Fun. I've grown, uh, certain plants. Everyone said you should do it indoors, in a controlled environment. But with the availability of sun I have it makes little sense to waste so much energy on growing them indoors.

Last year I had 6 plants grow perfectly happy outdoors, and these were from seeds of plants bred indoors for probably generations. The last plant was ready in freaking November.

Some of them cross pollinated (yeah, if you buy "feminised", that's not a guarantee lol), and now I have a few hundred new seeds that I plan on growing outdoors come May. Should be fun.

On that note, everyone around here has a small garden, mostly staple vegetables and fruits. But the soil is perfect for anything. And yet I see people growing stuff in controlled greenhouses even in the summer. Wasteful, if you ask me.
