Plants

Im just starting a garden!! =D Nothin’ really cool like strawberries…Just normal vegetables :slight_smile: I hope it works out good.

And besides that I have one little indoor plant I take care of myself! =D I dunno what it is…but its those tiny thing that are green with all pink poka-dots on its leaves. I always kill my plants…but this time, Im working really hard to make this one really healthy and pretty :slight_smile:
I named him Chokobo. Is anyone else crazy enough to name thier plants?? XD

I just tilled a patch of earth for my very own orgainc garden. So far I have several types of bell pepper, watermelon, tomatoes, jalapeno peppers, squash, and a few other things, I think i am also going to grow anaheim peppers, habenero peppers, egplant, and green/string beans. Any tips?

I know that beans and tomatoes like to ‘climb’. There are actually wire devices that you can stick in the ground which the plants will climb up. I’m not sure what they’re called, but they’re cylindrical in shape with four vertical wires that you stick into the ground. Anyways, beans and tomatoes love those things :smile:

I’m so jealous! I need my own veggie garden; it would save money and I won’t have to be afraid of what I’m eating.
Hmm, the only advice I can give you is give 'em some love :wink: , and don’t eat the peppers when they’re green 'cause that just means they’re not ripe yet (which is why green pepper’s are a nightshade vegetable).

Already got a bunch of 'em :ok:

My aunt gave me a lot of seedlings and seeds a couple of days ago. :smile:

I really should get some too :confused:

I wish I had room to grow some vegetables, however my apartment only has a small balcony. I might be able to grow one or two tomato plants, but I don’t like tomatoes :content:

Get a closet growing kit. You can see them advertised in magazines like High Times or Cannabis Culture, because they are mainly used by people growing pot(your closet is a good place, no one can see), but you do not have to grow pot, you can grow whatever you want. They come with a grow light and everything. Apparently the good one work quite well.

Actually there are several hydroponics stores around here where I could purchase indoor growing supplies…the problem is I have no space indoors either :content:
I guess growing vegetables will have to wait :yes:

maybe i could get some pics of my garden up here in a week or two. Hmmm yeh. It is a 4x8 frame with soil which I have composted mixed with some store bought and some soil from the yard. I dont grow from seed due to the care and such put into that. I put miracle grow for vegitables on it and the veggies are growin over night. You know that cant be healthy. Well I`ll put a picture of the compost bin i built which is a cube with chicken wire sides to keep everything in and one side is hinged as a door to simplify everything. I got the plans for this out of some guide to being a hippie.

I love plants too. I’ve got a baby spider plant that i took from a cutting, two geraniums. Something which i’ve been told is a Japanese Hoya (anyone heard of those?) which i’ve had for about seven years, and it’s still in the same pot. It doesn’t grow very much.
I’ve also got a Christmas Cactus, which didn’t flower when i bought it, but now has new leaves coming out.
Until recently, i had an African Violet, but it died. I don’t think i’m very lucky with those, although i have green fingers.
As well as these, i have a dragon palm, and a cyclamen that is now resting until the end of the summer, when i will begin watering it again, to see if i can bring it back for christmas.
I now have my eye on a money tree and a Gloxinia that i’ve seen in the supermarket, although i’m not sure where i’m going to put them…this room is already turning into a jungle!

I had a cyclamen once also…but I think I killed it somehow :sad:
Maybe I wasn’t taking care of it properly, but one day it just started to wilt, until it had completely died away.

I have just made some kind of “latter” or my climbing plant :smile:

Dont look too good , but whatever

Oh crap, I did it again! :wallhit:

Note to self: do NOT vacuum clean the plants.

:shock: WHAT? How? Why? Why did you vacuum clean them?

Yeah, I know it was a silly thing to do…
There were lots of tiny flies around my plants.
When I was vacuuming up the flies, the two biggest leaves got sucked in.

Does anyone have a better way to get rid of insects? :tongue:

Do you smoke? :tongue:

:lol: No.

Then the best way of getting rid of them is just not possible. :razz:

Pesticide, maybe?
