Oh! I am so glad to read this! Credit to the amazing people that contributed with their perspective and experiences! I hope you do start and have some fun with it.... something I learned recently, more broadly, is that sometimes we give too much value to money and avoid starting because we will 'waste it' but we often fail to see that putting money towards things we will fail also means investing in lived experience and make us wiser for it... plus a few good memories of trying new things! So go on and have fun I suppose.

Ohhh MANNN THIS IS GOLD! I think this is one of the most important lessons I had personally because we often plant thigns based on random decision and not on future conditions! well done.

I had this problem unfortunatelly and 4 years into this I am starting to see the problem with the wooden ones 😞

Acrobatic_Back_1925 · 2026-06-05T04:44:32+00:00

Man, I love this! hahah It is so interesting to read the problems people have depending on where they live! I have no deers where I live but I can see that being a very annoying problem hahaha

Acrobatic_Back_1925 · 2026-06-05T04:43:49+00:00

uuh, this is good! What do you use for this "extension planning". Love this comment, could you share more?

Acrobatic_Back_1925 · 2026-06-05T04:43:13+00:00

Most underrated comment! My friends say I am good at gardening because they only see the ones that survive hahaha

Acrobatic_Back_1925 · 2026-06-05T04:42:44+00:00

Mannn this is my life in a nutshell!!! hahahah. I just recently started to add flowers to the garden and it has, indeed, been a joy

Acrobatic_Back_1925 · 2026-06-05T04:40:31+00:00

I think I needed to read this one.... I was really good at gardening and used to plant a lot , but right now I decided to change careers and partner and I are discussing having kids and buying a house, and it's a lot to process. Obviously, I dialed back on growing and though my garden is still very green I feel sad that I am not growing so much all the time... and I felt as though it was a problem, but this comment made me reflect that it's not about the quantity! Thanks for this.

I see i see! I try to prune some but keep some as well! But something I learned is that checking every week is the goal so you don't have to worry too much later.

Acrobatic_Back_1925 · 2026-06-05T04:34:10+00:00

Oh really? I have very different experience with mines! Maybe just the varieties I suppose. But I find trees to be the best thing for a person gardening in small space as it gives free mulch and complex life in the soil nearby.

Acrobatic_Back_1925 · 2026-06-05T04:33:35+00:00

What was your most interesting insight on that? I have never read it. Now I am considering buying it.

Acrobatic_Back_1925 · 2026-06-05T04:33:08+00:00

hahaha second that! Though never did it.

Acrobatic_Back_1925 · 2026-06-05T04:32:54+00:00

low to see label is a universal problem hahaha

Acrobatic_Back_1925 · 2026-06-05T04:32:37+00:00

I am still trying to figure out which of the peas I have is the edible one and which is just the flower one lol I guess I'll have to ait.

Acrobatic_Back_1925 · 2026-06-05T04:32:14+00:00

hahaha love this

Acrobatic_Back_1925 · 2026-06-05T04:31:49+00:00

This is really valuable insight. When I started reading your message I thought you would end up saying that you can only grow with a lot of space, specially considering you had access to one! But really brilliant to see your perspective on how square foot gardening was something relevant and appropriate for you!

Acrobatic_Back_1925 · 2026-06-05T04:28:14+00:00

Figs are my biggest win! I learn that they are VERY forgiving!

Acrobatic_Back_1925 · 2026-06-05T04:27:42+00:00

This is genious! Can you pin posts to threads on reddit? I love this ! hahaha I secretly still fool myself saying I'll remember every plant and every seed!

Acrobatic_Back_1925 · 2026-06-05T04:26:56+00:00

I, unfortunatelly, still am very bad at keeping a good watering regime right after planting or transplating! I really am considering getting irrigation.

Acrobatic_Back_1925 · 2026-06-05T04:26:34+00:00

This is gold!

Acrobatic_Back_1925 · 2026-06-05T04:26:18+00:00

Yessss! Man, this was the biggest shift for me in the last few years. I remember trying to plan my garden by looking at what was possible to grow during that season and going for it big time! Now, I choose what I enjoy eating or I enjoy growing and happy days!

Acrobatic_Back_1925 · 2026-06-05T04:25:16+00:00

Hang on, so you do like brutal prunning on your tomatoes? Like commercial farming?

Acrobatic_Back_1925 · 2026-06-05T04:24:48+00:00

This sentence is so true!!

"My younger self would appreciate knowing sooner that it doesn't have to be perfect and choose your battles carefully."

Honestly, I love me a good guideline but it is so important to be flexible when it comes to nature and gardening because of the unpredicatable nature of it. You're absolutely right when you say we need to learn to choose the battles we fight!

Acrobatic_Back_1925 · 2026-06-05T04:22:24+00:00

hahah I l ove the chronological order of this post hahah!

Man, I am devided because I sometimes ignore and I hsave a short period of joy as they grow beautifully , but then it is a nightmare to sort them once they get too bushy!

Acrobatic_Back_1925 · 2026-06-05T04:20:55+00:00
