I keep trying to structure threads outside of news to be like news. It's a well-driven habit so much that I opened a tab prematurely to look for a source and header picture for this, lol.
Anyways, I've been in Oregon for about a week now, and coming from Texas, it's insane how different it is here. No smog, clean tap water, people walk around outside, no oppressive humid weather, etc. But most drastically of all, you see all these people gardening! My grandparents have a whole setup here, with a backyard chock full of fruits and veggies and spices. Mint, blueberries, plums, tomatoes, and tons upon tons of pretty flowers like petunias. It makes me want to go back home and start my own garden, seeing as I have about 8,000 sqft of backyard lot that goes unused. Alas, Houston TX is a bit to humid for what I wish to plant.
But that got me thinking. Anyone else here on GBAtemp into planting and gardening? I just helped plant a cantaloupe sprout, and I found it super therapeutic and fun. What do you like to plant, and what season and climate does it grow best in?
