Hi all, New member to the forum here
I guess I'm a covid gardener. After being sent to work from home in March, I needed something to do with the extra time normally spent commuting so I start flowers, then veggies and got a wild hair and decided to grow my hubby some weed (none for me, I'm allergic) around May.
I think I got lucky that they all didn't die. I did little to no research, used both some random seeds hubby kept for years (he always meant to, but never started a grow) and ordered more random seeds online. I got basic advice about feeding from a friend who did some growing years ago because I figured "plants is plants". I didn't do any serious googling/research until late July and was horrified at my lack of knowledge. I found this site about a month and a half ago and compared to all the sites I was looking at before, I feel like I've found a prince after going thru a lot of frogs.
I have so many regrets. I didn't keep track of dates, which plants were which, when they flowered, nothing. I am enjoying myself though and plan on being a bit (a lot) more careful next year. Here are some of my garden babies--the bell peppers or jalapenos don't rate on this site--but I have no idea which is what. I hope things go well for me next year--this is just as satisfying as growing food. I plan on using this site and forum quite a bit.
Happy to be here and hope to pick up lots of advice with a minimum of stupid questions
