Also we are well into spring (at least in the northern hemisphere), why is this sub so dead? Gardening is praxis, even if you don't have much outdoor space you can always stick tomatoes and peppers in containers! That's how I got started.
The deer, rabbits, and rodents in my area are absolutely brutal (cursed suburbs) so I have to keep that in mind with everything I grow.
I didn't get a chance to set up a proper veggie garden this year, so I'm mixing in a few with my flower beds. Jalapenos, plum and brandywine tomatoes, pickling cucumbers, and basil.
For flowers I am trying to stick to natives or their hybrids/cultivated versions as much as possible. I sowed poppy, larkspur, calendula, marigolds, nemophila, nasturtium, and sunflowers directly in the dirt, and most of them have sprouted already, which is a pleasant surprise since it's the first time I've direct sowed and I really didn't expect much to grow.
I started columbine, catmint, coleus, cosmos, snapdragons, delphinium, lavender, milkweed, and a ton of foxglove in trays. They are all about ready to go in the ground here in 7A, except for the lavender which is slow as shit.
Ordered a ton of daffodils and alliums to plant in the fall since those never get touched by hungry animals.
Also growing some shrooms for the first time in my basement but I don't know if it counts for this sub lol
Houseplants are great. I always neglect mine over the winter, they are on the porch for late spring through early fall but I have to keep them locked up in a room where the cats can't commit suicide with them, and if they are out sight I tend to skip waterings 😕
I don't have cats which makes it easier, though winter does wreak havoc on mine since it gets really cold by my windows and my radiators will dry them to death if they're anywhere near them. I managed pretty well this winter though. My biggest issue has been overwatering them actually. Had some pretty bad fungus gnats last summer but I got em under control. I feel like a millennial Instagram ad sometimes with all these houseplants but they look nice and they make me happy.
