mydeadfriends Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 :lol: at the size comparison. how was the flavor of the big one? i hear they lose a lot when they get that big. i quit watering my yellow squash plant like a month ago cause they all just kept rotting away, today i glanced over at it (on the other side of the yard from everything else) and saw the one i just harvested wtf? i thought the plant would have been dead by now. theres a bunch more mini ones growing also, maybe i was watering them to much :confused: sounds like it...also when you water squash, pumpkins, zucchini etc. try to directly water the roots if you get water on the leaves during the day in sunlight it may cause the leaves to burn or rot.

Schnitzel Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 start making pesto with all the basil serum, you can freeze it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Dunn Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I pulled about 100 jalepenos 2 weeks ago. I made jalepeno poppers and they were fucking perfect. I have more jalepenos ready to pick now. I have some big tomato plants but they're taking forever to ripen. I'm going to make salsa with them and a few jalepenos most likely.

serum Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 yeah i'm getting pesto'ed out i have some every week which i shouldn't complain since i start to miss it in the winter. i may need to invest in a plant light. i've never froze it before though. i presume that you only chop the basil, olive oil, garlic and pine nuts before freezing it? add the cheese later?

veintiocho Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 i presume that you only chop the basil, olive oil, garlic and pine nuts before freezing it? add the cheese later? pretty much. freeze it into ice cube trays (wrapped in a plastic bag to avoid freezer burn) and pop them out as needed.

thecarwreck Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Bringing it back because I just turned over the garden and drank beer outside for the first time in months. Stoked to get back in the dirt. Peas and onions go in on St. Pat's for luck... 12oz garden club, let's go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pornbooth Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 today was a great day to play in dirt, the garden is gonna be off the hook this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Started growing in pots about a month or so ago. We moved into our house and they have a Lilly that's in bad shape that I want to save. A shitload of mint. I want to get that under control possibly just start over fresh. I'm hoping to get a nice little herb garden going along side diff mint varieties. I kinda wanna grow a passion vine from a hanging pot. Since putting it in the ground iwould most likely run rampant. But it attracts carpenter bees since they are the only ones that are big enough to pollinate and my wife will bitch about them Problem is my little plot gets very little light cause of second story and trees. Thinking about maybe trying indoor gardening. Anyone use MH or HPS lighting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampFightOner Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 I went to my brother's crib in the sticks for the first time the other day, and while we were grilling he was all excited showing me his tomato, basil, jalapeño, and whatever else plants. I just called him a fag and told him to go breastfeed his daughter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soup Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Bump this thread. A couple weeks ago I went on a tour at O'o farm and sold myself on growing all my own produce from here out. In ten years I hope to own enough land to be completely self-sufficient for my vegs and proteins. Agroecological urban sustainability is coming. Anyone have any good books or resources? I really want to grow hemp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicenemyno.3 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I didn't really know were else to put this since there isn't a horticulture thread so here is where it goes. I bought this orchid about a year and a half ago and it hasn't bloomed since it lost the first set of flowers it had. My fiancee thought it was dead and told me to get rid of it, but I kept it, it bloomed and she took some nice pictures. Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obnoxious Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 orchids are expensive aern't they? i don't have anything growing in my yard other then grass and some weeds but that's about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serum Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 the key to orchids is humidity and not overwatering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
