  • Is gardening as a whole a hit and miss when trying to get a good harvest?

  • How often and during what time of day would you used the soap based spray? I usually use it sometime before the sunsets. Yeah we grew some Nasturtiums to attract aphids away from the actually crops, seems to do the job, plus any ladybirds we find in our garden I usually pick them up and put them where the aphids are and watch them go wild lol.

    We have some coffee grounds saved up since my sister works at a coffee shop and she takes them home, do they work? Apparently they do, but not as effectively from what I've read, maybe I need to do more research on that part. Other than that yeah, usually check the soil if it's dry and needs watering and do the regular feeding.

  • Long beans? That's not a bad shout tbh, we'll try that next year for sure. Yeah the weather seems to be the main issue with mine and everyone else's problems this year. You win some you lose some is right!

  • So basically we started growing at a bad year for it then hehe? All kidding aside, the only ones that seem to thriving (so far) are the ones in pots, tatsois, some strawberries and cherry tomatoes, basils, parsleys, sage and spring onion and sunflowers to name a few but I feel like they're surface level crops I'm guessing (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong 😅)? So the endgame of this point is to try again next year and hope the seasons are better than this year's? We've got some poly tunnels or covers for the coming colder seasons and to prevent pests, but that'll be another story lol. Shotgun approach? I like the idea haha, just might grow different things and see what grows like you said 👍🏽 we grew some courgettes some grew to a good size but some just were too small for it to be used for anything. Other than that the strawberries and cherry tomatoes and others are doing fine.

  • I see! I had a hunch this year's climate had something to do with it, it was weird indeed, not so much success with the crops from what I've seen with other posts elsewhere, mostly diseased crops which is unfortunate. We tried checking regularly and made sure to water regularly and feed also, but only time will tell if anything comes up, especially whilst trying with out cucumbers and melons/squashed. With pests, we have some Nasturtiums, a couple pots about. We don't get many pests seeing as the Nastys seem to attract the pests which is what they're for from what I've read. Other than that the only pest we encounter are eggs from cabbage moths? From the tatsoi plants we're trying to grow, had some pakchoys grown earlier but the caterpillars got to them, forgot to check them until it was too late. Regarding if we grew from the ground or not, yes we grew it from small pots first, determined which ones grew and just "died" and moved the growing ones into a sizeable pot to grow.

    Sorry if that seemed too wordy, I tried to be as specific as I could. I appreciate your comment, it was nicely put, basically told me what I needed to know 💯

  • We started growing some plants a bit late into late spring, early summer seasons, luckily some grew but not to perfect size, the cherry tomatoes we have are growing nicely but I hear the 2nd year is going to be better, also same with the strawberries. But the ones struggling are courgettes and melons and the cucumbers too. I could try planting some garlic and onions but I think I'm too late into the season now, maybe next year perhaps?

  • No we didn't have the chance to set up any shade cloths, should we have done so? I know you can set them up during colder seasons but I dunno much if you could during hotter seasons also.

  • Yeah, I guess you could say we're level 1 noobs here for now 😂 hoping next year's climate is better if not, just keep trying on our end 👍🏽

  • The strawberries we're growing seems to be fine, but the cucumbers and courgettes seem to be struggling, some courgettes grew fine but they were on the smaller size. The melons are starting to grow but it's just a wait and see kind of situation if it actually grows or not.

    I guess the takeaway here is to keep trying I guess and hope the next year's seasons are better. Thank you.

  • I don't blame you, you still get to play the game at its best if not, it's most simplest game, plus you get to see your Mii characters walking around Coconut Mall on Wii, not so much in MK8 apparently 😂

  • You know what I hated? When you're playing online and you red shell someone, their kart is meant to spin and their character all annoyed and whatnot and this will at least waste them 5 seconds at least but in this case no, they just spin for a bit and suddenly keep going.

  • There was a moment on twitter where someone was selling t shirts using an image of Mario with iced out grillz and watch, not even later someone probably mass reported the guy tagging Nintendo and then lo and behold their account was gone lmao.
