All things green, outdoors, and nature-y. Whether it's animals in their natural habitat, hiking trails and mountains, or planting a little garden for yourself (and everything in between), you can talk about it here.

Corn, green beans, yellow onions, and lettuce. I also more than doubled my strawberry and raspberry plants.
I'm trying to overrun the rest of my back yard with either clover for walking paths or wildflowers for the wildlife.
My front yard is a little more tame with just a couple apple trees.
This is my second season of growing vegetables in my backyard, this time I'm growing most of them from seed. It's cold where I live right now and I have: broccoli, snow peas, bok choy, leek, beetroot, fennel, some herbs (basil, dill, and parsley), and some flowers (strawflowers & marigolds).
I grew a load of stuff last summer and it was a bit of a pain with the water shortage and heatwave.
This year I'm growing chilli's because they are aesthetically pleasing.
Last year was AWFUL omg!
Tell me about it! I got into in the spring and by the end of summer I was done.
Hopefully that didn't discourage you. This year has been much more forgiving, at least in my area. I know last year was the 2nd longest period without noticeable precipitation for 67 days. Went from June to August with nothing. I was so angry. This year I made sure to put at minimum 7 inches of mulch in every bed >:(
Good effort. I didn’t use any mulch last year. This year I just have one chilli plant. I haven’t got the time to tend to a veg patch at the moment.
