The trees in that picture are jacarandas. It's more of a purple since there aren't really any plants that have blue leaves.

hey here are some more marginal considerations. The top-tip of the column is the light-sensitive part, the meristem, the prima materia. That's where the plant is sensing light from and dictates the direction it's gonna grow. A healthy one should look slightly lighter-green than the rest of the plant because it's new tissue. When the plant is not getting enough light there, the growing tip will get thinner than the rest of the plant (pic related). I just moved these ones because they weren't getting proper light. Remember it has to come from above and hit on the top not on the whole plant per se. I have another one that is smothered in vines but is ok because the top sticks over them. Also notice the ribs are really filled out because they got so much water. They don't have to be like this but when a cactus doesn't have enough water the ribs will be slightly soft if you squeeze them. A watered cactus will have its ribs fill out. like the second one I'm showing. Another thing is to make sure the column doesn't get sand or dirt left on it, that will make it go from green and photosynthetic to woody. Happy trails.

It really depends what are your opportunities, if you have garden or not, what type of soil you have or what is available there to plant. I might tell you to always have onions because there is never enough of onions in the house but you might tell me nigger it doesn't even grow here. If you want to plant outside, be very careful about the temperatures and the heat of the sun. If your soil gets dry quickly, the chances are it's too late for planting anything useful. Don't be really scared to ask over at /pol/'s /sig/, they sometimes discuss this shit. I had some charts from there for like what to plant in what time of year, I'm not sure if I can find them, if I have them I will post them for you.

Yes they pretty much grow in any time of the year, even in winter if you have them inside. My brother did it in big scale, but you wont get really anything else than spice out of it, or dry peppers.

Start by growing shit in water. Onions are the easiest because you can practically harvest the stalks every day and put them on your noodles or some shit.

The best thing you can do for your plants is to mulch them - that is, have a layer of organic material covering the soil - leaves, etc. Keeps the soil from drying out and can make gardening virtually maintenance free. I grow kale and I never water. I'm in the South too, so we do get plenty of rain, Compost + mulch = gardening gold

You can't do this actually everywhere because mulch can catch mold in times like when you have wet but hot summer. Then if you but it under berries, currants, even flower, you have to change it because some illnesses can spread to plant itself from that mold. Just a quick protip, depends on your weather conditions.

I went off grid and decided a garden was necessary. Been doing it for 2 years now. We get long summer days this far north which yields quicker vegetables. I store rain water for the dry wildfire months. Typically I don't have to buy potatoes, tomatoes, or carrots for 6 months. Seeds are next to nothing. Weeding the garden is relaxing and meditative like. A cheap tractor with a 3 point tiller makes a big difference. Fuck walk behind Rotor tillers.
I may try my hand at growing cannabis for myself since its legal now.

I agree. That'd be cool as fuck. That's why being buried in a coffin kind of freaks me out. No chance to return to the earth at all.

It happens to me as well. Grass gets high, I have planted plants, I know they are there somewhere but still I sometimes mow them down because I'm idiot. I know people put plastic bottles over those plants so it will be protected if you by mistake go near them with lawn mower but I don't like the idea of having plastic bottles all around my garden.

I'm pretty sure a lawn mower would just go through a plastic bottle in any case. If it's possible you should consider doing without a lawn, they're not very productive at all for human food and don't provide much in the way of habitat for other critters.

I am not creating a drug factory or anything
I just wondered if those things only grow in Helmland or if they can grow in yurop too
This time I planted them not in usual pots but 3 plants in giantic quadratic pot. With lots of soil.
I did not even use fertillizers up until now. yet, the upper and lower plant have 3 pods each. Last year I only had 1 per plant and they were tiny tiny.
The middle plant is still growing, the stick is really thick already, nearly wooden even. I hope this one grows giantic. I also read there is the Giganteum breed for maximum size. Maybe I should get those seeds also
you need hectars of this crap to yield a 1kg brick
and every single plant you need to lance with hand work no work for lazy neet
no wonder we outsource this crap work to india and afghenistan

Here is youre golf ball notice the pun BO-san
This one got really big, it is the biggest one. The petals were completely white, without those purple accents also, for your /pol/ white fetishists. Of this one I will keep all seeds for next season.
It also blossomed first of all my plants. This year was really insane. I had one plant where 5 or 6 petals grew out of one stick. Never had that before. That is actually the plant from the previous pic. The white purple one. I read it is already seldom when 2 or 3 heads are growing out of one stick. Of this plant I also keep all the seeds for next season.
Oh yeas and I used fertillizer so maybe this was the reason they got so big
to you FBI fags who lurk, no it was not ANFO fertilizer and I do not intend to bake a cake or go to a wedding ;^)

it is illegal to plant them in Goymany yes, they are so cucked even when it comes to plants

My cactuses seem to have germinated as well. I saw a few green ones and a few brown ones
Brown like last year when they all died. So I am trying to find out if it is too much direct sunlight or too much humidity that kills them.
