What kind of food are you GROWING, /ck/?

[Anonymous No.6349356]

I've got tomatoes and peppers are under the grow light. It's still too cold out for them to be outside.
My garlic from last october is sprouting super early. I'll bet it's ready for harvest in June

Hey fuck you farmer feels, I planted my GD garden this weekend and now if snowing balls and I'm going to have to do it all over again.

[Anonymous No.6349365]

Nothing at the moment; it's still too cold here in Bong.

[Anonymous No.6349385]

I'm not starting any seedlings for at least another three weeks. We got three inches of snow in my area over the weekend and except for a day here and there, temps at night are still in the high teens and low twenties.

I'm growing roma and black brandywine tomatoes this year along with a couple kinds of peppers (some kind of sweet bell and poblanos, probably) and yellow onions.

I grow the majority of my herbs indoors. I'm currently growing flat leaf parsley, garlic chives and sweet basil.

[Anonymous No.6349403]

I started my chili pepper seeds last week. The first little germinated seeds were planted yesterday. I've got them under a CFL grow light.

watermelons and turnips
how do i stop the sun from roasting my watermelons?

[Anonymous No.6349424]

I'm not growing anything yet, but I will soon. I live in the city, so all I have is a small, raised strip behind my building. There will be:
tomatoes
parsley
sage
rosemary
basil

And that's about all I'll have room for. I will use the fuck out of the herbs, so it's worth having even a small garden.

Basil, romaine lettuce, spinach, cilantro/coriander, scallions, cucumber, dill, chives and a bunch of ornamental flowers.

Way to go retard, why did you plant so early?

[Anonymous No.6349784]

>>6349424
You should plant the herbs in some pots that you can move inside next fall and have a year round herb garden, and that would leave the strip available for more tomatoes or even some peppers or whatever floats your boat.

[Anonymous No.6349786]

Tomatoes, green onions, ginger, chives, lemons, pomelos, dates, avocados, goji berries, pumpkins, strawberries, and blueberries.

Don't mock me asshole, it's cuz I started too late last year and ended up with over 9000 green tomatoes and not a single GD red one.

>ginger
How long do those fucks take to actually do anything?
Had some ginger left over over the christmas holidays, and when I came home to my flat, It sprouted. so I planted it in a pot, and started to water it, and its almost doing nothing. I dont expect it to turn into a massive plant after a few weeks or so, but
>almost 4 months
>still only pic related
>is it dead?

Check out a farmers almanac, they are generally pretty accurate. Not 100% but you can use it as a good gauge. Also, stick your head out the window sometime and check the fucking skies brah

>over 9000 green tomatoes

Green tomato chutney.

[Anonymous No.6349850]

>>6349471
Fuck yeah. Tomato plants are fantastic. Grow a few varieties every year.

Also grow a whack of different herbs, plus lettuces, leeks, red russian garlic, fingerling potatoes, carrots, kabocha and blue Hubbard squashes, rhubarb, cantaloupes, johnagold apples, mirabelle plums, redcurrants, 'wild' blackberries, and raspberries. Have a little black cherry tree but it's really small yet so I haven't really gotten any cherries off it yet.

Also a shit ton of herbs I don't care to list. I planted a stevia plant, you can eat the leaves and are super sweet not sure what the fuck you're supposed to do with them though.
Summer vegetables are top tier god damn I cant wait.

[Anonymous No.6351131]

Last year I had a decent enough crop to have enough stuff canned/frozen to last me for now. Here is what I am growing this year, pic related. I am ready to get some seeds in the ground!

[Anonymous No.6351143]

I love these threads so much

I get to live vicariously through you all because my 28th floor apartment doesn't let me have a yard :(

Are you the anon that always has the excellent canning threads?

I miss that anon.

Indoor herb gardens are pretty simple mang! Just make sure it gets sunlight and water and you'll have yearlong deliciousness fresh on the plate

[Anonymous No.6351196]

>>6349385
Where do you keep your herbs indoors? I tried tbat with mint, basil, chives, and parsley but they always wilted indoors. I had them in a pretty sunny area and watered them but they still died.

I then started planting them outside and they grew too big. It was a hassle to deal with since the mint spread like a weed and so did the basil. The chives attracted animals as well.

So I rather have them in small pots indoors.

>>6351154
I doubt I am the anon you're thinking of, I only did 1 or 2 canning threads last year about tomatoes that didn't get much interest at the time. It's quite a bit of fun though really, you should look into it!

[Anonymous No.6351790]

Probably some cucumbers for pickles, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, and peppers of some sort. Plus plenty of herbs.

[Anonymous No.6351810]

i'm hoping to have 10 zucchini plants.

if all goes well, i should end up with 75-100 pounds of fruit.

all my neighbors, friends, and family members are gonna get fruit and bread.

If I didn't live in a fucking desert I'd grow my own tomatoes and carrots just to see if I'm any good at it.
