Who here crops something besides cannabis?

I was just wondering, does anybody else here enjoy growing plants other than cannabis?

I've always loved growing plants, all plants, and have recently decided to make it my life. I really don't want to get into the cannabis market, I feel like it is being flooded right now, and the value of it will be flushed down the toilet. I fully expect people to be paid around $1000/lb. for top-notch medicine in the near future, that is for A++ grade.

I'm currently experimenting growing Tulsi, also known as Holy Basil, after learning about its health benefits, and positive correlation with the use of cannabis. I've noticed a 2-fold increase in the effect of my medical cannabis if I ingest a large dose of Holy Basil around 1 hour prior to consumption. The primary resins of Holy Basil are strikingly similar to cannabis, with particularly pungent amounts of the terpene b-caryophyllene.

Holy shit I am rambling now. I started this thread because I have a new found appreciation for worldwide gardeners and farmers alike. The cannabis plant is one of the easiest plants to cultivate in the world, and you don't really realize this until you try to cultivate other plants from seed. I realize why baby plants are raised in "nurseries" now, it is a full-on game of nursing.

Does anybody have experience cropping other plants?? What do you guys like to grow?

Have a veggie patch (peppers, tomatoes, broccoli, carrots etc).

I also dabble in making cuttings of roses and other plants.

In short there will always be mass grown tomato's but grow an heirloom and watch the sales climb . I will also state that many who do succeed in growing will not have superior product , take my state Mi , its legal medically but the quality is far from medical on average due to average growers and average genetics ..

I will continue to farm and grow heirloom vegetables herbs and flowers and all are Non GMO and perhaps build greenhouses for exotics .. I have a passion for exotic plants myself ..

I personally cant wait for the next growing season. I discovered aerated compost teas fairly recently and i cant wait to see their growing power. And, this year i think i might start a small worm castings farm. Exciting stuff!

I admire those who are long-time growers. I had grown nothing - I mean I hadn't grown a freakin Chia pet before my first stab at MJ (which was a struggle). Couple years later now and I got my wifes' Christmas Cactus to flower. I continue to pay attention. Thanks everybody

Yeah folks grow more than pot. So many do so there is a special section for just that purpose. Not in this section.
