i just have some indoor trees and a vine im tryna grow big.
A Yucca tree and something else. My little tree was starting to die so I repotted it yesterday in a bigger pot. I noticed the roots were looking a little tight in it's starter pot so hopefully it has more room to breath now.
bro everything is blooming and its got me so happy
my grapevine is flourishing. imma let dude grow real good this season and not allow any grapes to produce tho I want that mfer to just grow UP and STRONG. next growing season I'll let some grapes happen
my usual patch of sunflowers is popping up too, hoping I can get an even taller one than last year (dude was 12 ft!)
think imma give the classic 'three sisters' thing a shot in my bigger raised bed. I want corn man!
I been slacking living life and s***
That being said my African marigolds got massive, but flooding rains knocked 1/3 of it down
I've stuck to mainly buying native plants so I don't have to worry about them as much lol
Been harvesting some radishes to use in salad lately. Corn, squash, and tomatoes coming up nice, have like 100 sunflowers going too lmao. Also just put up the mosquito netting and lighting in our front veranda so the vibes is immaculate.
I'd love to do some gardening once I retire. Living off-grid with my dog, out and about.

I would recommend just thinking about what you want to do with your garden first
Do you want to just make it look pretty or do you wanna grow crops?
Most things are youtube-able or you can google it. IMO best thing to do is just pick a few young native ornamental shrubs (just google your local council area name + "native plants"). Learn how to put them into the dirt, the basics on soil, watering and sunlight etc. Once they get a little bigger you can prune for the first time and even take cuttings to grow multiples of the shrubs.
Obviously you don't have to restrict yourself to that. While the shrubs get established you can pick a few seeds for vegetables to grow and see how that process plays out :)
My garden went neglected for months... I just waged war on all the weeds that took over I know they'll be back though
My ginger and tumeric that I buried got so f***ing big but the leaves are dying now, they're all yellow. Aloe vera is doing fine. Chinese lanterns need to be pruned. The rest got suffocated by weeds or died from neglect so I'm basically starting anew.
Making a perfume/fragrant garden, tbh not so sure about the soil type and all that so some might die
