in a modest home garden setting.

i have coconuts growing in my yard that are doing quite well. and, my neighbor has an avocado tree and mango tree that are quite abundant when bearing fruit. oh, i also have a trumpet plant that is about 12 ft. tall. supposedly, the blooms can be boiled and create a hallucigentic effect but i wouldn't know for a fact.

hope this info was helpful.

Now we're talkin'. Where do you live? Hopefully that wasn't too creepy. But seriously, what part of the country? It's September here in Alabama, as I suspect it is where you live as well and still very hot, way too hot here to plant most trees, better off in the fall or after the last frost in early spring. You should look for either flowers indigenous to where you live that bloom in late fall and/or vegetables that are usually harvested around Thanksgiving or in early December. You could also try finding vegetables that can be grown in containers so if a cold snap hits early you can bring them inside. Goddamn I love gardening. Thank you for starting this thread.

Don't you live in Denver, 1/2?

What are you looking for?

Flowers? Trees? Veggies?

Fall is a great time to plant perennials that will get enough grow time to overwinter.

Cannabis will make a fine garden addition. It can also be a nice supplement to the income.

Aw, Dear Sturgeous,

All I want in this whole world is to make up. I've been feeling bad about the gg for a long time. I've funny feelings about misappropriated board posts sometimes. Seems weird, but real.

I'm sorry for all the blustery board talk. Really. Cross my heart.

Now, as for gardening:

If you have leaky faucets, plant mint right around the leaky nozzle. 'Twill grow real good.

Love,
A real good horse

Sturge,

Let's get down to brass tacks. You wrote something on this board that struck me as sour and piqued my interest. I wrote back, perhaps strongly, even still, I wrote back.

Isn't that all we want?

Kisses,
Pillage

p.s. Do you have Rudy Guiliani on with his speech? I don't know why I'm a political junkie.

Wait, wait, wait!

Your quote wasn't that one a minute ago. It was still the gg one!

I'm so relieved now with this new one. A real kick and satisfaction.
