>>784>whats the benefit to that?I like the moth around. They get some pretty big ones here. I dont think it has any other benefit, other than producing a really pretty white flower. Will post pics when it matures.
>nice i grow some sweet basil indoors but it just seems very sickly and crowded (its just in the same shit i bought it in)If its growing larger then when you bought it try transplanting it into a bigger container, they could be root bound or have root rot.
>sometimes i forget to water and it gets kinda burnedYou have it in a window, I assume? In the end it shouldnt be too much of an issue. I know I try to give my plants only morning sun, its too hot later in the day. If your basil is in a window you also could try putting it in a window facing east.
Thanks for linking my thread btw :D
>>785>Why are you posting here now OP?Gardening is a hobby too. Ill still post in the other thread I suppose. Im trying to spread the good word of plants.

>>799>what am I lookin at? That's whats left of my deck I was making out of pallets. Pics are in the other thread.
>>800Thanks. In the end im on a bigger plot, so I have more room to grow.
>how much bigger are you goingAt least to the end of the camper, maybe 2 more feet out. I just got a raise at work so it should be attainable by the end of summer now.

No.808
>>806I do cook often with what I grow. In the other thread there are pics of the hot sauces I made last year. Im looking forward to that again, Ive got a couple different peppers to try with growing this year. Im going to try making my own tomato sauce with the San Marzanos this year. If they grow half as well as they did last year ill have a bountiful amount. The pickling thing is kinda new to me though. Ill post pics and the recipe I use as the time draws near.

>>834do you have to like, feed the plants besides water? like they have to get some kind of new dirt or something rights? hows that work?
No.838
>>835>do you have to like, feed the plants besides water? No, you don't
have to feed them anything except water.
>>782 outlines what fertilizers and pesticides I use in my garden. I can go more in depth about why I use what I use, if you, or anyone else is wondering.
>like they have to get some kind of new dirt or something rights? No, they don't need new dirt necessaril. If you have the money to buy new dirt every year you can, and other than lifting bags of dirt, it's the easiest way to rejuvenate your soil. I'm a bit of a cheepskate, so I buy additives for the soil I already have, like fish emulsions. Before spring, and fall gardening I gather all my used soil into a container and add the fish powder. I usually throw egg and shrimp shells, and coffee and tea grounds into that. Between those and the fertilizers I add through out the growth cycle, my plants tend to do well.

>>841I have been weary.
>pic oneAdded 2 new fertilizers for my liquid solution. Fish powder
high in nitrogen, will help promote leafy growth and fish bone meal
high in nitrogen, will help promote more flowers, thus more fruit.

is growing in topsoil even a thing there? so weird to see plants being grown outside in pots and beds

>>846maybe its a benefit to be able to move em around?
No.852
>>846Where I live I can't plant anything in the ground.
>>851It does help being able to move them. The peppers do better with more direct sunlight, so as the summer wears on, I'll move them accordingly. It gets hot enough here that nothing except the peppers really needs more that 3 hours of direct sunlight a day. The heat and indirect sunlight takes care of everything else.
