Relaxed Lester's Garden Photos

This thread is one of my favorite reads of the day.

Thanks for posting, relaxedlester.

Thank you very much Radogast, your welcome, that means a lot to me! :circle-of-love:

I love your thread. Thanks for sharing for all of us further north (just shy of 49N here). I have some tomato plants that are close to that big, but they are in the bathroom under flourescents haha

We're planting all our 'early' plants this weekend, but won't put the tenders out for another couple weeks yet.



LOL I hear you. My basement is sorta stalled. Partially due to bad timing/circumstance, but I've also let it linger a bit. We're pretty busy trying to get everything ready for the garden. I almost started some new MJ seeds several weeks ago, but I'm glad I got smart and waited until after the spring planting is done. :blalol:

You too! Thank you for the kind words. I am glad you could enjoy my garden photos, and that you sympathize how difficult it can be to be a serious vegetable gardener at the same time as cannabis and every other fruiting beauty in the garden! We give the ones that deserve priority most, after all garlic and potatoes are not nearly as expensive as our precious medicinal herb :Namaste: It's so great to see plants of all different kinds grown from little tiny seeds into something that provides food and medicine. It is quite an extraordinary feeling, how lovely it is to be a resident of Mother Earth! :high-five:
 
I have my tomato plants by the windowsill, 3 beefsteak tomato plants and 3 cherry tomato plants. I'll probably get a jalapeno pepper sprout and a strawberry sprout from the store. I'll also plant basil, cilantro, and dill later on since they flower and go sour quicker than tomatoes. do you mind if I post pictures of their progress in this journal? what do you say?

I also had some flower bulbs in the fridge so I threw a couple in the flower beds outside. it's raining almost all week so I hope they sprout next week when the sun comes out :thumb:

I'm also trying to get a avocado pit to sprout, but not having success.
 
Sure, feel free to also post your garden photos here as well! :passitleft:

Would love to see what you are growing.

I would like you to see our massive climbing rose bush (tree now). This is what people in in England plant around their fences/perimeter to keep people from climbing over their walls, nobody wants to climb through these things lol. Big and beautiful, this pic is from a few days ago and there are even more blooms on it now so I'll get another pic when I'm wandering the garden. Followed by more rose blooms and tortoise shots.

Hi Lester,

Subbed up!

:Namaste:
 
Hey Lester, can I borrow your dandelion remover for a couple days. :)

He would be having a great day in my yard right now. When I was in socal, a buddy had a desert tortoise, and he LOVED dandelion blooms. It was like crack for him!

Wish I could have one of those guys cruising my backyard, but it's a little chilly up here half the year. :blalol:
 
I am thinking that rose 'tree' would be great for a nice security perimeter around the yard, thinking of the devastation a ripper would face hopping a fence into one of them... BOOM!! Puncture, puncture, puncture, Yikes :laugh: In this case.. a slow arrival of the PD would be awesome, sit there and laugh at the ripper, kick the rippers feet out from underneath... "do you like my flowers" :popcorn: "not anymore".

Hope you are having a relaxed tuesday Les :peace:

HAHA, Great comment buddy! He is our little mower. We had to stop feeding him banana, he got a belly bulge now lol :rofl: I think he knows the ultimate thing is the iceberg lettuce, it has so much water in it. He smells it, and if he thinks its not fresh he will literally stomp on it and walk away. Real interesting animal, more he is interested in the Universe around him. He loves green bean leaves absolutely, he will clean up fallen rose pedals, and loves the red habsicus. I have even one time had to lay a "cookie crumb trail" which was actually a rose pedal trail around the bricks for him, he's always trying to get into all the different areas of the yard to see whats up. Take a few bites here and there, real smart animal can tell the difference between things real well. He looks at us looking at him through the house window. When he was young he used to hike up this little hill we have, which goes up about 15-20 feet at steep slope, probably about 45 degrees. He used to come tumbling down the hill at high velocity because he would lose grip at the top, we were afraid he'd crack his shell open so we had to start watching him more closely. He also cleans up some of the weeds that grow through the cracks in the bricks. He loves to run through the sprinklers in the morning and then sit in the sun all wet. Lately he has been doing things we've never seen, for instance trying to get in through the glass door, since he doesn't see the glass he things he can get it, so he was banging on the door trying to get in and see whats up. Real persistent animal, he will try for hours to get into a planter bed, eyeing and doing recon to see where there might be a weak spot, one time he finally figured it out and we found him in there eating all the strawberries and was just about to mow down our homegrown lettuce for salads :rofl: So it's a real interesting dynamic between the tortoise and the cat.

Oh Yeah you get those things lined up around your perimter you can guarantee no ones gonna climb over that thing twice, he'll they'd get hurt real bad if they fell in one. Too bad it takes 40 years to grow such a beast :rofl:

getting started :high-five:

Looking real fresh! Time to get things in gear aye? :cheertwo:

Shiny clean b.real:bravo:

Off to a good start :high-five:
Yeah! :thumb:

I love the tortoise pics. :circle-of-love:

Thanks! It's wonderful to be reminded of the ancient way of life everyday, one where dinosaurs ruled the lands. :Namaste:
 
hehe I guess I never thought about how active they are, but my buddy's was always out and about... :)

I guess I would have to make sure he didn't get into my garden. Hadn't thought about that. Just wish I had one cruising around my backyard.

Where did you get him? My buddy got his when it fell into someone's pool. Sort of a rescue. He studied wildlife biology, and somehow he was asked to nurse it back to health. He used to joke that he had bad lungs from smoking too much turtle weed. :winkyface:


Edit: btw, I had thought about sharing my garden pics, but I'm not going to. Sorry. My town is way too small and those types of pictures would make it pretty easy to identify me. While legal, it's a rather conservative community, so discretion is a priority for me.
 
thanks radogast!

yeah relaxed lester, getting the ball rolling :)

the weather over here is still pretty odd. it gets cold and very windy.
 
Awesome pictures. 'Spring" = "Renewal"

:green_heart:
 
Beautiful garden pictures Lester. You already have tomato blossoms. Happy Thurweed DAy
