I'm loving the recommendations in this thread already.

@tinker Not sure how relevant my advice is - I'm in a USDA 10b zone and Northern VA is 7b but potatoes are incredibly easy to grow. Here it takes 8-10 weeks from putting a cutting with an eye (root) in the soil to having a bowlful of crop. Here they can also be grown almost year-round but they grow slowly in the winter. As I warn folks when starting out though, once you start growing potatoes, you never really stop as you will always miss a few tiny ones that will launch new plants. Putting them in a larger bed is hazard for this reason; they are better contained in planter bags or boxes.

A classic standby recommendation when you are starting out and just learning are radishes. They grow quickly, and if they don't, it often tells you there is an issue with the soil, the setting or your initial technique. There are several great recommendations for fall crops in this thread, though it may take you longer to get feedback from those.

Best of luck.

A community garden plot opened up!!!

AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO PLANT!?!?!

We don't have too many of these in our town, so they're highly sought after. I placed myself on the waiting list a while back and it looks like one just opened up.

They're free to use, but you have to actively use and maintain it. It looks like this one wasn't maintained and defaulted back to the community.

I love how the organizers are willing to assist community members!

I'll be heading out this week and taking a look at it. I'll post pics of it and will keep updating this thread as I decide what to plant and my learning how to plant it.

I really don't know how to garden outdoors. But! Only one way to learn!

So! What should I plant so late in the season?

I'm in Northernish Virginia, USA.

My goal is food, dense nutrients. I really wanted to plant potatoes, but I'm not sure if its too late for that (I don't know though! I'll research it!). I also will see if I can set up some automation on my plot, maybe even put a camera out there to watch it remotely. I'll ask the organizers if I can do that.

Wish me luck!!!

Heeey transfems and trans women, of which I think Fedi has a few, I have a question for you and it may be about one of your favorite subjects ;3

I need cute, stripey, thigh-high socks. Plus-sized. And okay for someone short (I am 5'2").

I am nonbinary and my usual style is comfy, shapeless clothes, but I think these socks would give me a huge confidence boost since I have ugly scarring on my shins that I'd like to hide.

So basically, this is what I'm asking for:

1) Where can I buy plus-sized cute thigh-high socks that ships to Canada?

2) Do socks like these actually stay up comfortably? I can imagine my thighs rubbing together would make them droop and that would be annoying.

I think that's it! If you have any ideas for me, let me know! Thank you soooo so much, cuties!!

(Boosts are welcome!)
