Hahhaha i know this is like a really lame way to grow stuff but ive got a shady patio all to myself n i took a trip to Rite Aid today n saw they had veggies & stuff straight comin outta pots so i wondered to myself: Can i buy these or buy some seeds like a sunflower seeds or something & start like a garden in my patio? There is no sun in my patio but im sure i can figure out a way to put them outside or somethin for a few hrs a day to get some sun like in my car or somethin. I would do it inna park or like a secluded spot with more room & soil but i live in a place where EVERYTHING is landscaped & maintained so they would yank anything out right away

Has anyone ever tried this? Any ideas or recomendations? haha

I am already familiar with sprouting i know this is a good way to get veggies indoors but i was wondering if planting them in pots inna shady patio would actually work? Are there any specific spices, herbs, veggies, fruits, etc that do not need sun or too much root room?

Thank you!!!!

PS. Any good gardening tips on how to grow stuff also if you are experienced in this would be very much appreciated
Awesome

Lavander,peppermint,theres to many to name, but all the smelly good one i know some need to be planted earlier and others need more sun got any tricks you could help me with Thanks

I’m apparently going to be staying in my apartment for another year and I want to have a "Garden" at my own home this year.

My neighbor is a jacka*s and so I can’t actually dig and have a garden in the ground.

Pots are really expensive and I don’t want to use 5 gallon buckets because they look bad so I was thinking about getting large diameter PVC/CPVC Pipes cut at different heights then blocking the bottom with some kind of plastic netting so that the soil doesn’t run out the bottom with the rain, and then planting pepper plants, herbs, etc. in them.

I think that the white of the pipes will look like Modern Art along the back fence.

The base would allow for proper drainage for the soil, would keep the heat in from the sun, but I’m wondering how much room would, say, a cherry tomato plant need?

I was thinking that I could do the tall pipes for the big plants and then a 2nd row of much smaller diameter pipes in front of those for small plants like herbs and strawberries.

What do you think?

I plan on removing a lot of pine straw and other foliage from a large area in my backyard. I am willing to turn the soil over and loosen it in this process of removing the TONS of pine straw but I don’t have a lot of time to tend a garden. I want something green to grow and I really don’t care what but I’d like it to be something other than grass. Can I randomly toss seeds out in the area and expect them to grow if I turn the soil or am I hoping for too much? I know not all seeds would be tolerant of this sort of treatment, so what plants( flowers, herbs, veggies) are pretty independent? I’m not to familiar with my yard because I’ve just moved but it gets a fair amount of sun and is fairly level i’m not sure about what the soil looks like though.

I’m planning on having a vegetable garden this year, and need to know the best place to plant so each variety gets the best sun/soil combo. I plan to make raised beds, but not sure with what material yet. Cheaper is better. The garden would include herbs, veggies, and root crops, pretty much anything I eat on a regular basis. Potatoes, peppers, onions, lettuce, corn, cucumbers, green beans, pumpkins, watermelon, etc. I have a large area to plant, but tall pine trees surrounding my yard that shade the area inconsistently. I live in Eastern WA, so the summers are super hot and the winters freezing. What crops should I plant next to each other? I heard growing the corn with the beans helps them to stabilize and reduces the need for trellis or stakes. Where should the corn and beans grow? To the North, East, South or West of the main beds? Thanks!

for a few months i have been having problems sleeping. it started when i had asthmatic bronchitis and couldnt sleep well because i would wake up in the middle of the night not being able to breathe and it kept me up late. lately i dont get tired until the sun comes out in the morning. i usually fall asleep between 7 and 8 am and dont wake up till late afternoon. i cant get anything done if im sleeping all day. if i try to go to bed earlier i just lay there for hours and hours and hours not being able to sleep. ive tried listening to relaxing music and closing my eyes and relaxing my muscles and meditation.but it hasnt helped. i am under alot of stress so thats probably part of it. im 19 and supporting myself …barely so i cant afford to go to a doctor or any prescriptions. i was wondering if anyone knows any natural sleep remedies that are inexpensive that might help. such as herbs or hot teas or anything. i just really need a normal sleep schedule again. any suggestions are appreciated. thank you.
ty again to anyone who made suggestions? and why does sleeping with a window open help? ive never heard that before.
