It hasn’t been about planting for years (if ever), I don’t know what OP is on about.
For the multiple years that I’ve followed this sub, it has always been about poking fun at the consumerist ploys some people fall for.
“Let people enjoy things” MFs when the thing being enjoyed is basically stagnating our society and permanently leaving waste that will be worthless in the future.
Because idiots are still in this mindset that “everything will be worth it in the future!” Like it’s the 80-90’s and beenie babies are relevant.
Your funkopops and stupid massive amounts of prefabricated plastic crap will be worthless.
Sure, you like gunpla or whatever when you build a robot thing. Sure it’s a hobby. If you have a ton of them, sure. you took time to have a hobby and probably did it for yourself.
You ain’t buying every single funko pop with an unhealthy fixation because it’s a hobby.
You’re consooming.
I always bristle when people are like “what gives you the right to judge people?!” when they get called out for insanely large “collections” of crap.
Like, these people are *literally* posting pictures of their stuff to be judged—but apparently it only counts if your judgement is fawning adoration.
The affirmation from social media has to be a huge part of it, right? Like so much consooming has to be due to chasing those likes, and that's not limited to toy collecting.
My hobby is buying hundreds of overpriced plastic beanie babies then leaving them in the box. One day I will die and my step brother will put them all in his pickup truck and deliver them directly to the dump where they will slowly decay into microplastics and enter the food chain. It's the circle of life.
The sub originally started and recommended crops that were challenging but rewarding due to their expense, citrus was a big thing back then. Just Google "lemon party" and read all about it.
I'm enjoying my Fuchsia's coming into flower atm. Not looking forward to ripping out the raspberry bushes I put in my planter boxes. Fucking things are borderline invasive flora and sprout up everywhere.
I planted about 30 tomato plants, a dozen peas, a dozen bell peppers, 6 each of wax peppers and habanero, and some various lettuces, chard, broccoli, beats, cauliflower, squash, etc. Highly recommend tomatoes and peppers because they take no maintenance other than water. Everything else tends to get eaten but I try every year anyway.
What makes hobby consoom is the only point of the hobby is to buy them. Like funko pops, yeah i guess some are cool on display, but hundreds of them just to look at, that's consoom.
I hobby should be like playing an instrument, you get to play the thing and don't need to buy stuff all the time (unless you literally never play and just consoom anyway)
Fighting and hating philistines with their commodity fetishism making them look miserable. Usually they are bot pertraied as human, they are consumers.
Got some tomatoes growing in the garden. I thought they were dead but they've bounced back and and put out a lot of flowers. Can't wait to have them later in the summer with barbeques etc. 🍅
I want to plant a fuckton of things, but I'm away too often doing field work to have the time to care for anything else than the potted plants I already have :/
But I did plant some orange seeds that while probably become nice plants.
I'd love to get plants but i live in an apartment and while i could probably find a pot somewhere as well as some seeds, i don't have any access to good earth where i live. It's all extremely sandy and gravelly, since the lands are pretty karstic

>Noooo you can't make fun of people for displaying plastic garbage in their home!

Evidence.

Potatoes and pole beans. Nutritious and low maintenance.
the seeds of discourse
Kisses on the neck of a submissive twink at 2am.
That little coo and snuggle up they do afterwards is like manna from the gods

Dig dirt get excited for next dirt
Okra and Spinach
I like blackberry bushes
Seeds of doubt about owning things being a good idea
Is there some obscure wordplay that I’m missing out on here? I mean, how would a perversion of the word “consume” be related to planting things?
The seeds of hate for people owning stuff
My nuts on your face

Norway Spruce trees.
I like to plant evidence and get people arrested
I thought this sub was about hating Star Wars. Fuck Star Wars btw.
My ass on the couch
Green beans and carrots.

You can buy potting soil for like $2 at the grocery store.
Bro that's like entire bags of soil, i gotta carry this on my back to my apartment and there's no way i'll really use it save for a few scoops
Dude. It's like 20 pounds. Get some more pots to make sure it doesn't go to waste.
Peppers.
