starting my garden stuff from seed tonight
I went to the garden shop to get some and they didn’t have them out yet. I am sure they want you to buy seedlings. I just want to do a couple tomato plants.
the typical early girl & better boy didn’t produce for me last summer so I’m doing seeds this year just for the house not a big op
that’s a nice collection of heirloom stuff I had 2 heirloom plants my sister gave me they did the best last summer. I’ve been collecting seeds since last fall I’ve got burned sandwich slicers , American seed delicious, American seed Rutgers & a couple of repunzel climbers foe small salad tomatoes I’m hauling in soil from the San Joaquin delta islands to mix in my potting soil started some Thai peppers & some Caribbean reds as well our soil here is rocky so I’m burying buckets with the bottoms cut out for drainage
I can send you tomato seeds!

This year I’m trying something different instead of veggies I’m doing medicinal herbs.
Some neat looking plants in there.
I have some of the Echinacea and some Flax David (white and purple) but that is some collection.
Not too painful a price either.
Hmmm.

Stinging Nettles are a lfeline Medicinal Herb???
Seems to be missing opium poppy…
Yep, apparently it stops bleeding, helps hay fever, and relieves eczema among others.
you forgot menstrual cramps and constipation
Prostate problems too, I just want it for mulch
I had to buy some seeds to put in my doomsday box
will try and grow em this year
all the neighbours loved tobacco last year
see how they feel about opium lol
I moved this to a seperate topic so as not to clog up @horribleherk56 thread. There is enough here for its own topic.
I’ve never successfully grown anything outdoors, this year I’m going to try.
And who could forget such things?

Good call @ReikoX.
Tried to do straw bales last year for veggies. One worked better than the other three, then a critter shredded it up really well looking for grubs. Got a couple melons and a few green beans to take off.
Hesitant to start anything right now since we might be moving? Makes my thumb hurt thinking about it.
I think I want to build a raised bed around my tree with retaining blocks like what @99PerCent did with his compost pile.
The front yard I’ve been landscaping slowly with native desert plant. Last fall I collected lots of wild grass seeds and bushes for planting this year. Having a lawn in the desert is not very practical.
Soaking some herb seeds in Ful-power. Boy are they tiny compared to cannabis seeds.
