The wife's dad, however, is some sort of wizard with seeds and grows almost everything he can from seed.

Yeah. I just like more natural way of going by seed. But certainly has it's setbacks.

@Deleted User Low light. Makes sense, likes to be in the shadows as it wonders.

@GoyMeetsWorld If I remember correctly, that's exactly how it got it's name

Of course!

Does anyone have any good informative videos or online articles that would help me start looking into an in-home mini garden? I am in college, and have a small patio deck that I can do a small box garden or multiple plants. Thanks!

Have you seen these garden wall things? You can make it with old pallets to save $$

That looks absolutely perfect and what I want to do. It's nearing the Winter though (Winter is coming lol), so would it be a good time to pick up the hobby now?

Or wait until the Spring?

What zone are you in?

I live in Harrisonburg, Virginia

Eastern Time Zone is that is what you're looking for

No hardiness zone. So you're in zone 6 which isn't good for winter planting without a greenhouse. You can look around for supplies now and start your seeds in late winter/early spring indoors.

That would be fantastic! Would you mind in I reached out to you again at the end of winter for some questions?

Not at all. Here's a pic of a pallet being used as a mini garden. Since pallets are free and everywhere it's a cheap easy way to do these gardens:

I really dig that! Awesome job!

That's not mine but I plan to do these mixed in with my garden to save space.

Very pretty

We love the pallet planters at my house. Be sure to use pallets that are not chemically treated. They have stamps on them with different designations.

^^^Yes. Whenever using wood to make a garden container make sure it's not chemically treated.

@Deleted User O wouldn't use pallets for gardening, fam. It's usually made from pressure treated lumber

Oops, didn't read all the way down

My bounty, from a 4x4 plot of soil

Does anyone have any suggestions for what to plant in a fall garden? I’m limited to an area that has practically full shade, so I’m restricted in what could successfully grow there.

If nothing is suitable for that spot, I could always purchase pots for my porch.

You could try some root vegetables like beets, carrots, or potatoes or some leafy greens. I know they don’t really need full sun but I’m sure they’d want at least a little bit still can’t hurt to try

Ok, I’ll see what I can do. 👍🏻 Thanks

My Japanese eggplants still going strong

Nice. Now bread it and fry to make is sufficiently not healthy 😃

Yes!

Great eggplant!

Thanks!

So this seems like the best place to ask but does anyone have tips for treating pink eye in cows?

antibiotics and eye patches, keep as much sun off of them as possible. That's what the eye patches are for. Back on the farm we'd have some cows get it so bad the vet would stitch the eye shut until it cleared up. But it's been about 10 years since I've messed with cattle so there could be some updated way to treat pinkeye. @varjack WA

You probably need to get the vet out there to check out the situation. They can also give you tips on how to control it, flies help spread it. But that's probably not a problem this time of year.

For some reason whenever we try to grow strawberries they don't do to well here
