You really don't need to grow everything you eat. Think of it as supplementing. Even a small herb pot or garden can reduce grocery costs.
Gardening, however, can grow on you. It is a wonderful hobby. Don't forget about foraging either - there is a lot of free food that can be found almost everywhere plants grow.

@cmconseils Yep! Same!

[crazyeddie@mastodon.social]

@cmconseils Yep. Any time I'm faced with a task that makes my heart start pounding for no good reason I start inventing pretty much any other activity I could be doing. The more unreachable the better. If I could actually do it, like right now, that would be totally missing the point. It's got to be something that if I start thinking about actually doing it I suddenly start getting overwhelmed. So like I have to go to the store and get dirt. What kind of dirt? I need tools. Ughh....

@oddtail @cmconseils Ja aktywnie rozglądam się za działką ROD. Do najbliższego ROD-a miałbym 15 minut rowerem

@oddtail @cmconseils try strawberries. A window sill box is enough. And they're so much tastier than bought ones. (Also: very drought resistant).

And if you want to make sure you don't forget watering them, a beer bottle filled with water (or something similar) top down to the bottom of the box eliminates the need to water for a few weeks ️

@cmconseils this is me

[kalabawcnc@mastodon.social]

@cmconseils Exactly what I am doing, this was my work yesterday on my irrigation system! I spent over $10,000 getting this garden built and I have moved almost 2,000 cubic yards of dirt, rock, soil and mulch. https://youtu.be/n-d_ag8hEL0?si=v-PYWy9gEbltPBra

I just cut some brush, mowed a spot, put sand down and planted stuff. My equipment consists of a round point shovel, a hoe and a 5-tine fork to spread mulch. I used to haul sand in my truck but now use a small tractor. I don't plow, till or hardly weed. I get old hay from farmers and use manure from my chickens.

@cmconseils

You don't have to grow all of it. And rather than growing it, you can **make** it. I don't buy bread, I buy flour and yeast. And lately I've been growing my own yeast.

@cmconseils I resemble that remark!
I'm trying to get my house less chaotic & messy & preparing it for my future hip surgery... but also thinking I should use the back yard as a garden for vegetables & herbs. Maybe next year.

@cmconseils You can tell all the gardeners on here because we are going, "Do it! Herbs! Strawberries! Start small! It will make the other stuff less overwhelming!" (True) And I will add, a delicious heirloom cherry tomato plant (e.g. Black Cherry) is also a good place to start in pot/balcony food growing.
