Any of you grow your own food?

*forgot pic

I live in an apartment building in the subarctic. There's snow on the ground 8 months of the year and it usually goes below freezing for a couple days every single month.

Yeah man. I do red potatoes, yukons, and russets. Red and yellow onions. Cherry and Roma tomatoes. Bell peppers, jalapenos, and habaneros. Tons of garlic. A little bit of corn. I should do herbs this year. Haven't had any luck with my apples or peaches though.

Where do you live?

I always wanted to own a piece of land.

Do you have any tips for someone that don't know how to plant shit?

Someday I want to own a piece of land and plant some food of my own, but I'm afraid of starting too late to learn or loosing my courage of trying.

It's never too late to start.

Are you a USAfag? You can contact your local agriculture co-op and they can teach you stuff.

No, I'm from portugal, but I'm thinking on moving to Canada someday

I live in a small apartment so I only grow herbs. Right now I have basil, oregano, thyme, mint, and dill.
I'm in the north so there's a lack of sun in winter, but they still go through.

No because I'm a city cramped apartment cuck. I hate not having my own garden.

I tried the last place I lived but my neighbor decided my plants were touching his property line so he destroyed them.

Thank god I moved.

>my neighbor decided my plants were touching his property line so he destroyed them.
lmao, stay cucked.

I live in SF and I grow herbs in my tiny patio. A lot of herbs dont need much sunlight. Great city, too expensive and too many liberals and too many homeless.

>great city
Yeah it'd be a great city if it didn't have so many liberals and homeless. Thankfully I'm moving soon.

Couldn't do shit. The man founded the whole community, despite the whole community hating him. Old hateful fuck.

i only grow my own shit

Only semi-related but I work for a surveying firm and it's shocking how many of our jobs are "I think his X is over the line". In 4/5 cases the one who calls us is wrong.

Should've pissed in his garden every night. There's something you could've done but you were too much of a weakling.

The midsouth. Yeah it's a hellhole in terms of most people being troglodyte cuckservatives who don't realize the state budget is 48% fed tax dollars from the coasts and bitch about muh gol' damn'd socialist atheists, but lands cheap, climates good and there are a few reasonably human people here and there. Ironically the troglodytes won't plant a garden 'cause they consider that beneath them.

>Not leaving a turd with a revenge note in front of his porch before you left

A smart man would have just cut his gas lines and made it look like a crack head was trying to steal copper.

He had nothing but a good 100 yards of empty grass space before his shrubbery then his house. He just fucks with all his neighbors because he knows he can get away with it.

He lives near one corner of the community so he planted this annoying grass that grows human length that a lot of states consider to be an endangered species that blows all over the goddamned place and replants itself everywhere!

Only a small town would let some old bastard dick around with people while he rested on his wealth and laurels.

...

Canada would be tough. You have a short window to grow stuff, but on the bright side during the summer the days are very long so you can produce a lot in a short time but you'd need to research it. Why can't you grow stuff in Portugal? That's a pretty mild climate.

Pretty pathetic when some oldfuck gets his rocks off fucking with a neighbor growing vegetables. I mean wtf? At worst he should have just said , "look, next year plant them over there, ok?"

Not his fault for having someone use his property. If there's really a discrepancy they can hire a surveyor. Or just do it unofficially and check the City website for the plans or find the monuments and draw a straight line between them.

Pretty sure my vine crossing a property line by 8" doesn't mean you can drive your lawnmower across my garden...

He's a bitter old shut-in but he does this shit all the time and gets away with it because he's rich and his family pulls a lot of weight. And you couldn't even fuck with him because if he's not planning a way to ruin someone's day, he's sitting at a window with a pair of high-powered binoculars watching people.

I have some young fruit trees on my dad's land. They're coming along well and it's time for late winter pruning soon.

He's technically correct, the only type that matters to the law.

>hurr muh property.
Did you know that the NAP does not actually force you to be an asshole towards your neighbours?

If my neighbour pulled something like that on me instead of just talking to me about it like an adult I think most of his garden would mysteriously die.
What a petty old shit.

This. Minor issues like this that aren't harming anything can easily be dealt with in a relaxed manner by just talking about it like
>your veg are growing well this year user, a little too well, 'cause they're colonising my yard, lol. Maybe next year plant them a couple feet further back?
There's something warped about a human being who's first thought is to destroy a neighbors vegetables because they were creeping slightly into his yard.

Pretty sure he can't actually drive the lawnmower onto MY property to be.TECHNICALLY CORRECT about the fact that either one of us could have just moved the goddamned vines. He literally crossed property lines to mow over my fucking garden dude.

I grow tomatoes, habaneros, jalapenos, and bell peppers, hydroponically. It's comfy op.

I grow pumpkins, melons, tomatoes, and peppers. This year I'm thinking about doing some black-eyes peas, tomatillos, corn and herbs.

Garden tomatoes are so fucking incredible that they defy description, anons. During the summer I'll eat like four or five a day. I'll get home from work/school, walk over to the garden, pull a ripe tomato off the vine and pop it into my mouth.

>canada

If you go south, land is usually pricey. If you go north growing seasons are nearly non-existent. Thankfully there's usually something You can grow nearly anywhere like many tubers.

You can say that about basically any division of essential labour. It's called a hobby you autist.

Are you me?

I’m in northern Alberta...

Nope, much more North again: Yellowknife.

Didn't realize Northern Alberta had many apartment buildings. High Level, Fort Mac?

Fort Mac. I did spent a winter in hey river a decade ago, actually lived in that decrepit high rise they have. The top floors were pretty nice tho.

I’m afraid to grow here. Hell, we found out there’s an old readioactice waste dump inside the city limits when part of the town burnt down in 2015. I need to get the fuck out of here...

>cucked by snow for 8 months

If you live in the US this should be true. Entering private property without permission is illegal, and malicious vandalism is illegal as well. Why not stand up to him?

Those people sound as repulsive as their ideological opposites. How can you live in a fertile climate with access to arable land, yet not respect this land or yourself enough to use it? You should get some chickens for insect control and free fertilizer. Do your deer come in and eat your shit? If so, what do they target?

I did. He and his family own nearly half the surrounding land though. You'll never win a dispute legal dispute against money in America.

I worked at capcom for a year, moved to SF for the job, quit and went back east because i hated SF so much. It's the most overrated city in the world. Nothing good about it.

Can't grow nachos yo.

Tell him that if he continues being a prick you'll be forced to build a fence, which would break up the land and make it ugly. Then build a fence about a foot high, just to stop lawn mowers.

Saskatchewan is going through a big case like this right now, that even grabbed national headlines. A farmer shot and killed a native who was trespassing on his property and Liberals are up in arms about it.

Do you post in the /out/ homegrowmen threads? Swear I've seen this before.

I have at times. /out/ and /diy/ are the only other boards I frequent.

Land is expensive there and I don't like the climate.
I'm thinking in a snowy place with some greenhouses.

I rent this house (collegefag) so I don't have an actual garden, but I have planters to grow herbs in on pretty much every windowsill that can support them. It's really convenient since dried seasonings are pretty expensive around here, and it makes the house smell great.
