RumPuncher Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 http://img1.photobucket.com/albums/1003/mike24k/deck_01.jpg'> Kilo's got a Green Thumb! Ahhh.... almost spring time! I went down to a little asain market yesterday and bought a tray of ivy plants to add to my jungle! Anyone else out there in 12oz land grow anything I've got a few window boxes going too and I think the tulip bulbs made it though the winter. now before the kids start making wise ass cracks, keep in mind this thread isn't directed at the people who still have to deal with detention or getting a learners permit. This is for the quater century club who are feeling Saturn's Return. I think I'll try planting morning glory vines again! http://www.extension.umn.edu/yardandgarden/YGLNews/images/windowbox.jpg'> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest imported_Tesseract Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 its a tragedy...in my 25 years it had snowed downtown 5 times, one when i was 12 one when i was 17 and the last three years in a row....the climate is going crazy i'm telling ya! dont imagine that we have snow wow, its like 3 days tops that you actually see the thing, still enough to kill the most sensitive garden members, RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abracadabra Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 that sucks. yeah, the climate is mental. it's been a drought here in melbourne for about 7 or so years now. barely ever rains, but when it does it's enough to flood the place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEE38 Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 i would love to have a garden! me and the mr. and the baby live in an apt. so we cant actually plant anything, but we used to have 2 lil plants i got from the 99cent store that was sooooo cute and made me feel.. "happier" for some reason..... they lasted a good 3 months and they were growing and everything till i think we went on a trip for 4 days and when i got back i forgot to water them for a week and they died. :( but back in hawaii i had sunflowers that were atleast 6 feet high.

BOZACK Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 this thread makes me jealous. i look forward to the day that i can have a nice balcony garden. the jesuit clergy at my old university had really nice balcony gardens in their quaters (all overgrown and out of control). SUCH a cool environment....on oak-lined st. charles avenue, streetcars passing by...very very nice. if i had the spcae i'd want a japanese garden. i have several books on the subject, and i want a reason to put them to use.

GnomeToys Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 I try to grow a garden every year, don't know if I'll be able to do any spring stuff this year but I'll be starting some tomato and pepper plants indoor soon, and planting some squash, onions, and cucumbers when I move to the new place in late april.

SteveAustin Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 kilo...since you're in an apartment...you just don't know how fucking evil ivy is. when I bought my house, the entire Northern side was covered with the shit. It was growing inside of the house. I had to repaint my entire house because of that shit. ivy ranting aside...I'm trying to turn my backyard back into a yard instead of the jungle it has become. I spent most of the day yesterday getting rid of more ivy/vines. I've been trying to think of things to do with it...I just may go the rock garden / asian influence route. it'd look dope as hell...especially with my big deck. oh yeah...I plan on planting some habeneros and thai chilis.

Guest WebsterUno Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 *believe* things in our garden: chayotes habaneros (once caught some fool trying to steal some!) roses yerba buena mint tomatoes limon tree naranja tree fig tree almond (I think? it hasnt fully grown yet, but we think its two in one!) various other plants... I dont know if trees count for a garden. but we have 'em. Ive heard that its good to have plants around the house. Cleans the air, helps you breathe better? So Ive heard.

Guest Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 oh no..... is steveaustin scared of a little leafy ivy? :shook: hahaha... I understand just how bad it can be. There's some pieces trying to work their way into the door frame and I have to rip them back. I'm sure that the vines can get killer and do lots of damange, but I'm renting, so I really dont give a fig tree. Ther's basket ivy and planted ivy. I'm going to buy like 4 more trays and plant them in the boxes all around my deck. muwah-hahahaha! for reals.... I'm going to leave my pad like this! http://www.tintagelweb.co.uk/images/Boscastle%20Photos/The%20Ivy%20Clings.jpg'> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveAustin Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 ^^ ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you have no idea how much I hate the stuff. its essentially got little feet on the vines that stick to everything....ah...I regress. yeah dude...its aight...you don't own that place so have at it. I'll admit I like how it looks. Webs...habs are definitely where its at. I'm not too worried about anyone stealing then. The gringos in my hood are awful pasty and quite frankly most will melt if they eat something as hot as the taco bell mild sauce. my dad used to grow jalapenos so hot that they would blister the inside of your mouth.

Spike Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 Mini-gardens are dope. I want one. Mowing the lawn, weeding, grinding leaves/twigs/branches/other assorted shit, spreading mulch, handling manure, making sure tomato plants dont die on me and sweeping leaves are probably enough to guarantee that my future plant experience doesnt involve anything more than maybe an apartment balcony. Or maybe a really really really well planned Zen garden. As long as theres a fuckoff layer of concrete underneath it all so there are no weeds. http://www.henrypaine.com/images/thum/details/Zen-Garden.jpg'> wonk sajnin get your rake skills on!

23578 Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 i want some of those jalepenos steve. it's so hard to find hot ones in the store anymore. my parents have had a garden in the backyard of their home since we bought the place twenty five years ago. never could play sports in our yard. i haven't kept the tradition alive unfortunately, but i think i have just been inspired to go clear out some of the crap out back of where i am living and plant some veg once the frost goes this year.

Gunm Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 The weather is starting to warm up where I live in (blank). Yeah, once finals are over I wanna devote a little time to cleaning up my backyard some and securing a corner for myself to plant in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
