The one I go to makes sorbet and gelato.

Yes, but it's way expensive compared to the grocer. I've been in it once and wasn't really impressed with what they had.
|
I keep being told to go to Trader Joe's but never been. I think the nearest is like a half hour away. There's a big health food place about 45 mins from me that's amazing too.

What is Trader Joe's? |

Mm, it's kind of hit or miss with our produce. Some times they're okay, other times they're quick to spoil. I planted some seeds in this little starter kit but I think the funky weather shocked them. :gonk: And now I can't find the packets. > A> |
I want to make a garden really bad. A veggie one, I mean. I haven't had one since I was a kid. But I don't think there is a spot for one here. Dog runs in the backyard and destroys plants, as dogs tend to do (and I don't have the money to fence a spot off or anything) and there is no place in the front yard. :(

I found this neat post about small-space gardening. :ninja: I am tempted!
|
Iku: Are you after my veggie "chicken" now too? :ninja:
You can use almost anything to plant plants in as long as it can accommodate the adult plant. :) I get my seedlings from a local nursery, it's easier than seeds and I've had better luck with most veggies. If you do a Google search there's so many cute ideas out there for small space gardens. I found one that had herbs in reused coffee cans that were painted all these pretty colours. I'm tempted to do that next year and hang them along my fence. |
Am I the only one who hates those upside-down tomato planters? xD
|
@Myst: I'll eat anything as long as I like it. :ninja: -sneaks around-
Baah, I need to find my seeeds. I don't know what the heck I did with them.. XDD If any of them did well, I could maybe have put them into the coffee can I have. :c |
Easiest thing to plant: Watermelon.
My mom used to eat it on the back porch and spit the seeds into this bush plant thing. And a watermelon plant just sprung up like CRAZY! It invaded the bush! xD Didn't bury the seed, didn't feed it, didn't water it. And yet it grew pretty decent-sized watermelons! They weren't very tasty, but that's probably because she didn't care for it at all. But it doesn't get much easier to plant than that! |
Key: I the hangers too for tomatoes at least. They cause root rot really easy so you can't put too much water in them. And yes! I love water melon but they take over everything. I'm expanding my garden again and making a melon patch for next year.
Iku: I thought this was a cute idea too with mini buckets. http://i47.tinypic.com/1zela0x.jpg |
Those are cute! They would be perfect for herbs :)
|
Yep or lettuces too. :) I'm looking at something cute to go along my fence for next year. I have this really ugly privacy fence that's all around my yard and one side of it gets good sun most the day. I figure why not try to add colour to it and make it pretty?

My Arizona friend had a Trader Joe's and brought back DELICIOUS strawberry licorice. :drool: I want themmm~
|
The old fashioned kid? If it's the same kind I'm thinking of that stuff is awesome!
|
Ooh licorice! :drool:
I haven't had licorice in a long time. |
Trader Joe's is made of awesome.
|
Good evening everyone! :) What's Trader Joe's?

Superstition: Trader Joe's is like... A convenience store? It has food goodies in it, that's all I know.
|
It's a natural foods store sortof. Like a miniature grocer, but with more frozen stuff.
|
I always forget to eat melon when I buy it too or I'll eat half of it and have to give the rest to my sister.

Trader Joe's sounds like a good place! Wonder if there's one near here..... |
Trader Joe's sells mostly their own brand so costs are low.
