    My mom had a big vegetable garden in our backyard in Katy, Texas when we were kids.

    How did I miss this? Our town is pretty much a big vegetable garden. We have all sorts growing all over the place and anybody can take what they like. Years ago somebody was growing weed in the bed in front of the police station and nobody noticed for ages.

    i wish that i could plant plants, but i hate killing things and bugs can never be killed. you need to use things to ward them off, but then again people will do anything to hurt someone's plants unless and i hope it is true people are better now. i mean who does that stuff? grown people out there stealing plants. what was i supposed to do? i wish i had actually gotten the plant that i wanted, but when the other ones bloom they make me just as happy.

    I've cultivated my own veggie garden down below if you catch my drift... Pruned to perfection!

    Hahahaha just kidding, I do seriously have a plot in my garden though. I grow broccoli, tomatoes, onions and potatoes.

    I tried to have a beer garden. I must have planted the cans to far down. Nothing ever grew.

    I use to when I was a kid. I always helped my dad in the garden. We’d pick plant the seeds and pick the beans. Now, that I’m an adult I’d love to have an herb garden.

    I grow herbs, tomatos and carrots. One of my dogs is addicted to stealing the carrots tho. She knows what she is doing is wrong 😂

      Miyagi, just treat that apple tree like a bonsai and you’ll be good. The apples will be the size of peas though.

          Japan’s all right, but you didn’t have to travel that far. I believe the largest cherry blossom display in the US is in northern NJ.

    • You need to have 2 or more apple trees in close enough proximity for pollination or else they won't bear fruit. I need to grow some pot too. I wonder if you can buy seeds online, that's my problem, no seeds plus I'd like to know exactly what I'm planting. Wow, I checked and seeds are about $10 each and up.

        • You could grow one from a cutting or just buy one for around $20 for a pretty good sized tree. To move a tree you have to dig around 1 foot out for every inch of trunk diameter, that might be a big fucking hole.

    i have had them a couple times and it was worth the effort , dont be like my dad and say you can buy them cheaper at the store. He was a lazy old fart that didnt work for his money.

    • Yeah, you can't really buy the same quality cheaper in the store. I mean, a packet of seeds is typically $1-2 or so and then factor in a bit of labor you can definitely save money by gardening and get extremely high quality produce.

      They always taste better when you've grown them yourself.

    I had an allotment garden (community garden plot) roughly the size of a tennis court, before I moved to where I am now. It was hard work at first, Weeding & general prep work. Once you had everything sown it was just a case of feeding, watering, light weeding with some thinning out. It was very rewarding to see the fruits (& veg) of your labour.

    I had an established plum tree, mint, blackberries & rhubarb bushes. I grew onions, swede, carrots, cabbage (which the wild rabbits loved), radishes & peas, loads of peas. Strawberries & tomatoes.

    Didn't preserve any, it was all used straight out of the ground when needed or when ready for harvesting.

    • Wow, that's big! I just found a peach tree on my property that I had no idea was there and I have wild blackberries. My garden is raised beds on a concrete slab. I prefer container gardening because it's way less maintenence and it maximizes space. So far my only cost was dirt and seeds, I'm using things I found laying around for the beds (tires, scrap wood, cat litter jugs, old plastic tote). I have herbs, onions, garlic, pumpkins, gourds, okra, beans, snap peas, carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers and several types of peppers. I'll be canning a lot of it.

        I know it sounds obvious but if you use a little general purpose fertilizer when they're growing & keep everything well watered you should get a nice crop. Good luck.
