Growing Other Veggies Along side

[Weezard]

Would love to see your Pineapple......

Pineapples are easy.
Buy or pick one.
Twist it's tuft off.
Yank off the bottom leaves and jam it into some dirt.
Or dangle it in some tapwater.
They are eager rooters.

Down side?
They need room! the leaves are sharply pointed and they can grow quite large. I've seen them 5' wide.
They also take about 2 years to fruit.
It's a long term commitment. Do a pre-nup.

Weezard Reviewed by Weezard on 11-30-2008. Growing Other Veggies Along side Hey, I don't want to break any rules, I hope that I am not. I just wanted some of your quick 2 cents on growing other veggies, tomatoes, squash, whatever! My question is, what are some that are easy to grow along side, w/ similar basice soil indoor setup. I would like a whole bunch of fried green tomatoes. I guess, do other plants generally bloom like lowryder, or do they depend on photoperiod? Hmmm? See what I am getting at here? Help please! Love to hear see some of your experiences Rating: 5

To paraphrase;

"The best time to plant a pineapple is 2 years ago.
The second best time, is right now!"

What about okra? Anyone tried it?

Tried Okra once, didn't like it.
Sorry,

for okra you need to make sure you have a strain that is tender and tasty...there are tough stringy strains which are horrible, but i do enjoy a plate of deep-fried okra with some ranch to dip it in

i'm thinking about starting a little secondary herb garden within my herb garden, just some basil and thyme but should make the grow room smell nice
