    What you thinking of growing? Just like ornamental stuff that looks cool or food?

    Guess it's called a Victory Garden. Want to grow some grapes, fruits and herbs. Also saw these today and wow, they're beautiful

    Ranunculus

    Ranunculus

    Interesting, I just googled "Victory Garden", wasn't familiar with the term

    Those Ranunculus look sick, just make sure you're in the right climate for them

    Thinking of growing some Juniper soon. Recently got a Chinese lantern tree but it's f***ing lonely

    What's everyone been growing?

    The only crops I grow ATM are Ginger and Tumeric but they were kinda set and forget.

    I had spring onions at one point but I had no knowledge of soil compatability before i started so only a couple were successful

    Newbie tips:

    Do your research on what you're going to grow on. If you have land available, get to know your soil, your climate zone etc. This can provide you direction in selecting plants/crops

    Start native, plants that are local to your area will most likely be a lot more hardier and tolerate your local conditions

    It looks like you just need some well drained soil and to place them in a sunny position

    Also it was the fungi/mushrooms that drew me to horticulture. I was burnt out from pure digital design, I wasn't getting any jobs during lockdown so I started looking into the whole mushrooms thing. That in itself is a whole study (mycology) but I figured I may as well get a broader understanding of cultivation so I just went with horticulture.

    I think getting a live peyote plant is pretty tough. I wouldn't even know where to start looking

    Instagram or grow from seed

    The peanuts didn’t do too good I think I overwatered them a little bit

    I only grew about 10 bell peppers and like 10 banana peppers but they tasted really good

    Awesome transition! Mycelian is earths super power. It's almost like a positive version of the venom suit. Heard it could've been used to clean up the oil spill, let alone the neurological benefits lion's mane etc have.

    That's pretty dope

    Sorry forgot to reply to this post. Did you get started on anything in the meantime?

    You don't have to necessarily start from seed and can buy ones that are already growing, I would recommend choosing something native to your area tho just because it might be easier to manage conditions

    Do you have any outdoor space or are you just planning to grow something small by the window?
