I got hungry just by looking at everything. I want to make a Mexican style salad.
We asked Charles Dowding what he would recommend to a first-time gardener who was nervous to begin. “Start small, say one bed of 1.2 x 2.4m. Adopt the no-dig approach: It's simple and easy, based on two things. One, the soil is undisturbed, allowing its organisms to work and multiply. You build on top of the existing network of life. And also it’s fine to dig a hole to plant a tree, or when harvesting potatoes!”
“Two, feed soil inhabitants with organic matter on the surface, from where they take it down. This aerates the soil and sets up a larder of nutrients for plant roots.” Charles is an advocate for leaving the soil ecosystem intact when gardening, as it’s more sustainable and can save you a lot of work. Let’s face it, digging is not a particularly fun activity unless you happen to be a mole.

Very smart, but give the crows some shiny things to make up for pecking on rocks. It doesn't have to be expensive like a short string of polished beads or metal bits from things going to recycling. They love that and they will take their finds to their next where they keep their collection. The crows might even figure out that the metal is good while strawberries are bad.
We also wanted to know what misconceptions Charles has run into when educating and training other gardeners. “It's easier than often claimed. You don't need to dig, you don't need to practice a rotation, you don't need to feed or fertilize your plants unless in containers, you can walk on your beds if you need to, and you have plenty of scope to be creative.” He recommends using free, online resources like YouTube to learn more.

Wow, that's tremendous! I see canned spaghetti sauce, canned tomato sauce and fresh salsa in the future there.
“When starting out, weeds can be tamed easily with surface covers such as cardboard in particular. Soil that is firm is not compacted, and plants like rooting into firm soil. You can plant into straight compost, Plants then root down into the soil below,” he added, giving some more specific examples of how a novice gardener could start and what not to be afraid of. In general, fear of gardening is a bit irrational, it's not like the dead plants will take revenge.

How does gardening help? Because you're never finished, so you get up to do a bit more every day. Because you wait for the seeds to come up, for the plants to develop buds, for flowers or fruit. You look to the future in your garden, not just to the past. And there is something soothing about that.

Load More Replies...
AnkleByter 2 years ago (edited)
It does, which is why it's not commonly eaten like corn on the cob or even fresh/cooked after being cut off the cob the way typical corn is. Mostly it's used as an ornamental or for things like cornmeal after being dried. It's not as sweet or "corny" as most corns you'll find, but it's also not bad, necessarily. It just doesn't have that same "POP, now that's good corn" taste, lol. It also doesn't really have that crunch.

Lastly, we wanted him to expand upon what resources a beginner could use to develop their skills. Firstly, he recommended his book, as well as guides he put together to help keep track of planting times and other seasonal effects. Note that much of the information is geared toward the UK. Lastly, he encouraged an attitude of curiosity and to be constantly asking questions. “How do plants grow? (new research into rhizophagy shows the importance of bacteria). How much watering is necessary? (often less). What is the best spacing? (depends partly on what you want from the plants).”

Watch it be like 10x spicier than a bigger pepper/ Maybe that's all you need? ;)
As previously mentioned, no dig could be a great way to start gardening if you happen to be in an area that is relatively fertile. While it has numerous environmental benefits, the main advantage for the novice gardener is that it does not require nearly as much physical work. Who wants to pull a muscle digging holes all day just to see a crop die? Perhaps that sounds pessimistic, but like cooking or pottery, you need to accept that the first few attempts might not work out. If you're feeling inspired, feel free to check out our other gardening article here.

You can actually move it if you want to. Just get some unwaxed dental floss. You should see w sort of web of silk at the top where it is attached to the handle. Gently remove the chrysalis and take the floss and tie it around the stub at the top then tie it somewhere safe where the monarch can eclose. I raised monarchs last winter season (but am by no means an expert) and did this with mine and ended up releasing close to 70 butterflies.

This needs more upvotes! Although keep the lemon tree away from the cat because it might be dangerous for it
We also reached out to Katrina Harrison from ‘Homegrown Garden’ to find out a bit more regarding advice for beginner gardeners. "Grow what you want to grow, now what you think you should grow. I remember when I grew loads of kale one year because it was the winter plant that stood up to all the weather, not realizing at the time that I hated the stuff! Embrace the failures as part of the learning process and always start small. You’ll have more success if you focus your learning on growing just a few crops rather than trying to do everything in your first year."

Helpfully, she also gave some examples of common misconceptions people tend to have. "Gardening can be done on a balcony, a single pot outside your front door, or on a window ledge. These small spaces are often those that desperately need greening up and it benefits those around you and the wildlife too. Also, I think a lot of people believe that to grow anything successfully you need to have a south-facing, sunny garden when in fact some of my favorite ornamental plants thrive in shady conditions. Ornamental plants such as hellebores, ferns, and even edible crops like lettuce, spinach, and beetroot don’t mind shade and won’t be quick to go to seed in the summer heat."

They were stunned" - But how can you give dahlias as a gift, they are just your basic roadside flowers, it's not done!" ))

However tall that enterprising bunny can make itself, that's how bare your kale will be!
AnkleByter 2 years ago
This is both hilarious, and adorable, while being potentially frustrating too. We have a rabbit who absolutely loathes kale-and a lot of other plants including veggies. It took us almost a year to get him to like carrot, which is just odd. He did however munch off the bottom branches on a few plants and chomp down a bunch of grasses after pulling a houdini once. Thankfully he wasn't missing long, but he left a pattern of destruction everywhere he went before we found him.

We had planted a whole row of seeds and the only one that thrived was the spot where the dog pissed every other day. So weird because normally nothing will grow in spots like that.

Ohhhh i hope mine can get to this height this year. Dug them up from a ditch and transplanted them to my garden almost two years ago. Last year they did ok, hopping they really explode this year. 🤞

Lupines are an invasive species here. They suffocate everything else and local pollinators can't use them.

That is why a lot of garden-lovers enjoy them; they're easy. But of course that's why it's hard to stop the spread.

I need to make this for my mum! Not so much gardening in general, but her seed-saving, gets tedious over time.

Don't Tell My Neighbor But I'm Quietly Waiting For These To Ripen On Their Avocado Tree
Biana Weatherford 2 years ago
Wait for them to get BIG ENOUGH. Then snag them and wait for them to ripen. Avocados don't ripen on the tree.

Our neighbor has given us permission to pick guavas from any branch that hangs over the fence :-)

I Know Its One Of You Guys

I think it's based off an experiment in the 70s(?). They hooked up some plants to a polygraph (lie detector) and did various things -- singing to the plants, shouting insults, etc. Either the plants reacted to vocal stimuli or polygraphs are b******t (spoiler alert: it's the latter).

My Tomato Harvest From The Last Two Days! Any Good Recipes That Require Lots Of Tomatoes?

I peel them, put them through a blender and freeze them in 5 dl boxes. Better than finely chopped tomatoes from a can.

I make 'sun dried' tomatoes in my dehydrator, then put them in jar of oil with herbs and garlic.

My Cousin Made A Tiny Lake In Our Garden And Put Some Cute Little Fishies In It. What Do You Think? Ps. My Dog Just Had Surgery Which Is Why She Is Wearing The Collar

You need to put in some branches for critters to be able to get out if they fall in.

and oxigenating plants and maybe a net if there are waders/shorebirds around

It looks sweet but I don't think the fishies will stay around long. All sorts of critters like eating fish and they have no problems getting into the water to catch them.
Bookworm 2 years ago
Great idea, could use a few adjustments. I see other people have already suggested oxygenating plants and some branches. I'd also add some rocks that the fish can hide in, maybe even some native reeds, which will also attract birds. Some local mussels would help keep the water clear - and maybe give a struggling species a little boost, because lots of shellfish are under threat from invasive species and pollution. If you really want to get into this, you could plant a tree to eventually provide shade - direct summer sun is tough on fish.

Combine the cacti with similar growing conditions into one giant pot. Voila, fewer pots and a container garden of cacti 😁

Tell the HOA to suck eggs. Seriously, read the entire list of HOA rules and regulations you signed and agreed to follow. Do this so you can fight them using their own words if you choose to. You also need to find out who is on your HOA's board and how they got their position. I do not garden or live where an HOA can tell me what I can/cannot do with my own property. Lots of people have trouble with HOA's. Do your research and be prepared to stand up for yourself.
