That’s what I said when she said she was gonna add some flowers to the trees

[@ethandoingstuff1433]

I’ve been doing permaculture for years! So glad you’re into growing your own food. Some tips 1. You can reuse soil for a different type of crop in the following years to save money and get more out of your soil. 2. You can layer your crops! Try growing peas above, and carrots below to get some extra space. 3. Trimming the bushes and vining crops at the perfect time can encourage more branching which means you will get more produce once the plant transitions to flowering and fruiting. 4. Save your seed. It may mean leaving a little bit of your crops unharvested, but then you will get free plants in the following season, and those plants will be genetically predisposed to growing in your pots in your home. Your plants will get better and better over time if you save seed. 5. Compost your waste materials and use them to boost your plants at fruiting/flowering times. This also means that when you weed, just throw the weeds back onto the pot to give the nutrients back (weed stuff before it starts to seeds if you’re gonna do this) 6. Hand pollinating flowers may help if there isn’t a lot of plant life to support insects in the area. It’s a very fun and cute activity.

[@recurvestickerdragon]

omg thanks so much, I wanna get started soon

[@lilymercy]

i’m from canada you can extend your growing season by starting plants inside (try February to May depending on how long your desired plant takes) we started brussel sprouts in february to hopefully get them grown before first frost in september. seedlings take very little space a window sill or a table by the window can grow a lot in smaller containers before being transplanted later into their final home.

[@superbelo]

A small tip for the keep out signs on the door, if you use unicode squares or circles on the ends/ corners of the signs, then put grey dye and glow ink it looks like you have nails in the signs holding them up. Doing them slightly uneven make it looks like it was quickly and lazily put up.

[@sootycat2740]

[@superbelo]

@@sootycat2740 For me it was something i came up with a few months back because of seeing hermits always use unicode, but found it odd that iv never actually seen a hermit do it to emulate nails on a build for things like boarded up windows/ doors.

[@Birdthefeatheredone]

The artist being a little deranged is very much a classic Lovecraft thing. Which I imagine Dredge pulls on to build atmosphere. Since most of the Cthulhu mythos was spawned from Lovecraft’s absolute terror of the ocean. Maybe you could give them a diary in the house that builds on what kind of creature of the deep is out there.

[@Eliezer3838]

A rancher here with some horticulture tips (especially for peppers). Anything tropical or sub-tropical aligned such as peppers, avocados, melons, güisquil. Since you’re gardening growing these is best inside; either in a pot or another container of choice. Eventually the leaves for them will toughen up enough that they can resist the cold or frisky weather (as long it’s not too extreme, of course). Then once they’re mature enough they’ll be safe enough outside. If it’s near a window or an area that gets enough sunlight that’ll be perfect for the seedling to sprout and grow. I live in an area where the weather is pretty unpredictable every year, and this strategy has saved me hundreds if not more from buying new seeds and plants constantly. I’d recommend growing herbs like mint, thyme, and sage. They’re great in tisanes and they are pretty tough plants. They’ll resist very abrupt weather. Anyway Gem love your vids. Keep up with the amazing content!

[@BelfastG]

A pro tip for your peas. Harvest them when they are still on the small side. They are always sweeter and much tastier! If you let them get too big they can get a bit bitter and too dry. But I do agree growing things in your own garden and eating it is the best!

[@KageSilver]

And if you haven't already, peas like to climb on a trellis of sorts since they are a vine. Lots of water helps them produce fruit, too!

[@liataiofthewood]

@@KageSilver Yes yes! Trellis your peas, make sure local pollinators can get to the flowers (bees love them!). Like custom trees, you want to leave some air for your peas :3 It makes them easier to harvest and makes it so pollinators can get to the flowers more easily! It's more of an in-ground gardening thing, but if you want to get more into it, look into companion planting. One year, I grew my peas around a sunflower, and they both thrived for it. The peas' nitrogen fixation helped the sunflower grow stronger and taller, and the sunflower provided a natural trellis for the pea vines. (Sunflowers have some pretty deep roots, though, especially the tall ones, so they're not super container-friendly.) Another plant type to consider branching into -- herbs! Thyme is nice and hardy, and my local native bees love it. Fair warning, though... if you grow mint? KEEP IT ISOLATED IN CONTAINERS. DO NOT PLANT IT IN THE GROUND. Mint is FAMOUS for spreading like gangbusters and being hard to eliminate once it gets in a garden bed. Keep it pruned. Keep it contained. You'll have lovely fresh mint for days, but watch out for it attempting to escape! X3

[@liataiofthewood]

Another plant that does well in containers -- strawberries! Look for mountain or alpine varieties; they're smaller, but much more cold-hardy and full of flavor. I had three plants that I kept alive and producing indoors for six lovely years, hand-pollinating the flowers with paintbrushes.

[@KageSilver]

@liataislibrary6667 Some strawberries are perennials, too. Some herbs are, too, if you want to let them run wild in their own container. You just need to make sure you insulate it well for the winter with foliage or other covers.

[@otherdrew8556]

Yeah, peas need something to climb for stability, or they'll topple. Strawberries are great too, but I've found is that tomatoes in a deeper container??? They do fantastic. You can have fun with different varieties each year, they give you fresh tomatoes, and they're so lush. The give harvest surprisingly long into fall in Toronto, so I think you'll have no problem whatsoever letting them thrive Gem. Just water a lot, and plant in early spring! :)

[@marywhite7730]

I don't think Gem will see this but there is actually a type of orchid that flowers on top of jungle trees because sunlight doesn't get through the thick canopy!

Something to add to the side of the house could be some sort of line extending to the tree with banners hanging from it that are half destroyed, like it's the artists work that they used to display there before going crazy. Something to hang ominously overhead and ground the space while not being too enclosed like another roof/balcony

[@PhyzinicStudios]

Gardening wisdom: 1. Leafy greens grow great in climates with a shorter growing season like Newfoundland. They grow quick too! You can easily fit two harvests in a season, one from May to early July, and one from mid July to September (you can still plant some now!). 2. Next year, to take your potted plant game to the next level, start studying soil acidity, drainage levels, and NPK requirements of plants (it sounds super intimidating but it's rather simple once you understand it!). This opens up the world of potted berry plants or other picky plants as well as making your own compost, which I find very rewarding.

[@nyxolydian]

Yes! Excellent tips, also note that leafy greens are easy to grow hydroponically which could help save space, but either investing the money in a pre built system or investing the time and research to build your own could deter some people. And learning about NPK seemed scary to me at first, but I bought a cheap soil testing kit online and started nurturing my soil only a bit (and probably not perfectly) and in the years since my plants have THRIVED!!! So to any gardeners out there I can't stress enough how helpful it is to even do a few quick Google searches about how to optimize your soil :)

There's something extra special about growing something from a seed you harvested yourself! 😊 GOOD LUCK 😊

So excited to hear about your garden! I don't have experience with all of those plants but here's a few things: cucumbers, certain tomatos, zucchini, and squash are typically very viney plants. Trelises are always a great addition to give them climbing space otherwise they will start overflowing, especially the zucchini and squash. Keep an eye out for tomato horn worms as they are a big nuisance to tomato plants. Simply grabbing them(with gloves) and submerging them in water will take care of it. For other animals, some tricks to keep them at bay include: marigolds, bloodmeal, Irish spring soap, and urine. Carrots are a great vegetable and can be used for a lot of things, but from personal experience don't store them in a freezer. They will get very limp and mushy and at that point only usable for carrot cake/bread. Easy plants to grow for more temperate climates include lettuce and spinach as well as onions. Herbs are also fantastic potting plants, we grow rosemary, thyme, basil, and oregano. Tie them up and dry them around your place once harvested, then ground for use. Gloves is highly recommended when dealing with rosemary as it's a very strong scent and will stay on your hands and get into your other herbs when chopping. Also with herbs you can put them into ice cubes and keep them until the winter. Then just take them out and put them into the pot/pan as you're cooking. If you're looking for some easier flowers, I'm a big fan of geraniums. They come in many different colors and sizes and if you've got a spot that gets lots of direct sunlight and heat all day every day, geraniums will thrive there. Sorry for the massive wall of text, I took the opportunity to infodump about gardening

I think that paranoid artist definitely has some (broken down?) surveillance cameras :D

I loved the anthropologist/scientist bit, always fascinating to observe hermits in their natural habitat and to study their behaviour. The pickles though…she got you good there 😅😅😅

[@derpypig5731]

I don’t know why but the idea of a big floating sting ray could be cool near the base

[@Masterge77]

Pearl: "Hey Gem, got any pickles?" Gem: "No, I don't have any pickles, stop asking me!" 🎵And she waddled away (waddle waddle)... 🎵

My dad can no longer get down on the ground to weed or take care of his plants, so his whole garden is in raised beds and pots! I know you talked yesterday in your stream about not having room for raised beds, but the pots still work great! My biggest tip is make sure the pots are tall enough to let the roots grow. He does have a greenhouse, but he also uses clear plastic containers as starters for his plants, throw away containers like what cakes come in from the grocery store (at least here in the US). They work great to get his plants started from seeds. Things will get better year after year, his didn't start out great when he moved plants from the garden to the raised beds and pots. He has also used buckets in the past for tomatoes, hang up a 5 gallon bucket, cut a small hole in the bottom, put the seedling stem through the hole so it's facing down, fill it with dirt and they worked great.

I love how if anything odd happens on the server it's either Doc or Zedaph.

Scientist gem is one of the best types of gems out there in the gem gemaverseres 😭🙌

For gardening, mixing in manure with the soil will help. Also check to see what kind of soil the plants like. If you want to grow potatoes, they make what is basically cloth cylinder sacks you can grow them in. If you decide to grow any kind of mint, make sure you keep it contained so it doesn't take over the world. I was able to convert my garden area to raised flower beds and it drastically cut the maintenance of the garden and makes it easier to pick / rummage though things.

What’s hilarious is Gem joked about pickles and Christmas decorations but that’s an actual tradition of putting a hidden pickle ornament in the Christmas tree.

[@-.samxx-]

The pickle mystery of pearlescent moon has stumped the great scientist gem… 🥒

[@cutegamergirl2877]

5:35 There actually is a pickle Christmas ornament tradition in my family, where you try to hide it and the first one to find it gets to open a present early. (though we usually just hang it on the tree and not play the game that goes with it lol)

Gem: a garden tip for you, (right from the hand of my grandparents) To extend your growing season a bit. They always grow the seedlings inside. That goes for some flowers and tomatoes. (I hope Winnie isn't to curious about plant in the house) also, cucumbers i was always told do the best behind glass, so if you have great succes with them outside, then you must be doing stuff right. (Loved that garden update btw, would love more in the future)

[@greenbat8018]

Can confirm the growing seedlings inside, my mother does the same. She has a whole garden full of flowers and some vegetables. Most of the vegetables aren't grown before planting. Those with long germination cycles are tough. Also if you decide to grow them inside, it's a good idea to buy a small greenhouse cabinet of some sort. That way they can acclimate to the outside weather a bit better. But as well for seedling and flower growing it is all down to watering them constantly, they do not have to be drenched but spraying them with water every day does help. At Least that's what my mother is doing constantly.

Not advice but when I was young I grew peas and we had a big pea trellis on the side of our house. My dad made up a song about it that went like “Pea trellis, pea trellis, everybody’s jealous of our pea trellis.” XD

The Pearl prank is one reason why I don't think I would be able to be a family friendly channel, I would be swearing so much 🤣

I love the scientist Gem studying Pearl

The skin is amazing

[@lolli_popples]

It’s be cool to do some ambient sounds of insects and stuff once you get into the jungle area. I think it’d make it feel like the jungle is slowly come up around you as you get deeper into the brush. Good for spooky vibes!

[@ShroomRaver]

Scientist Gem studying Pearl and her pickle obsession is giving me life :D

[@BenP-ho8hb]

Gem if you love gardening you should look for allotments near your house as you will have much more room to grow stuff and it is very relaxing to go there after a long day of work.

[@LochsPlay]

I love how Gem imbues the builds with character and lore... The paranoid artist storyline makes such a small build feel so meaningful! ❤️❤️

[@Shallow-River]

I love to hear about peoples experiences with gardening! Especially with sugar snap peas since when I was growing up my grandparents lived in the country side about 20 minutes away and I remember I would walk along their gardens with my sisters and their old dog and pick and eat the peas straight off of the plant! A few tips for them is to make sure that they get quite a bit of sunlight and make sure the soil never fully dries out! They also might not be growing as well because there needs to be a bit of space in between each plant but I think that if they are all in individual pots they’ll be fine! I hope that your gardening goes amazingly! ❤️ Edit: I saw someone say something about when to pick them and I’d like to add that ripe peas are bright in color as well as crisp and sweet. If you wait until the peas are too large inside the pods, the pods get pretty tough and stringy. Harvest any over-ripe pods you see, as well, to encourage your plant to produce new peas. ❤
