by gardening. not as unique a hobby as fanediting movies, but the peacefulness that comes with it is a decent (though partial) antidote to stressing over the extreme abnormality of american politics. trump and his stooges drove me to discover my green thumb, haha.
part of the fun is geeking out over various plants and their individual needs and tendencies. over the past few weeks, i've acquired a shitload of knowledge about growing blackberries in containers, about primocane fruiting and floricane fruiting, about tipping and pruning to increase fruit yield; now i just have to apply this knowledge and not kill my young plants.
currently growing:
— basil
— serrano peppers
— a mystery pepper, probably a thai variety
— chives
— and blackberries, glorious motherfuckin' blackberries. no fruit so far, but maybe in a few months. . . .
my current hero: dr. john clark of the university of arkansas. he's bred a thornless, erect blackberry that fruits twice a year.
any of you mofos garden as well? this is the thread for discussing what you're growing! (marijuana and otherwise.)
