Oh, the puns!

Im starting a new hobby, growing things! N-no not that Plants! Yes, plants...

Gonna grow a bit of peppers like Birds Eye, Time Bomb, Bacio di Satana, habanero, Ghost, Moruga and a few others.
Also gonna grow Ginkgo Biloba and two types of bananas, one that wont bear any fruit and one that will bear pink bananas
Will post pics on this

What are you growing at home?

Interesting topic (don't get the pun though)

Well - at home in the flat we got 4 banana plants (they're breeding liek mad - I tell ya), some green, big-leafed 'exotic', climbing plant that my mom brought in years ago and that stopped bring forth pretty white flowers also years ago (mom said maybe we need to give some fertilizer or so to make it bloom again .. but oh well) one ivy plant and the usual seasonal floerpots that we always manage to more or less kill of or at least try to reintroduce them to the wild (aka: briring them to the garden). Then there's the balcony - harbouring a kind of-conifera -like evergreen plant, the sister of the ivy plant from inside, seasonal plants and a young tree form tiem to time (whenever we manage to make one grow).
In the garden ... well .. I actually don't know where to start - it's a Schrebergarten after all. Flowers, more flowers, Roses, Tulips and so on. Veggies potatoes, carrots, onions, radish, Zucchini, herbs, 4 appletrees (different ones, but don't ask me what kind), a peartree, 2 practically dead cherrytrees (the whole Gartensparte got a certain fungus problem there), we tried a peachtree, but the weather apparently is just too harsh.
We also change what we plant in the garden every year a bit in addtion to the stables we have. It's more like about what comes to mind and might be growing there (it's quite cold for like 2/3 of the year, and can get vrey dry during summer with maybe too much rain in spring turning the soil into mud, it's also very windy and the soil itself is heavy and pretty acidic .. potato land after all).

Don't worry 'bout the pun, it will grow on you

Oh, right. Also got Casora coffee, White Pitaya Dragonfruit, red and yellow miniature bell peppers, Palisandra Coleus, Micro-Tom tomatoes, Chinese Bottle Gourd and;

Sunflower "KONG"

Just thoutgh I should count how many pepper plants that I have at the moment.... 45+

I ma seriously lacking space. This place is pretty small for the three of us.

I think I might grow out my hair again...

That's what I am doing sicne my bald phase in February - still looking short, but getting more feelable volume now.

Yeah, at least that works for me too... my hair's down to my shoulders now
