>>22949704>>22949705I spent four grand on ten raised beds and topsoil, filled them by hand, and farmed them for three years. I had some minor successes. Got some beans, watermelon, tomatoes, onions, peppers, serranos, beets, peas, spinach, lettuce, probably a few other things I forgot.
But the yield was just so small compared to the money and labor that went into it, and I'm not in the best of health.
What really broke my heart were my attempts to grow Invicta gooseberries. I tried each of the three years and never got a single one. (The first year the plants survived but the berry company fucked up and sent me red berries instead of green Invictas, and I absolutely wanted Invictas).
Also tried growing apple trees and a plum tree. They all died except for one (a bunch of fucking moles ate the roots). I had my first apple of the surviving tree literally yesterday. I don't think it was ripe yet. A deformed retard apple about the size of a key lime. Tasted like shit.
Who knows, maybe I'll eat a normal apple off that tree some year.
My garden area is completely overgrown with briars, vines, and tree saplings. The fences are falling apart. It will take me a year to rehabilitate that area.
I did notice a few gooseberries surviving in the thicket of greenery and thorns. But they're fucking red. Not Invictas.
I just suck at gardening.
