Anyone else keep a garden? No, I'm not 80. I've been growing lavender, salvia and hyssop indoors over winter and am going to plant them all together in a pretty-smelling bed for bees yo. When the garden centers put their stock out in a couple of weeks I will get some spireas and make a hedge at the front of my plot. |

I'll be growing hops, lavender, thyme, coriander, fleabane, swiss chard, kale, spinach, a few variety of beans, squash, beets....quite quaint. I didn't buy any chickens this year but I'm going to take one of my sheds and get it ready for chickens. Maybe get some quaint bees next year too. |

Did you read that article revealing Monsanto is responsable for the near eradication of a species of bee? Fucking sad and a bit scary. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No, not surprising. The monarch butterfly decline is likely their doing also. Something to do with eradicating milkweed. The monarch's need milkweed to survive. |

just cannabis, rhubarb and ornamental plants like geraniums, lavender, roses. i gave up weed 2 weeks ago. |

How have you been managing so far? |
||||||||
|

i'm doing fine, there's no pot/weed here. and i don't want to find it. i used to smoke all the day.. from wakey wakey to sleep. all day stoned. my taste for alcohol is increasing, nothing to be worried, but i'm noticing a drift to alcohol. i'm going to have a Jeremiah Weed today. |

can i buy a salvia cutting? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

i dont have a garden for myself but i put some strawberries under the apple tree, where the janitors lawnmower is unlikely to hit it. probably gonna be harvested by the kids in the houses around, hope theyre gonna have something to pick :) plus i got myself a new stock of herbs for the windowsills; basil, rosemary, majoram, salvia and finally i found me some thai basil, YUM! love having them in the flat as they spread a nice aroma all around :) i also bought some random flower and veggie seeds to spread around town .-) |

I like growing some chillis and I planted an onion last year and that's turned into something very sci-fi looking. |

Pic! Aaaaaall of you! |

Less Monsanto more just generally the chronic overuse of pesticides by all of agribusiness (including Monsanto) I actually have some milkweed seeds - monarch butterflies love that shit - I am going to plant some, plus some general wildflower shit so I can listen to IDMz while watching bees and butterflies buzz about their business |

Have you grown hops before? I tried growing grapevines last year (similar plants I guess?) but all of the fuckers died on me. Not sure I can be bothered this year. It might have just been the shite clay soils we have here though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hops thrive in clay'ish soil. There's all kinds growing up here from early settlers and I've met a few people doing them already. I'm more worried about how I'm going to let them grow out. I haven't devised a trellis system yet. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hmm fair enough, I might try some instead of grapes then... Cheapest method of trellissing I think is to use bamboo, you can get poles dirt cheap and they're easy to lash together with twine to build larger structures I actually planted my salvia and lavender first thing this morning, now I check the weather and there's fucking frosts at the end of this week. Fuck Thor or whoever the weather god is |

This might be the nicest thread on Zilty in years. |

That's freaking early man. You'll get frost until mid june for sure. Last year the last frost was almost at the very end of june. I'm not too optimistic of the lavender taking off, it's zone 5 and we are 2-3. I do know of someone who has some lavender growing in her garden. I might tale clippings off them if I find out they survived the winter outdoors. I forget if she has left them out for the last three years or not. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well it's not like those plants can't take the frost, but they need hardening up in order to take the frost. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

I'm actually in SW Ontario, Zone 6, not in the Abitibi (I just spend a lot of time there. If I did live there I'd just grow blueberries and Labrador tea) Probably was still a bit early though, the old wives tales all say don't plant anything until May 2-4 round here for fear of frost. That's mainly for vegetables though I guess if you're zone 2 or 3 you're in AB? Or you in northern ontario? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Northern. Nipigon I have Labrador Tea at my place, and blueberries, Saskatoons, and raspberries. Everything I'll be growing grows fine here except for the lavender. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh yeah, I knew someone on here was from there. Not worked in NW Ont for a while now, i miss it! I love that landscape and I've always wanted to mimic it in a patch in my garden. I guess I could make a mini muskeg underneath my downspout and put some Lab tea in it. For realistic muskeg effect I could bury some toy bulldozers in it |
||||||||

I'm not even talking about pesticides. I'll find you an article in english if i can as to what happened in Switzerland. It's like active sabotage. Nuts. |

I want to grow Salvia divinorum, any one grow it? Last year I grew mint and dried it to make tea |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lol you'd probably need to grow it in a greenhouse if it needs constant tropical heat and moisture Nice and warm here now so I am going to plant a bunch of fucking daylilies |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I need to grow enough to get me to the area of madness, somewhere near alpha centauri |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I work at a stoneyard/ornamental garden and going to work on client properties for land management and landscaping so this is pretty neat stuff if you aks me! When you say salvia, you mean purple salvia, yes? Also, good luck with your growings this year! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah Russian Sage or whatever. Purple spikes of flowers that bees fucking love. I would have enjoyed working in landscaping probably, apparently it has one of the highest job-satisfaction levels |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

I've got a garden and I grow my own veggies just for fun. It's great to eat your own home grown food. |
||||||||
|
|

i suppose riced out yugo is where i've put my gardening energies |
||||||||

I bought some saskatoon berry shrubs yesterday, they won't give me anything this year but should get a good crop next year. Not sure where to plant them however |

Hey! There is a fellow by the name of Mike, just moved over from England, he is working our garden at the company shop this year and tending to a few of our high end clients (+), I've been meaning to mention the board to him, though I'm sure he is familiar. Anyways, any pics of your yield? I'd surely like to see! |
||||||||

never knew you could grow plants in your mothers basement |
||||||||
|
|

haha! |

Right after graduating I landed a pretty decent job in mining that required a hell of a lot of travel. So I parked all my shit in my moms basement for about a year while I was working in exploration camps in the James Bay lowlands on contract wages. In a year I saved enough to get a house and pay off half the mortgage at age 24 (I also ordered some IDM CDs lol). So living in your moms basement for a bit can pay off I do actually start seeds in the basement of this house though lol. And I wintered my strawberries there this winter |

Gardening is amazing and ancient IDM power. Connecting with plants and Earth, gardening allows for reaffirmation of Gaia consciousness connection. I really feel everyone should exercise, and garden. Obviously, farming would be both of those. Most of my gardening experience is ganj, but I've also had to take care of quite a large garden when living in Joshua Tree. Long live plants. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Reaffirming connections with Gaia is more of an ambient power than an IDM one. Or maybe a psytrance one |
||||||||
|
|

Shpongle makes apparent that all goodness is IDM. All IDM comes from the fruits of Gaia. |

I now have a salvia divinorum plant and it's enjoying it's time on my windowsill, very rare to find one of them |

Got a dirt cheap wisteria in a garden centre clearout yesterday, I'm hoping to have it climb up the front of my house. It'll obviously die back now as it's autumn but should come back just fine in the spring. Just hope it isn't too fussy and I don't have to wait years for it to start blooming |

do you watch Gardeners World ? so relaxing my venus flytrap is about 20 years old, s/he's totally hardcore |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

hmm prolly she for venus really never thought about it before |

>>> Reaffirming connections with Gaia Garden Therapy should exist if it doesnt, it is just so great being in them & even better working to look after em. Was thinking about getting a city alotment but i dont think its the same if it isn't by yr house |
||||||||

It is pretty therapeutic actually If you have a balcony you can still do a lot with that. I grew vast crops of raspberries and blackberries on my apartment balcony before I bought this house |
||||||||

I'm growing a Pineapple , but it doesn't seem to be getting any bigger |

it's not working you're still a cunt. |

thou it's nice to know a prick like you is confined to a shitty flat in the middle of fucking nowhere and is so desperate to converse you talk about nothing that anyone would ever care about. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Got lots of carrots, peas, spinach, spaghetti and acorn squash, dill, few beets (deer ate most).... Shitty season I know I could look this up but what sort of prepping could I do now for next spring? Might plant potato seed pods now, and some garlic |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I guess just pump the soil with some juicy shit - compost etc - ready for next year. Grind up fall leaves too, and mix that shit in I have been taking wild rose cuttings from all across northern ON and QC this year, and rooting them in Timmies cups. I have one more load coming home with me now, hopefully they will have time enough to root before winter kicks in, so I can get them in the ground. I am gradually building up a wild rose hedge to keep the neighbours' shitty dog off my lawn |

I don't live in a flat. I used to Funny how the old farts like yourself incessantly moan about how great things were here in the Good Old Days, while shitting all over any vaguely coherent conversation made by newer members. Any wonder this forum is dead? |
