What's new

What’s a forum without a gardening thread?

@BadgeBunny Did you start your heirloom seeds yet?
Nope! The guys doing my remodel tore the hell outta my back yard replacing the sewer system. And they have walked all over the garden beds in the front where I was gonna plant this year. I'm hoping I can get a few things started in July and have a fall garden. If you'd like I'll start a thread and post pics when I start the seeds and have a running gardening thread here. It won't be any trouble -- I'm gonna resurrect my gardening thread over on survivalistboards.com also. Seems like as a mod, I ought to do SOMETHING besides give the poor fellas a hard time. 😉🤷

Second pic is my fig tree the backhoe driver leveled as he was going to my backyard to dig the trench.

Third pic is a catnip plant. That poor little guy has been stepped on so many times that I fully expect to see it bloom in the shape of a middle finger any day now. I have no idea how the poor little thing is still alive -- muchless BLOOMING! 😳

Well these did pop up after a rainstorm. I’ll try to update photo tomorrow to see what they look like.
I think you’re a bit out of range for any of the fun ones to occur naturally. Not to say weird shit doesn’t happen though. And I mean shit literally.
 
I planted a bunch of watermelon, bush beans, zucchini, cucumbers, okra, and peppers a week and a half ago. Today I have watermelon and something else bursting from the ground. I’ll get some pics tomorrow if I remember. I should start labeling things when I plant them. Also, my bitchin herb garden is killing it. Used rosemary from it 3 times this weekend, was amazing.

I say this pretty often:

“Every zoo is a petting zoo, unless you’re a little bitch.”

Likewise:

“Every mushroom is a lifetime supply of psychedelic shrooms, unless you’re a little bitch”

1.) rosemary is tits. Beef, chicken, antelope, duck… doesn’t matter. Rosemary comes to play and to please.

2.) please don’t eat every mushroom you see.
 
So, I went to the commissary on post today to get my wife her pork bones for kamja tang and stopped at the PX to look at plants. They always have a pretty good selection of high-quality stuff like trees and what not. And they had a fig tree.
So I looked up what kind of fig does well in Oklahoma and at the top of the list was a brown turkey fig, because it’s pretty hardy in the cold. And this one happened to be a brown turkey fig so I got it.
Growing up, we always had figs in southern Arizona so I figured why not see how this does. It already has a couple fruit on it

It’ll get around 10 feet tall and wide
 
Yeah, I figured about that. It’s in this pot until I find a place for it
