It’s Springtime! In the northern hemisphere, at least!
I have become fascinated lately with the growing of plants, especially vegetable gardens, although I have had little hands-on experience with it throughout my life! The growing of plants has been the backbone of humanity ever since time immemorial. It is necessary for our survival, health, and is wonderful for recreation. Unlike having to resort to slaughtering animals for food, plants willingly give forth their fruit with their hearts wide open, and the consumption of their fruits by animals often helps plants, for it carries their seeds to new places.
If you garden flowers, that is nice too,
but this year I’m concerned with creating gardens with beans, carrots, corn, and even one bell pepper plant! I bought the bell pepper plant already growing, for everything else I bought seed packets.
Originally I really wanted to grow beans, because even as a kid, I used to take beans from a bag in our kitchen drawer and try to grow them, and I some success on one occasion!
But when I was looking at seed packets, I saw one of a sweet red corn hybrid that looked absolutely fascinating to me, much more fascinating than white and yellow corn! I am now eager to grow a garden of red corn someplace in my backyard; I have plenty of room, a decent sized plot should be no big deal!
Is anyone else around here a gardener? Anyone want to share tips, experiences, or just wanna talk about gardening?
