the supermarket chains don't want bernd to know that

they want to sell us overpriced potato and not even think about putting it in ground

they even spread a myth that potato for eating is not suitable for planting, that they kill them chemically or some shit so it doesn't sprout

this is of course lies as everyone whose potato started sprouting should be aware of

but too many just fail to connect the dots

 

Wow, this morning I also was considering making a gardening tree, but I decided to wait because there isn't any harvest yet.

 

From left to right:

 

- 5 tobaco plants and 4 hot pepper plants

- two tomatos, they showed their first blossoms a few days ago and there are bumblebees everywhere already!

- strawberries! i have around 10 plants in total.

- two pumpkins and a sweet pepper plant

 

I have some more cherry tomatos in my room but they are still smol. Also a nice 420 plant.

i mean thread of course, oopsie

 

Sadly, where I live the ground is poisoned so you can only grow plants in pots or in these raised beds like you did, OP.

Kys gardengarchs, I wish I had a garden to plant as many weed as I want.

I also have cherry tomatoes and chilies and aubergines in pots in the city

potatoes are planted elsewhere, at holiday home

I use raised bed primarily bc soil there is kinda shallow and also it floods quite a bit, raised bed helps with draining in my case

Nice.

Today I bought myself a lemon tree - I always wanted to have one - and soon my brother will bring me a laurel bush, I will keep posting plant related updates in this thread.

 

Also, if you have raspberries, please show.

I'm salty that I can not plant them here because of the poisoned ground :(

 

Just go somewhere in a forest where nobody else goes and put out your pregrown cannabis plants there.

The botatoes I've been purchasing from the supermarket have been decreasing in quslity as of the last month and this upsets me.

Why does it upsets you?

My lemon tree arrived! A dream coming true.

I hope it will like my balcony and wintergarden.

 

Some of the leaves are damaged and they seem to have cut it in a way that it easily fits in a box for transport, but the blossoms which aren't even opened yet smell very nice ;3

I throwed my into the trash bin because everything around the plant become sticky.

you need to housetrain your tree

Ants did attack the tree.

Looks good! Be careful not to overwater, I made that mistake early on

Omg, you aren't supposed to put them next to a heater, hot and dry air is to citrus trees is what LEGO bricks on the ground are to us humans. A citrus tree isn't even supposed to be inside your house during summer!

No wonder it died... I feel so sorry for it ;-;

 

Anyway, I have two new friends:

A venus flytrap and a pitcher plant.

This year I will try to grow them indoor not in the garden like I usually did and I will try to count how many insects they eat and I will check whether insects in summer are less annoying in general with these carnivores around.

 

Anyway, this week is rainy and cold, so I don't expect anything interesting to happen in the garden. Sad.

This heater was never on, i have a second one in my room.

The tree did not die. Last summer i could not put the tree out because they removed my balcony.

 

pro tip: use only rain water for this plant.

well you're quite botanical

...

Noice

Before i found KC i was browsing Hanfburg and i have read all the Outdoor-Growing reports.

I have planted some peyote seeds but they don't look healthy

Did you keep the seeds in a humid environment?

They're very susceptible to drying out and need to be babied.

Instead you should maybe invest in San Pedro seeds, as they're far more robust and faster growing.

I did...

They were going pretty good for the first 6 weeks or so and now they have completely stalled.

Post some pictures. Peyote is a very slow growing cactus.

Needs more humidity and to be kept out of direct sunlight. Otherwise it's looking fine.

I spray every time soil looks dry, should I do more?

I do that yeah

 

guess I just gotta wait longer then (it's been 10-11 weeks now)

based!

Growing a peyote is also on the list of things I want to do in life.

 

Hopefully soon a friend will let me try some of his DMT liquid and if I like it i like psilocybin but started to dislike LSD then I will try to make my own DMT powder, but as for now I don't even know what plant I should choose to grow for that.

You should cover the tray with a dome or insert the pot into a miniature greenhouse so it can reach optimum growing efficiency.

Fug I dearly want to grow diviner's sage but being transient makes it impossible.

Three weeks of rain without a single bit of sunshine must have been too much for her.

The roots probably suffocated in the water and started to rot.

Surprisingly, the 2-3 weeks younger tomato on the right which went to the exact same conditions, does very well.

 

Pic 2 are fruits on the tomato with the yellowing leaves, I hope they will do fine.

 

On pic 3 you can see how mushrooms are sprouting next to my strawberries, it really has been very wet the last few weeks.

 

Pic 4 is the cannabis plant I put in the forest far away from here. A bro checked it out and sent me this pic - you can see how it only gained height without producing any new leaves because it was desperate to reach the light within these last 3 weeks of rain.

Shit those tomatoes looke cute af, rest in pisses frens

FUG I will need to check up on my potatoes soon!

I hope they didn't drowneded...

potato update

Thats not many potatos.

I will get a couple kilo out of that, to go with summer grilling's

Nice, next year I will plant some too, hopefully.

Pics are my sprouts, it's not really gardening but I wanted to share anyway :-DDD

It's mustard seeds at the top and alfalfa seeds at the bottom.

So I wonder, how the hell do I choose a place with good soil (i mean like 5 acres) if I have no idea about gardening? Is there any book ?

 

And especially interested in the Mediterranean region.

Idk. I just follow the common sense (look at where plants seem to be growing as is, check if there's say flooding or erosion hazard, maybe read up a bit on what general kind of soil each specific crop wants) and it grows, simple as

Just when will I get my own sweet chestnut tree ;_;

So where grasses grow can I also grow trees? What if it is rocky as fuck.

Do you want to buy a dacha in south europe?

 

Usually quality of soil maps can be found for each region of a country.

Here is an interactive example for my region:

How much costs a German dacha

 

Yes!

 

Thanks, thats what I am looking for.

Depends on where.

Most parts of this country are very crowded, but there are some parts, especially in the north east, where you can get a piece of land for a few thousand euros.

How likely is it that you will actually do this?

 

t. dacha in france haver

I already have (family) some olive trees in Crete but consider buying some really cheap land somewhere really as far as possible from others. But I know shit about land. And I think Greek soil is mediocre in general.

Potato update.

Seeing some tracks of m*ce trying to eat it tho

Prepare the buckets.

Imagine the smell

potato update

nice

 

my lemon tree got 60+ new buds and new leaves are shooting out of some places (pic3)

 

im glad he is doing well

Nice! Lemon tree flowers is my favorite smell ever

Hmm, is it normal for some pumpkin kinds to have white leaves?

The two plants behave 10/10 healthy so I'm unsure weather this is an disease or not. Sadly I don't remember what seeds exactly I planted there.

Hm I think I've seen that before. It should be normals.

There's powdery mildew infection that looks similars but yours looks very symmetric and only around the veins – fungi don't grow on leaves like that.

I thought exactly sames

 

Pic 1 will be my first pepper 2021.

Pic 2 is a close spot in my city that I like, usually the water is a lot more clear.

peyotes update: they dieded

How? potato beetle?

no, potatos are fine

I think my brother didn't water like instructed

or maybe it was some fungus I don't know

Pumpkin update: They like the rain.

How much rain did you receive?

12

mm? It's raining now and I think we've received 30mm overnight.

Edit: I just checked and it was 30mm every hour.
