But prob would double as toilet even now, and then it would be nutrient for the plants 🤭

As a wheelchair user, please ensure paths are wide enough for wheelchairs, mobility scooters and pushchairs to not have plants rubbing against them. Sap is sticky, people have allergies, etc. It does look great, though.

I live in Montreal where the city has been aggressively transforming our greenspaces into this. It's amazing. Most residential streets are losing 2 parking spots to enable a garden at each end, and they're cutting into the sidewalks every 3 meters to add as many trees as possible. The green areas are filled with perennial plants and flowers that bloom from spring till winter. It's amazing here!

A majority, if not all, HOAs would fine you for this "mess of weeds". It's been happening more and more lately. Can't all of us rally together to bsn them? I love native yards. Grass is such a waste of water.

    There is a group here in the US Pacific NW that does the same thing. In the fall, they go to abandoned old farmsteads, cemeteries and the like in search of apple trees that are bearing. If they see something they don't recognize, they take a sample of fruit and leaf and compare it with descriptions in a master database. If they have indeed rediscovered an old variety, they have to go back again to the location in the dormant winter season to take a cutting (scion.) This is then grafted onto a rootstock so that the variety can be perpetuated. It's not as simple as planting the seeds since apples aren't true-to-type.

    Bored Panda got in touch with home farmer, gardener and general horticultural expert Charles Dowding to learn more about growing things. First and foremost, we wanted to hear his take on what to plant. After all, there is one school of thought that believes in purely aesthetic gardens, while others strive for “practicality.” 

    ADVERTISEMENT

    “Edible plants have their own beauty. Vegetables of different colors and structure can look good all year especially when using no dig methods. That’s because you can easily keep replanting to have a full garden, and no dig plants look healthier with glowing leaves,” he shared.

    Hope she shares them. Mass production of tomatoes for grocery stores accidentally resulted in the gene for tangy smell/flavour being bred out of most varieties. They've created GMO strains that simply have the gene reinserted from other tomatoes, but people won't accept them because they don't know how GMO works.

    Unfortunately in the city I live in this would result in a nasty-gram on your front door from code enforcement. 1st time: Warning giving you 10 days to mow, clean it up.and put on 3 month probation. 2nd: $350.00 fine that is attached to your water bill, if you don't pay they shut off your water, sewer, sanitation and give 6 month probation. 3rd: $750.00 fine, water, sewer, sanitation will be cut of if not paid and 1 year probation. After that they will condemn and give you an eviction from the property. It sounds harsh but in neighborhoods, problem residents effects everyone around them. Fleas, Ticks, Rats, Mice, Snakes and Spiders are a few of the things I've had to deal with from the houses next door. Add on pets that they do not take care of then you've doubled your problems. Neglecting your pet is enough to p**s me the f**k off, but if there are CHILDREN involved and you're putting them in an unsafe environment, Yes we are going to have a MASSIVE problem !!!

    Naturally, if you will pardon the pun, we were curious to hear his opinion on what sorts of plants are good for beginners. “Potatoes, courgette/zucchini, garlic (plant October), salad onions and salad leaves of any kind. Especially lettuce which can produce so much when you “pick and come again”, and homegrown lettuce has great flavor!”

    The shocking reality is that supermarket veg are better for the environment than home grown. Your few carrots will take bags full of compost, your own hose, your own hoes, your own wheelbarrow, etc etc etc. Unbelieveably inefficient in comparison to mass produced food. Tomatoes grown in the south of Spain, and transported to the UK, are more carbon efficient than a tomato grown in your own garden in Manchester.

    So if you are interested in learning more, Charles suggested a few resources. “If you don’t know it yet, please check out the no dig method via my website and YouTube channel. No dig saves so much time, whether you grow ornamentals or vegetables. You will notice your plants looking exuberant, fewer weeds, and more time to enjoy the garden.”

    The one thing about seed bombing is--how do you keep the plants from getting cut down before they can do anything? Every place I can find to throw seeds gets mowed regularly so the flowers would just get cut before they could even bloom.

    Charles also left us with some parting thoughts on what sort of questions to ask yourself. “Become curious! How do plants grow? New research into rhizophagy shows the importance of bacteria. How much watering is necessary? Often less! What is the best spacing? Depends partly on what you want from the plants.” If you want to see more gardening memes, check out our previous article on the topic.

    Probably because they harvest and later plow the wheat but not the lavender, so whenever there is some spreadage from the lavender ino the wheat, it gets plowed under.

    It's like printing your own money, but spending all your initial money on printing equipment, only to find out that the ink costs more than the printed money is worth. I used to grow vegetables in my garden for a while, and it was sooooo much fun and so satisfying, absolutely loved it. But it's not necessarily very cost effective. Which is totally fine if you view it as a hobby, but if you're doing it to save a lot of money, you may be disappointed.

    Hi pandas! I’d like to clarify my earlier post about the photo above. I was referring to *some* conservative Christians (that was literally my first word) and at *no* point did I say f.ex. that there’s an complete overlap between bigoted people and conservatives. I’m a religious person myself and I have many conservative friends. This is also not about Christianity- research in social psychology and related disciplines have shown the same pattern in Islam and Judaism- that there is a sub-group of hateful and bigoted people and that they are much more likely conservatives than liberals. 1/2

    2/2 There are theories that people, regardless of what their religion or, are drawn to more aggressive beliefs due to life experiences, beliefs that others around them have, and personality traits. The joke that I wrote was influenced by an online post I recently saw. A lady posted a picture of some vehicle spraying water on a street and it formed a rainbow. Her comment was something like: ‘now they are spraying homosexual mists into our homes, trying to turn our children gay.’ There are individuals that really believe nutty things like that! But I don’t want to offend anyone, and I got the point about political jokes, so I’ll keep them on the back burner for now.

    It looks like it's constructed of wood , so if you put it along the house the rainwater can soften the wood. In addition it could get between the planter and run down to the foundation of the house, which would be very bad. If you look at the style of the foundation there is a gap between the outer wall and the ground. If water were to settle underneath that area and have slow drainage, then eventually it will begin to wash out and damage the foundation. I've seen several homes, they are generally older houses, that have the same type of foundation and also developed the same problem with it eventually washing/rotting away. It takes longer on a brick home like mine on a concrete foundation which was built in 1972, my North wall is an area of concern right now, due to the issue of washing out over the years. You also have homes with a crawlspace underneath, like my Sister and 2 of my family friends that were built in the 50's.

    Those are especially susceptible due to weather and age and the type of climate you are in also plays a role. In the South there are several States that are unable to have basements and that one of the big reasons why. There are very few, actually if any homes in Oklahoma have basements because of the type of dirt that we have here. Storm Shelters or Cellars are the only real thing that you can safely put below ground because there isn't anything sitting on top of it like the weight of a house. Florida is also really high on the list as far as foundation support and cannot have basements due to the extensive amount of limestone throughout the state. Louisiana also is unable to have basements and different foundations since most of the State is under sea level and can flood easily in some places ( New Orleans, I'm looking at you ) that has been repeatedly proven due to Hurricanes and Tropical Storms.

    Passion flowers are so beautiful, and it's tragic the blooms only last for a day! However, gotta be careful where you plant them - they're considered weeds and will take over an area really quickly, like really fast! They grow on fast growing vines that'll take over your wall/fence (which may be a good thing, except when it's not!)

So when I couldn't find any at the greengrocer I ordered a packet of seeds and grew carrots in everything from purple to white, and presented them to him when he came visiting. He took them home with him. :D

    This is why one should be very careful if food shows mold. The other end of the cheese or bread might look okay, but the mold may have reached it already. To avoud wasting food, use the freezer. E.g. to store bread you won't eat within a day or two, once thawed it will look and taste the same.

    It's more common to over-water plants than under-water, especially succulents. My general rule of thumb is waiting til the soil pulls away from the sides of the pot, then water deeply. Allow it to drain completely (don't let it sit in water -wet "feet" encourage root rot) good luck!

    I wouldn't get within a metre of that creature, nevermind touching it.

    What a lovely critter! And the spikes are quite fetching.

    That's how chickens "bathe". They lie in the dirt and kick it all over their bodies, the dirt absorbs all the excess moisture and oil off their skin and feathers, then they shake it all off.

    I used to enjoy watching my hens do this. Or cold ashes from your fire pit, they love to use those too.

    What are these? I tried my ident-a-plant app, and it helpfully says "not a plant".

    It's a demo of a printing tech they're trying to promote.

    Or, hear me out, they could have done this with veggies and flowers... I don't think a grass lawn fits this post...
