Proud of this — 1 week ago
Worth doing!
I’m proud of this because I needed to prove to myself that I could grow things from seeds – nurture and feed them and see them flourish. Looking back, it was as much to demonstrate my creative potential as actually eating them or trying to save the planet. I’ve learnt a lot for next year – when to plant, how to plant, and not to put too many seeds in each pot and overwater them so they mildew :-|

Not right now — 1 week ago
There will be a time for it, but right now it’s just not possible. I’m living in an apartment, and all my plants on my balcony have died.
One day I will live in a house with a beautiful, lush garden… But for now I’m taking it off my list.
Love it! — 1 week ago
I love cultivating my green thumb, and growing vegetables is such a sustainable way of doing it. Flowers are nice to look at, but vegetables are edible, often cheaper than flowers when buying seedlings, reduce your cost at the grocery store or farmers market, and provide better nutrition than most of the conventionally, commercially grown produce. Growing organic was not very difficult, either – at least not as difficult as I thought it would be. Marigolds help with pest control, and there are some other little tricks you can use to keep pests away and to keep soil healthy.
I’m grateful for my first harvest, and look forward to the bounty to continue this summer. I’ll definitely be planting my own vegetables again.
First fruit! — 1 week ago
My first fruit. Well, veggie. :) There are a lot more veggies almost ready to be picked!
I'm about to count this done... — 1 week ago
...because I just ate my first homegrown cucumber – and it was delicious! My garden is a success! I showed the earth a little love, and it provided nourishment back. It feels wonderful to be part of this very primal, very humbling process. Pictures to come soon.

Worth doing!
last year we grow lots of potatoes in plots and tubs. This I planted seeds for peppers, corgettes, tomatoes and carrots nothing happened so I cheated and bought seedings which are doing fine :0) Eating lettuce leaves from the garden daily :0)
I'd love to .. — 2 weeks ago
I’ve got hundreds of seeds that I bought, but everytime I do it, my seeds perish.
I definately don’t have green fingers. My herb garden is a disaster … Any advice anyone?

Schnittstelle asks,
“I have quite some tall-growing plants planned for next year - tomatoes, paprika, peas - and now I'm looking for some veggies to plant in front of them (a row lower on the shelf), that will not take their light away. Do you have any suggestions?”
