What's the first rule of gardening? The heat is subsiding so I don't think anything will die within a day of being planted, but I'd still like to know regardless. I've never grown anything before, at least not seriously; I've heard that homegrown vegetables are better than the junk bought at supermarkets because you don't have to worry about ( Read more... )

Are you making a piglet for dinner?

[video] spawnedbywar August 29 2010, 23:38:06 UTC

Not for tonight, no. We have to fatten him up first.

[video] heartdissonance August 29 2010, 23:40:26 UTC

Fine, I'll be patient.

If you're that hungry, I could use some leftover frozen pork to make a stew or porkchops.

Alternatively, eat a hotdog.

YOU RANG? [voice] tokissity August 29 2010, 23:24:53 UTC

[You had Ivy at "gardening".]

Naturally, homegrown vegetables are better than the genetically modified ones sold commercially, when it comes to consumption. But from the sounds of it, you're not really sure of what to grow. What is it that you're interested in?

[he can even tell just by her voice that she's beautiful. must be his lucky day.]

Basically. Someone told me that it's better to start planting in the spring rather than the end of summer, but anything I would've put in the ground would have died anyway with this heatwave. If I can't grow anything to eat, I'd settle just as fine for flowers.

It's true that you're better off growing vegetables in the spring, but there's still some you can grow in the fall. In this planting zone, you could probably get away with planting beans, salad blends, onions, and turnips.

If you just want flowers though, pansies, asters, and chrysanthemums are best planted during this season.

There's enough room for an equal blend of both, so I guess I'll try those; nothing wrong with a big garden. You sound like you know what you're talking about.

Hah, I'm not going to school!

spawnedbywar August 31 2010, 10:09:14 UTC

That's your prerogative. Any particular reason why, though?

madeinoblivion August 31 2010, 17:14:56 UTC

Two jobs. Enough stuff to do. School's boring anyway.

spawnedbywar August 31 2010, 17:45:24 UTC

[sounds impressed] Two jobs? Aren't you an overachiever.

Not that it matters much if you find it boring, but employers like a good education. You could at lease get a better job so you won't have to balance two.

First rule: get a proper gardener before you kill anything.

[ ...good Lord, why was he replying? ]

[ Voice; Private ] spawnedbywar August 31 2010, 10:08:02 UTC

[wait, what]

Good advice if this, you know, had anything to do with murder. We're on the same wavelength, right?

[ ...

He lets out a sigh. ]

Idiot. Before you kill any plants.

[ Voice; Private ] spawnedbywar September 2 2010, 06:39:56 UTC

You should h-- hey! Just because I'm new at this doesn't mean I'm destined to kill everything I plant. It can't be THAT hard.

[HOBBYIST/GARDENER/GREEN-THUMB PERSON HERE]

Well, that depends! What do you want to plant?

spawnedbywar August 31 2010, 10:22:54 UTC

Someone told me that chrysanthemums, pansies and asters are the best flowers to plant right now, so I guess I'll try those. No reason to get in over my head just yet.
