My melon and zucchini plant having a race this year
  • Not to be a downer here, but last year I had plenty of super large tomatoes plants - super healthy too! I got I think 2-3 flowers and 0 fruits. But the odds are in your favor when your plants are that healthy :)

  • Does anyone else watch Gardener’s World on BBC? Amazon Prime has two seasons included.
  • No I actually haven't, but I watch various creators on YouTube. Maybe I should give it a try :)

  • My friend’s front porch
  • Looks so cozy, love it!

  • What’s some gardening wisdom that you wish you knew sooner?
  • Don't try to fight the weat, try to make peace with it. Otherwise you're fighting a loosing war.

  • Thought you guys might enjoy that resource as well. Make sure to also check out the original post.

  • Haha I wish I'd be Uncle Iroh!

    I found it by browsing the stock of a very good German herbal/medical plant merchant. I got very intrigued by the description and just bought one plant and got to get a second plant from it by propagating via cuttings :D

    It adds a light citruy fresh taste to the tea. I personally always mix it with some other tea, because by itself is very mild. I most often drink it with a basic green tea, some ginger and honey.

    Welcome Welcome to this plant species information tool compiled by Lally Luck Farm.

    > Hey there everybody > > This is a spreadsheet we made to help folks pick out plants for their gardens by sorting and filtering for all sorts of growth habits, uses, and site conditions. Please feel free to make a copy and use it in your software of choice and share it with gardening friends if you like; all we ask is proper attribution. For full disclosure, this is adapted from the Plant Species Matrix found in Edible Forest Gardens vol. 2 by Dave Jacke and Eric Toensmeier. We lovingly (painstakingly) went line by line to make it again and update a few data points to reflect new information like hardiness zones or pH as well as add the utility of being able to whittle down such a huge list to only what niche you're looking for.

  • Thanks, I will definitely be using this! I was planning on creating something of the sorts myself. But now I have a great foundation on which I can build.

  • I don't think "command line hard" is the worst part of self-hosting.
  • To be honest, the command line is an important tool, that when you are able to use correctly, will give you a better understanding of a lot of the inner workings of a machine.

    The commandine might be intimidating at first, but I personally think not as big of a hurdle to think about replacing it with anything.

    Most people that I know that at first were afraid of the command line but tried to get into it, now don't want to go back. Working with the cli is so efficient that it's hard to go back to GUI's.

    Edit: don't get me wrong. I do love a good gui! And I am all for creating usefully GUI's, also for tech jobs. But I don't see a point in replacing the job you do in the cli with a GUI.

  • After 5 years, Greta Thunberg holds her final school strike for the climate
  • The last school strike but probably not the last strike. Gonna be interesting what she will do now after she finished school.

  • What are your favorite herbs/spices that you grow yourself?
  • 8 dollars? That's crazy. Especially because the plant itself isn't that hard to keep and produces an amount of leafs you will never be able to use all.

  • What are your favorite herbs/spices that you grow yourself?
  • Agastache foeniculum seems nice, also seems to attract butterflies, which I was looking for anyways.

  • What are your favorite herbs/spices that you grow yourself?
  • Oh yes love myself a good mint tea! Though I still have to find my favorite mint variety to make tea.

  • What are your favorite herbs/spices that you grow yourself?
  • Yellow lavender? Huh, never heard of it, gonna look it up, thanks!

    How does the hotness level depend on the watering? The less water the hotter the pepper?

  • What are your favorite herbs/spices that you grow yourself?
  • To also contribute a plant myself: My current favorite is Jiaogulan. Even though it isn't really a spice, it is used to make tea (very mild) and they say it has the power to keep you young (not sure how much and if there is anything really to it).

  • What are your favorite herbs/spices that you grow yourself?
  • Ah yes, basil got me into the whole plants rabbit hole. Love how easy it is to just get started by buying one pot from the super market and then just living off of it without ever needing to buy a new one.

    I always let mine flower at the end of the year, and plant the next generation from seed, so I still have the 'same' basil plant from a couple of years ago when I started.

    Edit: My current basil plants still are pretty small, but are looking good and healthy so far:

  • My first zucchini!
  • Ah there we go! Looks very good!

  • My first zucchini!
  • I don't see a picture. :( Maybe it got lost in the fediverse?

    Feed of other Instances not showing up

    Hey,

    because lemmy is federated I thought I'd create my own instance, basically just for myself. Because I had no idea what I was doing, I tried to find post from other instances. First instance I tried was Beehaw. But it somehow did not work.

    I was confused. Because after a few minutes I tried to get posts from other Instances and that worked pretty well.. Any idea why I can't access posts from beehaw on my own instance? Does it maybe have to do with them defederating lemmy.ml and sh.itjust.works?

    Thank for your help!
