- need to fig out how to put my watch in swim mode
- upper / upper+mid back was fatigued by the end

cool vid on starting w/ seedlings (seeds).

she puts cinnamon on it to keeps gnats away heh. cool.

then use styrofoam cups. i need to do some simple vertical setup w/ cups (plastic or styrofoam etc). try to fig out how to do this as cheap as possible, but also produce alot of food.

nice (florida specific) growing info on their site too!

Im growing hot peppers at my balcony, many different breeds. This year i added cherry-tomatoes. All in pots, if you learn the basics its super easy.

awesome. how many variations do you have? also how often do they produce peppers?

i'm most interested in peppers, i eat them with every meal hah.

I see yet another adarq-skwad forming. Or should i say farming? 

 

jajaja. i like it. sounds like you should lead this farm squad..

i might get a few things this weekend!

my brother has a plot in a community garden near his place in connecticut. he brought down some of his hot peppers to the beach this week and we've been throwing them in different stuff, for example his gf made mango salsa with jalapeño yesterday that is good as hell.

awesome! that salsa you mentioned is making me hungry af. could crush some blue corn chips in some spicy mango salsa right now.

my boss has done that a few times and i'm always impressed by the quality of the home grown veggies. really makes you want to get into it. his mom once brought down some hot peppers and i crushed a ton of them with crackers and cheese, was so good. i remember it well because they were so good.

reminds me of what you just mentioned.

something my gf and i have been talking about doing in the UK. even if we don't have enough space in our place (likely), we could join a community garden. very good plan.

pretty cool man.

you look around yet? some good ones near by?

ironically, i checked one out today. Boca Raton Community Garden has a decent sized lot, but surprised that there's not more growing there. I think Coral Springs had a smaller lot with much more growing there. Lots of plant hippies in coral springs, it's cool.

i might get some simple stuff this weekend just to get started

pc!

i might get into some "urban farming". been thinking about it for a while. and i'm enjoying this yard work etc.

with my OCD, could potentially grow a ton of stuff at this house. i have alot of fencing, could setup vertical pots along the fences and grow like 1000 veggie plants/herbs/etc........... HEH. plus it'd be portable for when i eventually move.

would be cool to grow some of my own food. or even give it to people etc.

i imagine there's ALOT to learn.

i'm in a good climate for it tho.. can grow alot in SFL.

there's some house in a community across from mine, with a very small back yard, but tons of vegetable/fruit plants etc. yard is just packed. looks really cool. i wouldn't do that because i need lots of space for my dogs to run around .. but along the fences, tons of unused space. could grow so much there.

 

same dude who made the videos above. lots of cool vids on his channel.
