Yeah I’m not satisfied though, because lettuce is commonly eaten here. I want to grow crops that we eat. Some of the mixed lettuces down the far end have gone into a couple of salads so they have been ok but they went berserk too
So I guess it’s option one you gave, have another go
It does seem like a fun hobby. But not one for me. I live in a second-story condo and my balcony gets too much sunlight. It even scorched an aloe plant I set out, and by the time I put it in the partial shade, it was too late.
I did have success with cherry tomatoes. The 10 my single plant produced made a nice snack after months of waiting.
Yeah nah you’re good, i did miss the reference but now you raise it, yeah.
Cheers, yeah the tomatoes are booming since I repotted those. I’m in a bit of a war with boring insects in my pumpkins but a couple of those are coming through too.
But it’s back to the drawing board with the leaf veges. They might have to be done in a raised bed
Yeah it’s a complete write off
I feel terrible. I have failed as a farmer
Everyone fails at farming. Some keep at it until they stop falling at it. Or move to a different crop.

Which is why it’s not going to solve the problem of a food crisis right now. Farming is a skill that takes practice.
Look, I’ll say this much, it’s been fun giving it a go. My lettuces are shit but other things have worked and to be fair I’ve been pretty lazy.

Wasn’t talking about the latest distraction. Was talking about lettuce.
Farming takes zero skill. The first step to getting good at farming requires basic reading skills.
them why did none of my shit grow when I put a lot of effort into it
I didn’t mean to insult your skills as a farmer, it was a reference to Little Shop of Horrors where the plant acquires a taste for human blood.
It appears you have big, leafy plants. That’s a success, even if you don’t like how they look yet.
