2011 Veggies

DST said:

Thanks McP, nice one on the house trees. I got a small tree inside my house that was given to me 11 years ago when I moved to Amsterdam. Thanks for the veg tips, think I'll try some potatoes. are there any particular varieties that work better in colder temps?
Walla walla onoins sound interesting, never heard of them before.

when i get the trees i will take a pic and see if you guys can help ID them for me.
and i dont know if certain taters work better or not, they dont grow much in the winter but they do some, if done right they should be ready to harvest about a month after spring and then you can replant again for a fall harvest. and walla wallas are a sweet onion, not good for storing but they are great to use fresh out the garden and they taste so good to.

also another one you can ty id peas if it stays warm enough in your GH

right on!
i just scored/rescued a 3 yr old acer too.... my neighbour paid $170 + tax for a similar one this spring. soooo stoked.

Some toms from the garden. Still got a few left on the plants but I doubt any new growth will be coming in. Think I am going to try some late tatties.

Question. If I have a potatoe that has rooted, say on either side of the potatoe, would it be possible to chop that in half and grow each half seperately? Anyone know?

PEace, DST

probably yes but lets see what the pros have to say hehe

btw pics or it didnt happen D lol

hey heres a question to ask some gardeners, I love gardening, but havent done it since a kid really. . . Well vegetables at least, lol. Anyway im growing some *uh hem* herb using A hps, what would you say to throwing a tomato plant next to it, and perhaps strawberrys? I guess the real question is, What vegetabls/ Herbs would be good to grow in an indoor enviroment similiar to that in which is used to grow mj????? Apartment living can be soo limited sometimes. :/

Just about every kind of play can be grown indoors with the same environment as mj plants.

That's the great thing about indoor growing, you are god! create that environment and grow what you like. I have seen, Basil, Strawberries, Chilles, all sorts in peoples indoors. What would you like to grow is the question? I think strawberries are probably a good one as they are fairly small plants. Any type of herb will explode in a grow tent. Good luck with it and keep us posted on what you decide to do.

Peace, DST

Looks delish D Blasted round red tomatoes lol

I kept wishing them into funny shapes but they where having not of it, lol.

My wifes Aunt and Uncle where up from Jo-burg staying with us, they are like the rich Aunt and Uncle of the family, lol. But they were telling us when they first met they had a house outside town and grew tomatoes. They would invite friends round for dinner and wine and they would all pick the toms. they had so many they actually started supplying the local Supermarkets, lol. I bet you couldn't go to a local supermarket and sell them stuff now, it's all Supply Chain Management madness these days.

Here is a non vegetable example of how mad our world is getting. A guy I know works for a large American company that has over 20,000 employees. If he wants a new powercord for his laptop he has to phone up the office in India and put an order in. That is processed and then the office in Eastern Europe will provide him with a PO number for his order. Now that he has the PO number he can confirm this with Headoffice and that then get signed off and the order is sent to the warehouse in another country in Eastern Europe to ship the 15 buck power cord out. That whole process just cost over a thousand bucks, lmfao. Thats how our world works. Rant over.

nice video whodat. i posted something about aqauponics in the 600 awhile ago but no one seemed interested for some reason.
this video shows a great sustainable farm or some what of a farm.

I am taking down my garden today so i can move the dirt and block to my new house before the cold and rain comes in for the rest of the year. plus it is dying out since i moved cuz it gets low water from lazy people, and i dont come into town but 1-2 times a week.
i also dont have interent at my new place but will soon i hope and then i will be on more again.

also my indoor winter med grow is looking more hopefull as well

The tomatoes blew up after giving them a tea.

are they dwarf toms? and the cilantro ( if thats what it is) looks like it is doing well also. i just collected about 20 seeds of cilantro from my plant for next year

Celebrity and big boy, and yes that's cilantro.

threw some cherry tomatoe seeds into some cups to germ. and wouldnt you know it all my cups are sprouting! OH THE JOY! lol. 70-90days im looking at plucking some (hopefully) delicious fruit off my plantas.

Hey McPurle. I was bored and I wanted some tea so I made some tea but I used some Lemon Basil because I was craving lemon tea and it turned out pretty good. Sadly needed a bit of sugar to bring out the taste of it.
