the poor little dears in little tiny pots trying to get

You do realize these guys have turned us all into slaves.
"Oh, do you want some more water? There not enough
poop in your soil? Are you warm enough? Are you cool
enough? Do you have enough sunlight? A BUG! A BUG!
A BUG!"

you do know that what you write above is not how i
garden? i keep things very simple.


I was in a stupid mood waiting for something to
download

silly you!


Can't figure out if a smiley face or a frown goes here.

i don't do starts here much at all. no room indoors
and we keep it too cool most of the time anyways. i
wait for the ground to warm up and plant most things
towards the end of May.

I have started doing the start because I can not plant
outside until the second week of June do to overnight
freezes. Then everything gets killed in October.
The growing season is very short.

actually, you've got a few more weeks than i do as we
can get our first frosts in mid-to-late September. we
may plant earlier though.


I have a black thumb. You are a total inspiration.

if you keep brainwashing yourself you may not see it
happen, but learning how to grow things (or at least
practice benevolent neglect) can take some time and
even the best of us have our failures. by far there
are others in this group who know tons more than i do
(i can't identify plants or trees very well for instance
while Pat, David and Fran seem to know plants by their
scientific names at the drop of a hat).

what i lack in complicated nomenclature i try to make
up for in basic things like reading about soil sciences
and looking at what people are doing all over the world
for regenerative and restorative agriculture/gardening.

one recent project i was looking at was the sadhana
haiti project. very inspirational given that down there
is so very difficult.

Eat your heart out bird, we're still harvesting eggplant, tomatoes, and
sweet chilies plus harvesting broccoli and about seven different greens.
It's 74F outside and threatening/offering rain. Move south.
