What are you planting this year? 👀

My baby plants.. I think 5 different tomato varieties, a baby cucumber, a couple of red peppers(skipped the hot this year b/c I wasn’t using them so much last year), basil, oregano, parsley, mint, chocolate mint, rosemary, lavender, marigolds everywhere, humming bird flowers I think it is that my neighbor gave me seeds for 🤔 and I think that’s it besides my front garden of regular plants in the ground.

the usual; potatoes, tomatoes, corn, beans, squash, peppers, lettuce, pumpkins, watermelon, etc.

tried doing various herbs, but all died 'cept the rosemary

@wildbill83 I wish I could do watermelon. I attempted it out from in the ground but like any other edible thing, it died fast there. I pot all the edibles. I keep mine in the same places every year cause I’m afraid they’ll die elsewhere 😅 I think I get way too much sun for cilantro or it just hates me and my neighbors too.

@MellyMel22 planters work best for watermelon, and they need a lot of nutrients

most people who have trouble with watermelon, do so because they plant too early (ground too cold) and/or plant too close to other things

@wildbill83 Well the ground here is horrible with roots. It took me years to get a decent amount of plants in the ground given the roots I had to torture myself trying to get rid of 🤣 Here’s the other side of my front which my neighbor asked me to do for her and I said oh hell no, I’m sorry, not doing that again. This doesn’t show what’s underground either 😳

@OceanRoses That’s a good idea, but there isn’t a great amount of sun in front too. I put my cucumber plant out there in one spot that I think it’s the most sun, but if I don’t see a change shortly I’ll bring it back to my patio and crowded some more. The problem is it doesn’t look so crowded because they haven’t grown yet, once my plants grow it looks like a forest my neighbors come looking like they’re there just for scenery 🤣 I caught an older woman taking pictures of all my plants last year I thought she was trying to get me fined and I came out and I was like are you taking pictures of my patio and she’s said it’s your plants they’re so beautiful I wanted to show my friend that I told about them. Then I felt bad 😅
