everyone's garden look so nice and organized! it serves as inspiration and learning experience. This is my first time trying to grow anything and it has been a roller coaster ride. I am getting excited with the little milestones that may not mean much to others, but does to me:)
https://imgur.com/3Tmh2bB this is the first pepper flower!-.- I know not much, but I was feeling hopeless with my pepper plants since they kind of stopped growing and then I saw the tiny flower and was amazed.
Now I am thinking of planning for fall, I have some strawberries in a container and was thinking of bring it indoors for the winter. I am thinking of planting garlic since my family really like garlic. I want to try to grow some lettuce, but I don't know what kind of lettuce will do good in my area. Any suggestions? thanks:)

You just summed up the transformation my mind has undergone in the past few years, since planting my first garden about 4 years ago. Oh to be free of the burden of money, and just to be able to farm....joed2323 wrote:gardening is addicting, its a healthy addiction, ive traded in my bad addictions in the past and this is my hobby that calms my nerves, and soothes the soul. I can be stressed out and pissed off, come home from work and take a stroll thru the garden, even picking weeds, makes me happy.
Every year, my garden expands, more and more, this may sound silly, but I want my shot at being a farmer, except I only want to grow vegetables, and work the farmers markets, and maybe sell to local resturants if I'm lucky. Looking at the supermarkets and seeing how much $ bell peppers, and the colored bell peppers are, makes a person wonder if you could make some extra bucks at growing vegetables.
I know farming doesnt make you rich, but as long as you can make ends meet and pay the bills, id be happy turning my backyard into something I could make some money off of, instead of spending 2 hours cutting grass
