Fuck that noise.

Someone explain to me why I have one thyme plant that is thriving, and one that is totally fucked and dead? I love thyme, and I need more of it!
Fucked if I know. I had the same issue with Basil. Love that fresh Basil
I have two Carolina Jasmine as well... for aesthetics. In one corner of the yard - absolutely crushing it - twelve paces away, very meh results. Gardening is hard and stupid, and I am learning to understand why being good at gardening was considered a form of witchcraft.
HAIL!

Her needs America so they won't just take his shit away like in some pussy non gun totting countries can happen.

Nitrogen. Plant garlic near it and see what happened
Both are in a planter box, so there isn't a lot drainage... do I need the garlic to grow, or just die near the suffering plant?
Yes

Michael Bloomberg says it's easy and any idiot can do it. Just drop the seed in the dirt and cover it up.

I feel like you are trolling me, and let me tell you, it has worked, because I have never been more fired up and pissed about something I have read online.

50lbs of seed potatoes are set out to bud.
100lbs of blood meal in the mail ($1/lb), and 400lb of composted manure secured (.02/lb)
50 lbs of seed potatoes...……….. You're going full on Irish sustenance there.

Tell me about Blood meal. What is your application rate, how do you use it ?
It’s dried blood from the slaughterhouse, and very high in nitrogen. That, and alkalinity have been my bane in this garden. Too much damn clay, and I’d have to mix in a dump truck of soil to really fix it.
I’ve been working it for about 5 years, and it’s improving slowly.

I worked out that I’ve got roughly 5,000 sq ft of garden, so that came to 100lbs of it. Planning to just spread it out along with the compost before I till.

Basil and oregano have turned out to be really easy. Grapevines on the other hand are definitely not.

Cool. I might give it a try.

I got my tiller for my tractor. Did a little work on it so I could use it this Spring, but the price was right.

Gear box was filled with water.

I cleaned everything up and greased everything. It's an old Howard. New models of the same size are around $3000. I bought it from a neighbor when I was growing up. Well, he only wanted an afternoon drinking whiskey, but I bought him a half gallon of Crown anyway.

The tiller tines are pretty well shot. I will need to replace them. I'm glad I have it anyway. 48" of tilling in one pass.

I can grow mint without even trying... it is un-kill-able, except the bugs get at it, which, whatever, I don't use much mint.

Now, Rosemary... it is a weed, and people use it for landscaping, but I don't want it to take over, so I try to confine it, and it just dries up and dies. Fucking Rosemary - supposed to be the easiest damn herb around.
