Nothing has really come up yet, it's still a bit cold. Had snow over the weekend.
A couple rows of potatos, some lettuce. Planting corn and beans next week (after last frost date)
I did the first part with a shovel, and then decided to get a crappy little tiller, which turned out to work really well.
Six new apple trees
Damn. Wish I had land.
Does anyone know of any crops that can grow in 100% indirect sunlight?
I can’t grow shit but weed lol
If I grew weed it would probably be trash quality lol.
Just hoard fishcock and groats
This has been my sole contribution to this channel
@Bogs_Bunny You have no direct light or what?
Plenty of plants will grow with non direct light, just might be a little slower or smaller. But others will do fine
When I lived in an apartment, I had 5 - 5 gallon buckets that grew all kinds of veggies. My balcony only had a couple hours of direct sun at best. But the sun reflected of the building next to mine, and the plants did great.

Self-reliance is the real way to end the state
@Lucky Texan yeah my apartment gets no direct sunlight year-round.
@Bogs_Bunny still try some plans in pots. You'll be surprised at how much will still grow
@Bogs_Bunny Do you have somewhere you can fit a tote?
any one ever grow plants indoors? not talking about MJ but food plants like potatoes, carrots etc? i live in a apparment with no garden or balcony etc and ive been thinking of getting some UV lights for my 3d printer then thought about alternative uses.
That's the basis of hydroponics. The soil you use will be important even more so. I can't speak for growing plants inside but I have several seasons of growing plants landscaping.
Ive started lots of plants inddors, but never kepts more then some herbs or house plants inside.
I know if you have the room for a light set up its possible. Ive seen 10foot tomato plants grown inside plant stores here in the states. No idea how many lights where on it though
And if space is an issue, id stay with higher end plants, and not potatoes and carrots...
@kalebdenden you mean by a window?
I have grown a grapevine indoors, using red and blue LED grow lights. It never produced fruit (because it didn't go dormant) and it won't live for more than a few years, but it grew about 30 feet.
No just a tote
If you have a tote you can put a grow light in it and at least grow lettuce or spinach
I might have one around. Aren't grow lights expensive as hell though?
I got my LED grow lights for like $5 each
One of them broke right away, and I had to buy another (cheap import)
Like one $5 light per plant or how does that work?
Depends on how close the plants are. I'm looking on amazon now and they have both spotlight type bulbs (which is what I used) as well as a large square
Grow spotlight is like $16, and the big square is $36, but I'm sure some internet search magic can find better product/prices.
I seriously overestimated the price. I thought grow lights were $100-$300
Non-import commerical ones might be up there, but $50 looks like you could grow a good bit inside
https://morningchores.com/easiest-vegetables-to-grow/ seems pretty informative too
2000 watt 4ftxft full spectrum grow light is $310, for commericial hydroponic
+1 for lettuce. It has been stupid easy to grow
