Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Gardening is a lot about trial and error - and there's always gonna be something catching you off (rain, pests, root rot etc).
When I knew nothing, I started off growing 1 easy thing like tomatoes and going from there. You dont even need seeds, just grab a bag of premixed soil (there'll be bags at ya local supply store that say tomato mix) then cut a thick slice of a tomato from ya fridge and chuck it in a small pot of soil (saw it in a tiktok video). Once sprouts start coming up (like a 2 or 3 weeks) pull the biggest ones out and chuck em in their own pot and let em grow. Water em like once a week or every few days depending on the weather and bob's ya uncle.
The cunts ended up growing through the bottom of the pot, through the turf and into the ground underneath, so they're strong bastards.
The confidence of growing ya first veg motitivates you to tackle more stuff and before you know it ya got a green thumb.
Also don’t feel bad if this trick doesn’t work. Many varieties grown to be sold at supermarkets are sterile.
