HELP! Growing Food Fails, a Cat and my Kid upside down.

in homesteading •  7 years ago 

Hey guys. I was just out and about visiting my should be plants by now. Unfortunately they are still a pile of dirt. I don't know what I am doing wrong, maybe I just have a green mind rather than a green thumb. I wad inspired to make this post after having seen @deeverei post something about aquaponics which I heard so much about.

So here is my dillema.

Empty lettuce. Some of these are spanning 3 weeks.

These are the seed packets I have tried.

This is the only vegetation I was able to produce so far. And I don't know but from the looks of it. Well you be the judge.

So yes I want to try a new hobby. Trying to get myself a pinch of zen and achieving inner peace. Something Po from KUNG FU PANDA was able to do.

So if you guys have any tips for me, you are more than welcome to school me on the art of planting as I am desperate on knowing how to start.

Thanks guys and as always stay cool upvote follow and resteem. Here's a pic of a passing by cat chillin like a villain. I am sure he is waiting for me to start with my aquaponics project.

Thanks for having me.

You can check out those websites I cited on my recent blog post. Thanks for the mention, I know my name is hard to spell haha.

I definitely will. And despite the difficult spelling mentioning your name was worth every copy paste. Haha. As the post you had was awesome as it was inspiring.

Thanks so much! Glad you appreciated it! :))

@deveerei
nice comment...you seem to be very resourceful here... will check you out

I would cover the sowed seeds in plastic bags to keep the moisture in and a good amount of direct sunlight! 🍀

@the3whiskerteers
sure... nice comment and you seem to be quite into this also...keep it up

How deep should i be planting lettuce seeds? I managed to cover them with a plastic cover. They get about 2 hrs sun in the morning but shaded the rest of the day.. minimal during rainy days like a few days back

beautiful mum...cute baby and kitty...

Thanks alot. I am in need of all the help i can get

Sure and you deserve all the helps... Keep steeming hot and find time to check my blog posts too 😎

I sure will!

good choice as i updated today also.... keep steeming hot

I followed you and I am very very interested in your current posts. Do you have a tip to a first time germination of lettuce typically in a hot weather?

Do you raise quails or eat their eggs? Updated on it's benefits today 😋

Do you mean fertilizing ... For me i prefer aquaponics on vegetables or using fish tank water to water it... Thanks for the following
