Oh how I pity the non-gardeners.

And us for having to try and explain it to em.

How many other people live with someone who couldn't care less about a living laboratory like a garden? .. I've tried explaining the err high-lights and/or key events as they happen but after about the sixth shrug, I just stopped bothering.
 
The idea is to get them when they are stressed to the max, then get them to relax in the garden, a nice doobie and a glass of something nice....it won't belong before you can't get them outta your place, perhaps it's just as well it's YOUR laboratory, garden place...?
 
Lol thank god for RIU though I get to come here and be immersed in gardening....much better than "I know I know thats all you talk about is your plants" then the ever popular "what kind is this?" Fuuuuuuckin-A if its all I talk about then why don't you know what kind of produce that is at least? I mean I don't expect you to know the PAR rating of my lights or the PH of my water or what microbes are in my soil, even though I talk about that too but dayum lol

Dribbles...NICE THREAD!
 
"why are you spending so much time looking at that forum".
Because these are the only people that have any respect for or clue about the worthwhile and rewarding endeavor I have chosen to undertake.
Then complains the herb is smoking too harsh and we are running a bit low, when we are 2 weeks from harvest...
At least let me have the 30-60 minutes a day it takes to make sure the ladies are healthy... in peace

Edit: Just realized this is my 420th post! :joint:
 
Thing they don't get is that - and I've noticed this - take today for instance, I have to continue potting-up the tomatoes into 40-50L pots I got the other day for them, and although I'll probably not even do all three remaining tomatoes today, (takes a while to mix up each pot, since I have to mix about six buckets to fill each pot) I'll still end up out there all day somehow.

I've noticed lately that I can go outside to do one simple thing, and I get sortta "stuck" out there.. The sun, the rain, the breeze, the bees, the plants, it's just nice hangin out with the plants AND their micro-system critters, so I'll be out there just potteri g around for six hours and not even realize I've not done a great deal in that time, except have coffee breaks and watch th bugs and plants 8)

Technically, I'm "gardening", but really, it's just a half-a-day-long coffee break.

I just gotta get myself a woman who's into gardening too cos this one doesn't even think that caring for plants gives any improvment in results, over just tipping water on em when you remember.
 
I'm jealous, I wish I had a bigger yard and the ability to grow anything at this time of year. When the weather is nice I sometimes spend 3+ hours a day tending to and potting up peppers, tomatoes, herbs etc. I tend to attract women with brown thumbs and little appreciation for gardening so I hear you there.

A six hour coffee break in a garden with some nice weather and J sounds like a perfect day. Peace :bigjoint:
 
I see no point in a garden if you're not gonna grow in it. Was awesome to pull some parsnips outta the ground and be eating them a few hours later with the Christmas turkey :-). This year we made grape jelly for the first time. Bushes have just started to fruit, and there are slightly more than we anticipated, probably about 300 bunches.
 
Yeah I find the planning & doing is the most difficult part. Course, I don't mean layout or design, but planning how many to plant of what and when. Thos is the first year really that I've bothered to start staggering my germinations, till now I've just tossed half a dozen <insert random food plant here> seeds in pots and sus-out how well they grow here.

Once you know what grows well and what doesn't, the whole thing becomes a whole lot easier since you're no longer wasting time, effort and space on plants that don't give you anything.

Bit yeah, not only is it *always* better than supermarket garbage, you always know how much you have, and how much longer your plants will be giving you produce for.

Nothing as good as a lettuce/tomato sandwich on fresh bread, not only with properly sun-ripened filling, but sun-warmed when you pick em. Love it I do.

Wish I could change the title: "Oh how I pity those Cannabis-only "growers" .. with their millions of posts and journals for what is one of the easiest plants on earth to grow.

One of the houses down the street has a lovely red grape vine hangs out over the sidewalk, and every year when it fruits I stop and pig-out on it for a good 15-20mins anytime I walk my dog. This year though, birds are beating me to it. Makes me wanna knock on their door and ask if I can stick a net over the vine, and give it a good pot/pho/molasses feeding before it starts fruiting. ;)
 
"I'm so sick of hearing about plants"......hours later....."so where is the key to the produce cabinet?".........priceless.....good thing you're cute fuuuuuuuuuck
