Grow Your Own Veg
 

well basically as I live in the country and there is nothing to do, like literal nothing i have evolved in to a 80 year old man with alzhiemers and started growing vegetables looooooool.

and its not that bad, and I think more people should do it. its a good way to get fit, keeps you outside, gets you in 'touch' with nature, and gives you a sense of achievement.

I did it last summer to, so I am still learning, but I know abit now. you dont need much space, you can even grow stuff in pots.

please keep your 'omgzzz skank why bother' posts away; who cares about freedom of speech, I want posts which dont make me feel retarded.

also, its a great thing for people like pinkmichk to do with her kids, and something

for us all to do

in this new labour depression.

life in the country.

omgzzz skank why bother

i knew as i typed that someone would say that.

now i am in the closet about two things; that and thos :bawling::bawling:

lol i remember i had to grow some potatoes when i was like 7 for school, and they turned out totaly mongified :laugh:

lmao- we attempted pea plants in like year 5 to monitor the growth or something and mine died after about 3 days, and so did some other flower we had to grow. it grew a leaf them shrivelled up :laugh2:

haha i remember in primary school we had to do that with nasturniums, and move them from the fridge to a light place to a dark place etc.

I forgot mine and left it in a box for like a week or two. It died. :bawling:

^ LMAO

I have an allotment :whistle:

We are having a go at growing tomatoes on the window sill in the kitchen. God knows what they are going to turn out like?

I` ve just got an alotment.
Well,its not mine,its my dads

Thats how I started with tomatoes.
It should be ok, have you grew them from seed or bought them as plants?

I used to do that when I was younger but I am too cool to do it now

Oh wow, I kind of have one now as I turned the wasteland full of nettles and stuff in to my own big patch lol.

What do you grow?

**** you.

I have 3 types of carrots on the go, rainbow, and early's and purple ones. In-between them I have snowball onions as the carrot fly hate onions and onion fly hate carrots.

Mangetout and runner beans, 2 types of tomatoes, sweetcorn and baby sweetcorn, pumpkins, butternut squash and courgetes.

Oh and potatoes

so long as its a sunny window and you pinch them out they will do well

Ohhh cool.
I am doing Strawberries, Rhubarb and Pumpkins in the odd bit.
Then Runner and Broad beans and peas.
Oninions, Spring Onions, Leeks, Beetroot and Carrots.
Cabbage, Cauliflower and Broccoli.
& Potatoes Tomatoes, Cucumbers and Courgettes.
And some herbs lol.

I have just built a herb garden at home.... it looks lovely

Ohh how did you build it and what have you planted/sown?
I want to start herbs but am stuck for ideas... I only have basil and Chives (Some C thing) atm.

And have you got any Composting tips? And ways to keep off caterpillars which ruined our lettuce and cabbage last year :nono:

Oh, and ATM every Friday night (Available on iPlayer) on Gardeners World (LOL I'm so sad) they are growing vegetables, and you could get free seeds. (All seeds gone now :()

But its a great thing for people to do, especially pinkmichk and people, as its good for kids and save money I guess.

Kiz we should start a TiBB garden club lol, and keep us updated on how our stuff is growing; and help each other out.

Tip to get rid of snails.

Poor boiling water on them.

But it kills them. :sad:

ohh thanks Harry, must be quite horrible but I suppose it may come in usefull some day!

The snails turn green.

Cant you put salt around plants to keep away 'nasties' like snails ?

Ooh really, have you done some gardening before?

Are Marijuana plantations included ? :bigsmile:
