What’s a forum without a gardening thread?

[WhoIsItRlly]

Well, let’s talk gardens. Last year I did the usual staples, tomatoes, peppers, squash, corn, some pole beans and some flowers cause well, they look nice.

I feel like my flowers did well, but the peppers, squash, and corn did terrible. Most didn’t sprout. I feel like I’ve been doing everything right, maybe I got a bunch of bad seeds.

Any suggestions on where to get seeds? How long do you store them? I usually keep seeds for a year or two if I don’t use all of them that season, but that’s it. I think this year I’m gonna add some cucumbers, cabbage and broccoli to my garden. Also gonna try my hand at pickling. Maybe do pickles and kimchi. Both should do well for adding to my fridge and my food stores.

What are you planting in your garden this year?

I’ll probably just do my tomatoes again. Might try to save some seeds from this Aldi zucchini I have on the counter and plant a squash this year.

He won’t have a say this year since I can’t afford to see him. Maybe if someone bought my sword I could go see him.

Well, let me share what I know about gardening.

@BadgeBunny is a mod on a prepper forum and has quite the green thump from what I have heard. I could use some pointers on where to find seeds myself.

How to Pollinate Tomatoes by Hand & When to Do It

If you want your tomato plants to grow big, healthy fruits, hand-pollinating the flowers ensures you'll get an abundant crop. Tomatoes are self-pollinating, meaning the male and female parts grow in the same flower, but they sometimes need...

Only thing alive in the greenhouse Dutch bucket is the Kale plant.

Gonna start tomatoes and peppers inside here before long.
Three foot light, made a stand out of PVC the light hangs on.
Got a heat pad from Walgreen's to go under my tray of plants.
Keep the heat on, water daily, adjust light so it's right over, almost touching plants. (this is very important!)

I started building a 5 gallon bucket raised bed today. It’s going to look a little bit like this:

Same here. It's warm enough in the shop. The led lights are an absolute starter so I'm told. I touch anything green it dies.

This is probably the best my garden will look for the rest of the year.
