Anyways, I found a sprouting red onion growing in the back of a shelf in a grocery store, and they let me take it. Do they grow well indoors? Apartment renter here.
It's in good condition, but I'm not at home right now, so no pics just yet. What should I expect/look out for? I'm a complete novice at gardening, but /homegrowmen/ was always informative to read.

Jesus, homegrown has been bumped down this far, this close to planting season? I have a question about compost. I threw in my leaf litter in a compost bin a few weeks ago. Now my pile has decreased drastically in volume and it does not get as hot. But while the grass clipping have broken down quite a bit, the leaves are slow to do so. Is my pile still viable to incorporate into the soil? It doesn't seem to make sense to add to the pile.

One more question. I bought a blackberry plant from the Holmes Depot. It is… a stick. How am I supposed to know it's alive and growing? Everyday it does not grow a leaf worries me.
No.622

Check to see if the 'stick' has any yellow or green color to it.
No.623
>>622The outside "bark" is still green but I am concerned with the very top of the plant which seems dry. I'm not sure if it is supposed to be like that. As for how I planted it, it's in a 5 gallon bucket as I want to try to grow more via suckers.
No.625
If the stem is still green it still has life. If you want to promote green leaves go to wally world and buy some epsom salt and place half a hand full of it around the pot (add nitrogen slowly). It adds nitrogen which promotes green growth and not flowering (fruit) mind u. :)

I've been growing for over a year now, glad to see that this is a topic in /out/!

I'm kinda new to gardening, but so far I have a pepper plant that's been doing quite well. 1st Pic related, about a week's worth of serranos hanging out to dry. Made some salsa out of the last batch.
I also picked up a black cherry tomato plant last week. He's doing quite well since I planted him.
Anyways, my father and I are going to build a new hotbox in a couple weeks (Old one was rotten and had wood roaches living in it.) I'm thinking of planting some garlic and either some small potatoes or yams in my section. Any suggestions for potato breeds that will grow well during the Arizona Summer?

As far as the potatoes make sure there is an 'eye' present before planting. Red , sweet, or white should be fine.
