Gardening Forum

is there any interest in something like this here.....maybe under the DIY Forum.

I know there are a few gardeners here...

Just a thought

I'm in.

Got a small job today, building a cold frame. Was lucky to find two storm doors at the transfer station, which will make it easy.

Should we combine it all? DIY, Guns, Home, & Garden?

yesterday, i decided to make a storm stew....
with beef, carrots, celery, broccoli ,red potatoes, red bell pepper,scallions,porta bella mushrooms,....ect.
and it cost around $40.00 bucks in ingredients. Yikes!
But it came out SUPERB... the snow is wet and heavy and i needed energy+ .
This year i am growing everything in Pots 1-5 gallons (totally mobile)
and then i will be
planting them in the ground after cutting more root holes in the bottom which
will facilitate the roots getting out and make watering and weeding a breeze.

the word GARDEN is used with a broad brush
and usually means ornamental s (flowers)
and shrubbery or landscaping ones yard.

Growing food is a whole different subject.
Gardens and Guns isn't about food gardens.

I made some delicious waffles for my son for breakfast this morning. He likes to put mini chocolate chips on them.

Rav, $40 for stew is about right, It costs me over $20 to make chicken
soup.
Crazy, there is no inflation.

I make blueberry pancakes for my Grandkids using "Heart Smart Bisquick"
and add egg whites for whole eggs. Pretty healthy, taste betta then the Diner's and fill ya up real good on a cold day.

Can't beat growing herbs either, they are sky high $$$.

they are habitually "on time" and you can take advantage of that trait
with stealthy observation as to when they come out to play in your garden.

I'm into the giant pumpkin growing as well. Been doing it the last 3 years now. My best was about 250.

Maybe we can get a pumpkin growing contest going.

Had a girlfriend who's father used to sit on a porch and spit his watermellon seeds over the rail. One took root and grew a ginormous watermellon that eventually was entered in a fair and took second place.

Pretty sure I still have a bunch of seeds from my 250lber. I'd be happy to dole some out to whoever wants some. Though I cannot guarantee they will actually sprout.
