Despite my innate touch of death, I am learning how to garden.
I like to raise herbs and veggies for our own kitchen consumption!
My best crop so far is a bunch of green onions that came with the house and grow back every year 😼 feels good man to just go outside and cut some for dinner.
We've been trying to get pumpkins going from leftover pumpkin guts from Halloweens past. They like our mulch.
Tomatoes, peppers, and potatoes make up the meat of the produce.
I also like to keep the natural flora going for the wildlife outside.
Feels good man to see snakes and lizards and hummingbirds and mantises zipping around.
I have become enraptured by Hugelkultur.
Potatoes
Don't dig too deep or they'll rot. 4 inches deep maybe, 12 inches apart.
Trench method - dig a line, cover 'em up. Don't need to hill additional dirt on top.
Ruth Stout method - Just put em on the floor, no digging, then cover them with straw/dry mulch. Very clean cuz you don't have to dig up dirt.
