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]

Yes they are . The giant yellow ones are Russian Mammoth but I forgot what the red ones are called but I like them for obvious red is my favorite color because red represents my favorite NFL football team and sports team called The Kansas City Chiefs. [Reply]

Isn’t that a seed treatment? Gray powdery shit or thick liquid?

Gardening here is so fun! You can grown anything in the Sonoran desert with a little patience. The Papaya tree is skying and has fruit on it! All planted from a seed from a $.99 store bought papaya. I still have 100 seeds from it........
Growing peppers is my current thing. Picture is jalapeno, Sante Fe Grande and Serrano peppers (new plant for me from October). I have a habanero plant I just planted last month. The jalapenos are small but HOT as FUCK! Made salsa today with all these, plus onion and garlic. Will give some away to the neighbors who are Mexican and say my salsa is "pretty hot!" And my Mexican coworkers love it and call me "Mexican Gringo."
Anybody grow weed? My buddy does it (one plant a year) and he tells me there’s male and female plants and that when he harvests it he takes all the leaves off and hangs it upside down with the buds and stems on it. I asked how he knows when to pick the buds and he said you have to look at the buds with a magnifying glass and look for crystals? Seems like a lot of work but he’s got a never ending supply of weed doing it himself. [Reply]
