    If you were to plant something, and it actually doesn't die despite being in the opposite spectrum of the so-call "Green thumbs", what would you plant?

    I actually want a vegetable garden haha. Things like tomato, calamansi, eggplant, squash and others. Would be nice to have some food on hand... while flowers look real nice, my gluttonous self likes fruits and veggies.

    I mean you seem like the type to haphazardly throw them to a plot of soil, I won't be surprised if one or two rebels.

    lemon-shaped, yellow, and sour

    should be fine as long as they don't mutate and somehow turn green

    too many things. something to look like straight out of rikki tikki, but half would be for looks and the other would be for food; although that is not mutually exclusive

    But even lemons start green before their yellow splendor is revealed.

    imagine all the falling leaves *shivers*
    We got some trees too, avocado, different types of mango, star apple, I forgot the others. Oh we have a fortune plant, sadly money don't grow out of trees.
    Does that mean you have also underwent such a green phase?

    I don't particularly care about plants, they are a trouble to deal with but they are aesthetic 1+.
    My family love plants!,
    Especially the ones you can eat.
    We have squash, ube, potato,etc..

    If I were to have a garden it's more of my taste to plant flowers.
    Even if we have a vagetable garden I can't use them because I don't know how to cook:sweating_profusely:

    They aren't that bad, it's mostly about not forgetting to water the plants and removing weeds. For vegetables, it's knowing when to harvest.

    Cooking is a nice skill to have. But sometimes all you need is a cutting skill and a frying skill. :blobrofl:

    I-
    That's the problem,
    For all the years I was born till now.
    I am ashamed to say this
    But I am yet to cook.
    Except on my 7th grade we were task to cook a pancake..
    I'm Asian but I don't know how to cook rice...
    I don't even have any experience cooking an egg...:blobnobully:

    Blame this on my parent who won't let me do it.:notlikeblob::blob_catflip:
