Hey everyone.. I have been trying to find some plants to put outside of my apartment in a plant box I'm going to attach to the balcony railing.. It will get a LOT of sun, and I'm very forgetful at times when it comes to watering regularly.
Any advice on something that wont die, wont grow all over the place, and does not need a lot of love? Bag of miracle grow soil, vermiculite and perlite, to help keep aerated and retain moisture. Something with a woody stem will be a hardy plant and might do better . With a little love and care most anything will do.

You're gonna have to water until the plants get established but portulaca (rose moss) , cacti and succulents like "hen and chicks" will all do well with minimal watering.

Go ahead and till some good manure into your soil and get the soil tested.

Just finished canning my first pickles. Tomorrow's agenda includes blackberry jelly and salsa. One bad thing , though, my serranos aren't hot this year. What's the deal ? Are they breeding a "heatless" serrano now or have I finally burned out my pain receptors ? 
Maranatha !

I'm gonna guess that the water jugs were put there early in the season so they could absorb heat during the day and keep the plants warm at night.
What kind of corn is that ?

What kind of corn is that ? I was thinking the same. The corn looks huge also. Does the garden use chemical or organic fertilizers?

Are they breeding a "heatless" serrano now or have I finally burned out my pain receptors ? I don't know...I haven't eaten any yet...My uncle has said the same thing about the cayenne peppers...Neither his nor the ones I grew taste 'right' according to him...

I don't know...I haven't eaten any yet...My uncle has said the same thing about the cayenne peppers...Neither his nor the ones I grew taste 'right' according to him... I remember reading somewhere that different pepper varieties can cross pollinate; meaning that if you grow jalapenos next to say... sweet banana peppers, and they happen to cross pollinate, you can have milder jalapenos and/or hotter banana peppers. But unless you have trained pollinators, it is difficult to control the result.
What part of "uphold the constitution" don't they understand?

supposedly it's all organic. Not sure what kind of corn, but it was about 3x the size of mine. I was thinking maybe early in the season they put plastic around the whole cage to make a mini greenhouse and then they just leave them there? http://oursaviourdallas.org/our-saviour-dallas-community-garden/There wasn't anyone around to ask ??
The day after catching a lot of fish is still a good day.
