fleet farming .. something that goes on in FL !

you can donate your yard to be farmed out (also paying a small fee for their initial supplies). they'll come in, transform your yard. then maintain it. really cool.

Im growing hot peppers at my balcony, many different breeds. This year i added cherry-tomatoes. All in pots, if you learn the basics its super easy.

awesome. how many variations do you have? also how often do they produce peppers?

i'm most interested in peppers, i eat them with every meal hah.

I see yet another adarq-skwad forming. Or should i say farming?  :P

 :highfive:

jajaja. i like it. sounds like you should lead this farm squad.. :ninja:

i might get a few things this weekend!





my brother has a plot in a community garden near his place in connecticut. he brought down some of his hot peppers to the beach this week and we've been throwing them in different stuff, for example his gf made mango salsa with jalapeƱo yesterday that is good as hell.

awesome! that salsa you mentioned is making me hungry af. could crush some blue corn chips in some spicy mango salsa right now.

my boss has done that a few times and i'm always impressed by the quality of the home grown veggies. really makes you want to get into it. his mom once brought down some hot peppers and i crushed a ton of them with crackers and cheese, was so good. i remember it well because they were so good.

reminds me of what you just mentioned.

something my gf and i have been talking about doing in the UK. even if we don't have enough space in our place (likely), we could join a community garden. very good plan.

pretty cool man.

you look around yet? some good ones near by?

ironically, i checked one out today. Boca Raton Community Garden has a decent sized lot, but surprised that there's not more growing there. I think Coral Springs had a smaller lot with much more growing there. Lots of plant hippies in coral springs, it's cool.

i might get some simple stuff this weekend just to get started :ninja: :ninja: :ninja:

pc!

injury area feeling a bit better the last few days. the standing single leg yard work stuff really hit it hard. was kind of like single leg deadlift holds hehe. the fast run also loosened it up a bit.

i might get into some "urban farming". been thinking about it for a while. and i'm enjoying this yard work etc.

with my OCD, could potentially grow a ton of stuff at this house. i have alot of fencing, could setup vertical pots along the fences and grow like 1000 veggie plants/herbs/etc........... HEH. plus it'd be portable for when i eventually move.

would be cool to grow some of my own food. or even give it to people etc.

i imagine there's ALOT to learn.

i'm in a good climate for it tho.. can grow alot in SFL.

there's some house in a community across from mine, with a very small back yard, but tons of vegetable/fruit plants etc. yard is just packed. looks really cool. i wouldn't do that because i need lots of space for my dogs to run around .. but along the fences, tons of unused space. could grow so much there.

great video with Jim Kovaleski (the scythe master i posted in the yard work thread). Also, this vid is in FL (he has a winter home here). Nice little lot there, tons of veggies.

this is pretty cool stuff.. been kinda leaning towards getting into some of this for a while now (growing my own veggies/herbs/etc). I have lots of space right now for some "urban farming". could be fun.

No run, old people on the track and dreadmills were taken up.

they take up the entire track?? lol.


Run: 1.94 miles
I ran from the gym to town and back, car said 2 miles but I guess it was a bit shorter, next time I will go a bit further

First mile was 9:23 pace and second woulda been 10

It's a lot of hills, not very big but enough to jack the heart up and it's a different stimulus compared to my road.

I'm happy with 9:23 cuz I felt like garbage the first mile and my phone was bouncing around a lot so I slowed down to stop it.

nice!

i miss my "hills".

I love stairs, so much use for training, box jumps increasing the number steps every time till you reach your limit. stair runs.

I right now use it as to increase explosiveness in my sprint start by placing my front leg in a sprint start on the step and as quickly and as powerful as possible explode up using the front leg and reach a certain step.

nice!

yea i used to love running stairs.

used to run them a ton when i worked at memorial sportscenter, we were in a hospital complex which had 6 flights at the parking garage. even with only 6 flights, such a good workout.
