I tried potatoes in 5 gal pots this year. It was super easy. There are plenty of good how to videos online. Basically plant the sprouting potato and cover it with a couple inches of soil then once you see green bury it with more soil and keep burying and repeating until you fill the pot with soil. After that you just let it grow and once the plant yellows and dies at the end of the season your potatoes should be ready to go.

Outdoor my daughter and her fiance usually does that stuff. They will be doing garlic, rasberries, pumpkins, potatoes, scallions, tons of marigolds, broccolini, and bell peppers.

Tobacco and Sunflowers lol

I was thinking of buying another 2x2 flood table .Make a frame and use it for my patio salad bowl garden.
Spicey salad mix,radishes,scallions,
Better for weed control,plus i dont have to bend my fat ass over out in the garden.

I ordered a KeyLime and Lemon plant from my local garden shop, only downside is the time I will spend cleaning and checking for bugs before entering my room. Why not grow something else with ample light throw from reflectors.

night time jasmine and day time jasmine so far. Im tyring to get enough non-weed smelling pants to over power my yard.

I agree with the weed control part. I some times find a garden looks nicer then a lawn.

Personally I hate lawns. They are a waste of time, energy, money resources, and space. They may look nice and uniform, but that is probably the only upside. They are so stupid and I don't think they serve any useful purpose

I agree. I took out some of my lawn and put in a nice stone walk way in.

I'm considering replanting mine with some sort of a ground cover herb like a thyme or a chamomile then planting some useful flowering shrubs dispersed around it

Definitely infesting my yard with Calendula flowers wherever possible too this year. I used the dried petals to make an awesome lipbalm this year. My friends and family are loving it. I only wish I could have made more. Hence why I need more of the flowers next year.

backyard:

4-6 types of potatoes, favoring yukon gold. grown in bins to make the harvest easier.
herb garden behind that. thyme, basil, oregano, chives, mint, rosemary, and whatever else the wife wants.
6-8 tomato plants (11 was too many)
2-3 pepper plants
50 sq ft of strawberries
600 sq ft of corn, early and late varieties
two solid 75 foot rows of about 100-125 sunflowers each
sugar snap peas and pole beans planted right under a chainlink fence. they trellis up the fence and it's a wall of green by august.
pumpkins
watermelon
zucchini squash
cucumbers
any other squash or gourds the wife wants
sweet walla walla onions
iceberg and romaine lettuce, radishes early, harvest it and lay down some beets, cauliflower and broccoli for late season
blueberries
carrots, favoring the different color ones

front yard:

lots of flowers.

i tried wildflowers last year and they did well. i love shasta daisies and black eyed susans, those are gonna overwinter. i love the way iberis flowers in the spring, so gonna plant more of that. gonna get them all in the ground before the rains stop this spring and just cover the place in 'em. i'm even gonna till out a little more space and hope the landlord won't notice (or will notice that i covered his yard in a beautiful spread of perrenials and give us a break on the move out). i might even just cover the sides of the house with seed too and see if they root into the stones.

the most awesome part is that i will not get to see the fruits of my labor at all, we'll probably be moved out by july. well, i'll probably have some radishes by then and maybe some taters and walla wallas, but not much else.

8 tomato varieties, 6 peppers including ghosts, bush beans, cucumbers , carrots, onions, orange flesh watermelons, any kind of herb you could want. Plus I have all my perennial fruits. And also exotic fruits that come inside every year.
