Grow weed on my apartment building's roof.

[-] linkshandig@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago

I’m hoping to start some bonsai trees

[-] anonymous111@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Tomatoes. Tomatoes everywhere.

  • spring onions and maybe garlic if I build planters.

I want to be able to fight back the chaos a little, clear up the paths and fill up some bare spots. I want a compost heap and I want to learn to compost my oak leaves. I am going to plant a tree but I haven't decided which one yet. My goals have to be small because I haven't got enough time. What are yours?

[-] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

What are yours?

Probably get better with my plants. I live in a flat and travel once in a while, it's a bit difficult to keep them watered

[-] rotkehlchen@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

I see. Which methods have you tried?

[-] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

The infamous wholed plastic bottle, but that didn't really work out (the plant still had a very bad time)

[-] stiephelando@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 years ago

In my experience wicking methods work very well and can be built cheaply.

[-] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

I'll give it a try, thanks!

My plan is to finally try hydroponics alongside my traditional garden. Apart from that I want to get to know my new gardening space. We moved houses mid-season last year and I haven't had the chance to get to know this patch.

Last year I traveled so much that I had no time to trim anything, and by the end of the season my one tomato took over half of the garden. This year I will do actual maintenance.

I also want to try growing chamomile

Humble goal, to keep increasing the number of healthy plants in my apartment without having any mass extinction event. Right now I'm close to 30 plants.

[-] iowagneiss@midwest.social 2 points 2 years ago

More perennials. We've carved out space in the back yard for a row of raspberry plants. We've also cleared some wildflowers (RIP) for a self-pollinating cherry tree. It's going to have to overflow into the front yard if we want to keep adding.

Grow my own mirepoix, potatoes, and garlic

[-] Luvs2Spuj@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Get some climbing plants for the fences and some decorative trees and shrubs. Nothing ambitious, but some more features for an otherwise wild garden.

[-] reddig33@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Gonna try sweet potatoes this year. 🤞

[-] CascadianGiraffe@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Make enough money selling seedlings to offset the cost of my new seed starting setup.

Preserve at least half my harvest.

[-] anakin78z@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Get some good squish growing. We had one fantastic year of zucchini, yellow, butternut, and acorn squash, but every year since has been a fail. Hoping to recapture the magic.

[-] Snapz@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Get some good squish growing

You kids and your new slang terms

[-] Bitswap@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

New property so planting blueberries, grapes, raspberries and a couple fruit trees.

[-] maplehill@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Get back to raising more vegetables and canning. I want to shift away from the grocery store a bit for produce.
