It's NOT farming, regardless if you want to use the dictionary or not. Semantics does not follow your rules or terminologies. Also, farming encompasses more than just planting, and no gardener plants ginger between coconut trees as a hobby.

i tried. i used to have a bunch of plants in my room, by my window. my mom is obsessed with plants/flowers that she had me take care of a few. don't know anything about plants really, except that you water them everyday. pretty basic stuff. they died when i left home. :/
tried growing weed too. does that count? heh.
also trying to help my mom grow her herb plants now. real herbs, btw. but i keep killing her basil plant for pesto.
i think i might be into gardening too... if only i weren't too lazy to go out in the sun and take care of them.

anyone?
I need some help sa garden namin. Nagiisip ako ng concept na maganda, madaming plants pero maganda tignan.
Usually kasi pag naglandscape ng garden mas maganda yung konti lang yung mga halaman para di mukhang gubat.
any suggestion?
I'll post pics soon. :-)

Gusto ko magtanim ng miracle seeds (dunno what the actual plant is called). Those red seeds that comes out of drinking sessions that makes any potable liquid taste sweet. :-)
Mahirap daw kasi bumuhay at magpalaki ng puno noon at may kamahalan din yung maliit na halaman lang (700-1kplus).
Mayroon ba dito na nakapagpalaki at nakaani na nang punong ganito? Tips naman diyan bago ako maginvest. :-)

ako im starting my own small scale farm. may kalabasa, sitaw, at kamatis... catnip sana pero wala ako mahanap.
Yellow bamboo, very nice. Maganda sa mga tapat ng bahay at bakod. Air caller, tumutunog sya pag may hangin, puntahin ng mga ibon, may scent mabango. Maganda rin sa mga new houses for design.
Im also selling may other 8-15 feet live with roots, yellow bamboo. Buhay na po ito at malalaki na.
I also accept swap kong meron kayo :):
Chico Rambutan Langka Sampaloc etc

try reading up soil and compost, managing your own garden, weeds, rats, sunlight direction, bacteria, biology....TIME....etc.
Id love to do it but its really harder than it looks. Unless you just want to have some basil on a pot, pick on it for your pasta or pizza toppings and watch it replenish until it slows down replenishing.
Note to self...... Should have bought 10 pots of basil.

Anything except rice. Whatever that grows locally but also lots of flowers to atrract bees and plants that creep to provide shade and of course fruit bearing trees and bamboo and bananas And avocado. Papayas, sweet yam and corn, pumpkin .
Im usually staring at air during work just thinking of all the things i want to plant its embarassing.

Whatever you do dont use any chemicals or weed killer. Yung mga nalaman ko ay gumagamit sila ng straw or hay to cover the ground. Some use dead leaves or anything like woodchips or palay by products. Nung bata ako sa Baguio i remember the ground was covered entirely of pine needles. No weeds growing when they are literally covered with it.

World Naked Gardening Day is upon us – here are 9 horrors to avoid
Get your hoes out everyone, it’s World Naked Gardening Day. We’re used to seeing tits and thrushes in the garden, but today we could be seeing a whole lot more. The weather may not be at its optimum for weeding in the nude, but everyone is being encouraged to tend to their flower beds as nature intended. In fact, there’s a whole website dedicated to the cause, which claims that it is now the 10th annual World Naked Gardening Day. Gosh, that came around fast, didn’t it? But letting it all hang free while brandishing shears comes with its risks. Here are some rules to follow on this special horticultural day.

Had the chance to go hoem and work on our farm for 4 days. Everyday i would wake up around 4:30-5:00 just before the break of dawn and ive had my first taste of farm life. It hit me in the face lookin at how hard it was walkin around on heavy mud caked boots plantin fruit bearing trees, manually crushing pests off the pumpkins, running out of space on where to plant. Looking for weeds to pull out.
It was also a very spiritual experience on my part especially when i got my hands dirty trying to notice the condition of the soil. The environment and all the things that i can do, what else to plant maybe a deep well here and a small shack over there.
Yeah i was happy for a few days but i know farming aint no piece of cake. Im not ruling out the trees i planted will survive so im throwing expectations out the window.

Yes yan rin ang isang option na iniisip ko doon sa rural farm ni misis. What variety you planting? Saan banda climate wise tsaka ilang years ang production rate ng mature plants?

Yaahn.
1. Criollo ung type ng cacao ang usually nakikita ko sa area namin sa south cotabato. 2. Climate wise - dapat ung hindi dinadaanan ng bagyo at mainit ang temperatura. (sa South cotabato, taga dun kasi ang nanay ko at bihira daanan ng bagyo) 3. Mature na ang mga puno after 3-5 years, pero ang reproduction rate nya, every 3-4 months, mamumunga na ulet sya.
Mejo mahirap nga lang talaga alagaan, namatay ung 120+ nursery plants ko dun, kaya bumili ulet ako, tapos intercropping ang ginawa ko, ginawa ko ung mga dwarf na buko ang ginawa kong shade para sa mga young cacao plants dahil madali sila mamatay sa init at maliit ang bunga nila kapag sobrang naiinitan.

Bagyo kalaban nito pag sa amin kasi malapit kami ng Taiwan. Pero heto rin talaga trip ni bayaw besides cofffee beans. I remember our neighbours had these and we would pick the fruits not knowing anything about it. Would love to try it on a smaller patch of shaded land and start from there.
Either cacao or coffee pero problema ko rin kung paano ko enganyuhin na palitan ang itanim nila at wag laging bigas at tabako lagi.

Ang payo naman sakin ng ka-officemate ko na farming ang business, mag root crops ka, potatoes, or ginger (kaso 1 year bago ka umani)
Pero ngaun, mas maganda ang sili, kasi in 4-6 months, mature na agad ang mga sili mo, then, 2 months, pwede ka na mag harvest.

Nice move in reviving farmland. Ganito rin ang dream namin ni misis. Revival ng farm nila from mono crop rice to diversified crops and livestock.

What pesticides do you guys use?
Might acquire some strip of land and start this kind of hobby as well.

Bought sunflower seeds today, and hoping na sana mapamulaklak ko sila :)
We also bought RAMGO sinigang pack (okra, sitaw, kamatis, kangkong, labanos) - okay ba yung ramgo seeds? I guess we'll have no problems as my father has a green thumb and nakailang ani na din kami ng saging, okra at talong.
Maselan ba yung kamatis patubuin? Any tips naman po. New to this thing e :)

ay madali lang ba ung pakwan? dami naming buto neto e. summer season lang ba sya namumunga?
pakwan oo summer. after ng ani ng summer(palay) pag hirap sa tubig ang taniman, kadalasan nilang ginagawang alternatibo ang pakwan. pero dahil high tech na din ang agriculture, meron na nagtatanim ng pakwan kahit hnd summer. Naka greenhouse ang bahat nila tksa grafting. mejo mahirap. haha.
pero yung sunflower at kamatis keri mo na yan! :-D yung talong din madali lang yan.
