you have dirt to plant stuff in??
I keepntrying to have a little garden but the fucking deer eat it all first.
That’s my issue. Even plants like tomatoes and hot peppers that are always on the “deer never eat these” lists will get eaten if I leave them exposed. Physical barriers are the only thing that works.
Yeah…between the squirrels and the ants and whatever bug would punch little holes in my tomatoes and the weeds and the not enough rain followed by too much rain…I was less happy having a garden because all that work I did and everything turned to shit. Pass…
