Planting! Harvesting! Magic?

[Distriimuir]

So lets do a little different thread yeah? Any gardeners out in imtg world? (Plane?) currently trying to save my mini farm on my land, heats crazy out in socal right now. My watermelons are ripe enough I guess but I'd like to give them another few weeks, but the heat may change that.

I'm also setting up my fall sprouts now in my indoor farm, pumpkins, squash, and my precious berries! (All species I love me some berries) am I the only green thumb on here?

I always have a herb garden going wherever I live. Basil, parsley, thyme, sage, and some variety of hot peppers usually end up working best for me

Love peppers, we have the good old green and red bells, some Thai black, Californian apple ( huge sweet freaking peppers), and a Trinidad ghost pepper bush that we've had growing a few years.(hottest on record or was till last year can't remember) they are like eating hellfire lol

Unfortunately these heat waves are the evolving climate of California and now our normal seasons are a bit off

Lots of watering and shade should help, perhaps watering a little extra in the AM and in the PM depending on how dry your soil is

Fortunately plants are very resilient and if they are lacking water, a good drink will get them back up, just make sure to water in the am (before 8am) and after 7pm to reduce the amount of water evaporated from heat

Tays: did you ever make your own soul or just stick them in dirt? I've developed my own organic soil recipe over the years that makes anything grow into beasts.

Muggy: yeah the heat socal has gotten the last few years has made me a firm believer in GW lol. I've had to change my whole planting schedule every year for the last 6 years almost.

I live in rural Missouri, so crops are abundant. At my house we grow corn, bell peppers, jalepeños, banana peppers, pumpkins, cantaloupe, watermelon, cabbage, rhubarb, strawberries, asparagus, lettuce, spinach, broccoli, brussel sprouts, potatoes, grapes, and oxheart tomatoes to name a few, at the family farm we grow soybean, brome, fescue, wheat, and other types of grain. Just cash crop, no live stock except for about 12 chickens.

I am currently applying bleach to radish plants. For SCIENCE. Literally.

I don't do much, but I have my little herb garden for thyme, basil, parsley, etc. I planted a few veggies this year, but my dog, eh, "relocated" them when I wasn't looking. Some tomatoes and zucchini survived her little digging adventure, though. Those zucchini were delicious, grilled em with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper. Super simple, super good.

I'm considering trying to plant my own ginger lilies. I don't think they would survive the wildlife, though (chipmunks are jerks)

I used to grow strawberries. They were quite good, but the garden was in the way of our new pool so... I ate them.

I never could get strawberries to grow when I wanted. The best solution for me was strangely to leave the bushes alone. I also need some advice on heirloom tomatoes. Where do I go to get seeds for next year?

[Gorzo]

A farmer's market, or your everyday garden store should have tomato seeds for you

[Distriimuir]

Burpee is where I get all my seeds. Cheap prices and heirloom species that are rare or a cross that they made.

[Aladormax]

Would going super low tech and taking the inedible heirloom from the fridge and planting it work?

[Distriimuir]

To just plant it and look at it? Yes. To eat it? No. Lol

Figured as much, but didn't want to throw away stuff I could use somehow.
