I’ve started trying to grow stuff. I started with a rosemary plant I picked up at the grocery store, then a kit for a garlic bulb. I’ve now expanded into flowers, accent grasses and now, even strawberries. So far it’s all pretty tenuous. I have no idea what’s going to make it and what isn’t. I think the rosemary will be fine, it’s getting pretty big and looks healthy. The garlic’s looking ok, but I think I’m getting close to that time when I might need to stop watering so much and let it dry out a little.
The flowers aren’t doing too bad, but certainly aren’t thriving. Same with the grasses. I’m taking a Darwinian approach with most of this stuff. If it survives, great, if not, time to move on. The strawberries are looking strong right now, but I don’t think I have enough real space for them. I’ll wait and see.
Being the kind of guy who can’t leave well enough alone though, I have to say that the Garduino setup looks pretty awesome and I think I’m going to have to at least give it some consideration.

It will be interesting to see if your strawberries have a hint of garlic to them
I don’t know anything about gardening though so yeah.

Well, so long as there isn’t a wholesale massacre, you can continue with the gardening campaign. I once tried to grow some tomatoes, and it wasn’t pretty. Managed to kill off at least half-dozen perfectly healthy plants.

I like to grow flowers because it is relaxing my nerves. Salve for my soul is when I see that my plants progress. I think that everyone who works in the garden has the same feeling.

I have made a garden, actually a very small one since my kids love to see it. I have been trying to grow many kinda foodstuffs and it is a good job to do.

For me gardening is one of the most enjoyable and relaxing activities around. Siting a garden bed, choosing plants and making them thrive are techniques you can learn on how to grow plants.

Gardening is quite relaxing!
