About what? My great dislike of summer heat and bugs? The tomato plants I stuck in the ground? Pony butts sinking into snow ever so slowly to make an imprint?
Store bought tomatoes are terrible, so we usually grow our own most years. It doesn't help much, since they take so long to grow, but around august we tend to get some tomatoes in. They taste vastly better than the bland flavorless garbage that you can buy at a store and while they take a while they aren't hard to grow if you have a sunny spot and water, maybe some calcium and mulch as well depending on what you grow them in.
Planting two types of tomatoes this year. One is a "celebrity" tomato. I've never had it, but it was there so whatever. The other is from a packet of "Flamingo Hybrid" seeds I bought in 2016. The flamingo are basically grape tomatoes, maybe a little bigger. They are a bit sweeter than some grapes and I enjoyed them. One of the few I could eat without adding salt to.
I tried planting asparagus in the past, destroyed by beetles. I planted raspberries, which did alright but eventually became a tangled mess of poorly growing things that I hated picking anyway. I've tried peas, but they have never grown well. Radishes are easy enough, but who cares, they are radishes. I can't eat many radishes. Most of those I do eat are with ramen noodles as sort of a crunch element. Carrots have never done wonderfully for me. Strawberries did ok, but bending down to pick them is hard on my back and with the invasion of buffalo gnats it's horrible going outside while they are ripe. Overall, gardening SUCKS, but the results can be ok with tomatoes.
I have been thinking of doing some myself, mostly just herbs and stuff for cooking as I don't have much space. Could maybe put some planters and buckets on my balcony. Just want some basic stuff like parsley, basil, dill etc. Not sure if that would go well tho in the climate I am in.
You would need to have a sunny balcony with several hours of sunlight. Not sure how much herbs need, but you can freely look it up. Temperature also matters. Watering them might become annoying over time, especially on hot days. Might need two to three waterings a day depending on how big the planters are and how much water the material around them holds. While you CAN get better results with growing your own, it's cheaper and more consistent in the long run just to buy it.
The only thing I'm could complain about these days is the weather.
What are you up to?
