| Anyone do any gardening? I have a small collection of herbs. Not weed, haha, haven't grown that in years. But I mean rosemary, lavender, mint, lemon verbena, etc. I also have a small collection of orchids. I realize this is probably out of the blue, probably not the typical demographic for this. When you think of gardening, you think of old ladies with nothing better to do. I guess I have diverse hobbies though. What have you grown? |

| ! I love it! Aaah, my room's currently filled with little pots of cacti and succulents. I also have some flowers but I don't know the name of them, but they came from a mix seed pack(?). Really pretty to look at though, with all the colors. |
 |
| I never had a garden I'd like one in the future though :o |

| No garden myself but I do enjoy planting and stuff. I'm currently growing some anemones. As a kid I grew some strawberries but the birds always ate it ;_; Oh well, as long as they're happy. |

| we only have a mango tree and calamansi on our backyard |
| I have not particularly grown anything myself but id probably like a flower and herbs garden. |
| cant do any gardening all year round due to changing of seasons, but i take care of my evergreen my friend got it for me, i was really happy |
| save all the cute girls from ntr manga |
| I don't but my dad loves to grow fruit and vegetables. They always grow all disfigured for some reason, like grow in abnormal shapes, but they still taste fine I guess. Once my dad grew rocket, but when he picked them they just looked like weeds, and tasted like weeds. Why did my dad give it to us to eat. ;_; |
| Hmmm. My grandfather back in Asia used to do gardening and every now and then he'd use the vegetables to cook soup for all of us. I also remember growing mongo seeds and it was a nice pet project. j0x said: we only have a mango tree and calamansi on our backyard ^ reminds me of the malunggay trees as well >_> |
 |
| I don't have a mango tree, but I have a guava, several pomegranates, bell apples, avocado, orange, dates. Most of these were planted by the previous owner, I'm more interested in herbs and shrubs. |

| I love orchids and own many of them. They're beautiful, long-living and need little care. |

| Don't really have a backyard anymore. Parents kinda put cement over most of the backyard so we didn't have to maintain all the shrubbery and what not. We use to grow peppers and tomatoes out back. We still have a pear tree though |

I'm a Dendrobium addict, they're by far my favourites! Though I also own many Phalaenopsis hybrids because people tend to gift them to you when they hear you like orchids. Kinda scared to get the more difficult ones, so far they never survived. I once brought some rare ones home from Florida, I guess the Florida->Germany change didnt serve them well. |

ViolettSky said: I love Dendrobium as well, especially miniatures. They're interesting/diverse to look at, and relatively care free. Sure, there are different types, they say, but in my experience, consistent lighting and watering makes them happy, if not ideal. The only one I couldn't get to grow is Dendrobium victoria-reginae (sp?), which has striking blue flowers, but is apparently much more demanding on water (and probably water hardness and ph).katsucats said: I'm a Dendrobium addict, they're by far my favourites!

| My grandpa and my dad have pretty big gardens. I had to water them with a bucket the other day. The field was about about 15 yards wide by 40 yards long. |
 |
| My real thoughts: It's a cute hobby, I guess. Cute enough to offset OP's conceit and bad temper. ^_^ |
|
| Yea, here: |
| Today they say you're crazy, tomorrow they will say you're a genious. |
| I thought we were gonna talk about a different kind of garden. |
 |
| If I were to start gardening, the type of plants I'd have are castor beans, hemlock, indian licorice, etc. and attempt to combine them a la the 40 fruit tree |

cause said: I've been told that watching a kid grow up is even more magical. </Disney Moment>I used to grow tomatoes as a kid in my backyard. It's actually astounding to watch plants grow from a small seed. Almost magical when you're that small and new to the world. No, I don't have much of a hand for gardening. So I save the plants the misery of being subjected to my frequent forgetfulness. :) |
Cottonrabbit said: Awesome. I've tried tomatoes too and find that I don't have the effort to nurture annuals. My potato run turned out some little pebbles. Won't do it again unless I have more space, and maybe an automatic watering system.I have a small culinary herb garden (parsley, chives, basil, sage, thyme, oregano, rosemary etc) and a lemon tree. I also try lettuce, tomatoes and strawberries fairly regularly. |

| I used to have pitcher plants and sundew as a child to get rid of wasps and hornets (although they got a few spiders as well as I seen one of the pitcher plants having a dead black widow in it). |

Cottonrabbit said: Yeah, I'm not sure how well the splicing would go though. I'd need to find plants where the stem and branch portion don't have toxins for a start.OnlyTemporary said: If I were to start gardening, the type of plants I'd have are castor beans, hemlock, indian licorice, etc. and attempt to combine them a la the 40 fruit tree That is very cool. |

| I move around too much and don't have a lot of time for gardening... I like plants, and gardens, of course. My grandparents have a massive garden, and grow many flowers and fruits and vegetables and herbs. From tomatoes to bananas to alpine white strawberries. Sometimes I've bought seeds and plants as gifts for them and my mother, although she doesn't grow so much. It always looks satisfying, but I don't think I'd ever get too into it. I grew sunflowers as a kid, a tree at school, and some mushrooms as a (younger) teenager (in a box in my closet though, lol). |

| Of course. Peaches, limes, chili peppers, aloe vera, papaya, melons, and watermelons. |

Cottonrabbit said: I tried that, but I guess my 5 gallon buckets weren't big enough. That, and they require a ton of nutrients to get to commercial size.However I was reading that apparently you should grow them in a sack. Start with the soil level pretty low and then add soil as the plant grows, raising the soil level. When it is ready, you just cut the sack open and pull out all the potatoes. This is on my "gonna do" list (although things can sit on my gonna do list for months or even years :D). |

| I help my mom plant a garden every year we grow things like tomatoes, corn, green beans, cucumbers, summer and winter squash, zucchini, watermelons, broccoli, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, tried carrots a couple of times they never came up, potatoes, chives, peppers, jalapenos, lettuce etc. We don't plant everything each year but these are just some of things we have grown throughout the years. edit: Some things we grow from seeds others we buy from the market partially grown |

| Anything I try to grow dies. With the exception of an apple tree, but someone else looked after it so it doesn't really count. I mostly tried out flowers or herbs but it didn't really matter what I did for them. Even the plants they say require minimal care never work out. |
