We had a 2014 gardening thread and another planting trees thread. Figured it would be better just to have a general thread to share knowledge about all things yards.
I've learned stuff about growing things here in the desert from people all around the country. Post pictures and share your knowledge! [Reply]
I just picked up a new AreoGarden at an auction for half of list. I've been wanting one forever but was hoping the price would come don before I pulled the trigger. I can't wait for the fresh herbs [Reply]

Let me know how that goes. Very interesting but I've never pulled the trigger based on price. [Reply]

That's interesting. Limited space? Curious, don't know much about them except what comes up on a search. [Reply]

A buddy of mine has had one for about 3 years now. the only thing he's had trouble with are the chives. Basil and cilantro grow like weeds though [Reply]
Oh yeah, almost forgot. I snacked on my own home grown grapes while watching Mahomes light it up Thursday night.
They are small this second year, but have that conchord taste, but with seeds you have to spit out. Very happy and they should be better next year. [Reply]

It's basically a mini hydroponics system tha sits on your counter. You can order the pods and food online. It has a built in timer and tells you when to add water and food. [Reply]

Nice!
I had a 2 year old grapevine this year and the grapes were super delicious but small and not many made if past the birds. I have Thompson Flameless seedless, which I love. What do you have your vine trellising on?

I also think it's a no go for me based on our cat.
She eats ANY plant that's alive in our house. Bring in a rose from the yard.....leaves ripped off and barf found around the house.
Nice green house plant for the bathroom. Bark used as a scratching post and cat bite marks across all the leaves. Barf left around the house.
Not a bad year at all, but the same spot burnt out (because flights window reflection) and the same area under the deck tuned to mud (because the deck grew) so GloryDayz will be doing some serious flat work and not fighting mother nature any more.

I heard year 3 is great though!
I have them in huge pots on the back deck. Last year the vines went crazy with no grapes and then I read up on how to do it. I cut them back and tied them 1/4 cable running along the lattice work. It turned out to be vines or grapes, I chose grapes. :-) [Reply]

I had one for a few years before the pump failed. It was fun to watch the stuff grow. You'll have a good time. [Reply]

I've had one for more than a decade now. Got one of the originals for Christmas.
Parsley, thyme, and basil grow crazy good. The rosemary didn't do well at all. I've also had really good yield from their little pepper plants.
I just bought one of their seed starter kits to use for next year's outdoor garden. [Reply]
