Who's getting a garden going?

Nyiah, Adding worms to the garden wouldn't be detrimental to the earthworms already here, would it?


No, it wouldn't be a problem at all.

Reminds me

I need tape recorders and cameras

I am past the point of caring over the laws opinion

Its take badge numbers
pictures of the warrants to search the place

Check all their dots on I's and crosses on T's


I have the money to sue
and pay the lawyer cash up front

And make all the officers and District attorney's involved go through 
hundreds of hours of depositions
their wives
and friends
(go ahead and invoke attorney work product.. this means you made records of the meeting right)

It is about behaviors long term
receipts for all her seeds I paid for
no burn credit cards

They would be buying me a new home

I digress
this is sad that in this country americans have to worry about such things

I say properly preplan and go for it

@guohua,

I have many more to start in the next week or two. Most will be outside. but I am going to try to grow some of the herbs, lettuce, and spinach indoors. I was unsuccessful in the past but now with the lights I should be okay.

Flowers:
Alyssum
California Poppies
Marigolds

Veggies:
chives
Royalty Purple bush beans
green beans
Brandywine pink tomatoes
Rutgers Tomatoes
cabbage
carrots ( danvers & scarlet nantes )
celery
cauliflower
collards
cucumber ( Boston pickling)
Kohlrabi ( I have never eaten this so we'll see )
Lettuce ( buttercrunch, bronze mignonette, oak leaf )
onions
parsnip ( never had this either. Should be fun to try. Already have some recipes lined up )
bell pepper (California wonder)
radish (cherry bell)
rutabaga
swiss chard
turnip
strawberries
potatoes
spinach

herbs:
cilantro
marjoram
basil
sage
thyme
cat nip for the kitties
chamomile
tarragon
mint

Maybe ( if space allows )
melon (hearts of gold)
zucchini
pumpkin (small sugar)
watermelon (crimson sweet)

it really depends on how tolerant our apartment complex will be with the trellises. I already talked to them and are okay with it now, but they may change their minds.

I'm try all heirloom seeds ( well for the food anyways) 
The seeds I am using are from this company: Grow For It!

I am using this furtilizer: Age Old Organics 12-6-6

Because of the heat I have added Coco Coir ( brand here) and water crystals ( brand here) to my compost mix (besides vermiculite and perlite) to help more with water retention.

Thank you! (I edited my post to include some of the products I use. )

I am still learning on how to grow things. We never use our outside space so I figured it would be a great learning tool for if/when the SHTF. You can't have too many "post-apocalyptic life skills". :)

It ain't gonna happen this month. I killed a couple of medical bills and will be left short this month for a project such as this. I'm annoyed, yet happy at the same time.

But the way i see it, since the garden will be in front of a huge plate glass window and in a climate controlled environment, I should be able to plant what I want year round. There's always next month and maybe I can find the things I need at my bud's farm and cobble it together anyways and still plant this month. I'll know this weekend as I'll be farm sitting.

I have most of the seeds, but nothing to plant them in.

My plan is somewhat overboard. I want to make a terrace on wheels so I can rotate the plants to the sun. I have the wheels/coasters and seed, just not the material to build it with.  ol522295b2

Still too chilly for my garden, but I'll want some flowers and herbs. fc/rose

I've poked about my buds farmette and while he does have everything I need, he's not willing to part with it. He gets home tomorrow so I can berate him face to face then. cu5222a777

Hmmmm...soil, I didn't even think of that. I was just thinking about getting some bags of potting soil and using that. I was thinking about using some of the soil from the pig pen as the plants there grow faster than the pigs can eat them, and these pigs eat EVERYTHING! But thought better of it since the garden will be in my apartment.  I'm sure the neighbors would have an issue with that...as would I. 7/39
