I thought about growing vegetables in order to better weather the coming crises which may be quite difficult, I thought about it a few months ago, but after learning how much I would have to learn, I thought, oh, all this information is spinning my head. Where should I start? What fertilizers to use, how not to overpay money and other resources? How to stretch soil fertility as long as possible and is it possible not to be physically exhausted in the process? Time is also running out.
Well, as a result, my brain subconsciously abandoned this idea, well, I was too used to a comfortable life and food from the supermarket. And so it has been for four months.
I know I’m pathetic. I haven’t even bought seeds yet.
Pick something relatively easy to grow (tomatoes are pretty straightforward in many places), and just try to get produce from it.
Once you have a result, then you can look at improving your approach.
No point running before you can walk, you’re only going to be able to learn so much without actually trying stuff. Plus, if you already have soil to put stuff in, you’re starting out better than I did. My stuff is growing in pots.
You’re getting a bit late in the year to maximise most crops (if northern hemisphere) but that doesn’t mean there’s no point, so just throw shit at the wall to see what sticks. Seeds are cheap, and failed plants can still make compost as well as provide a learning opportunity
