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.
Just take it easy. Put a seed in some dirt and water that spot once a day.
Green beans are really easy where I live near lake Erie. Theyre the only crop I direct sow.
I buy the bush variety of everything so I dont have to fuck with poles and trellises.
Also, you could decide this year to just buy the starts from a local greenhouse – those are plants that are already half grown. Growing from seed is harder than just planting something thats already established.
But yeah, end of the day, its just putting a seed in dirt and adding water.
