My new house plants are doing well. I’ve only had them 2 weeks but they are thriving which is huge for someone like me with a black thumb.

My blackberry bush is taking over the garden lol.My tiny garden started late, so I just bought plants this year. I've got creole and Roma tomatoes, ichiban eggplant, some kind of hot pepper, lunchbox bell pepper zucchini and green onions in my raised bed. I've also got planter boxes/pots with chives, radish, mint and Thai basil. In the ground I've got a Satsuma, 4 blueberry bushes and 2 muscadines on an arbor.
Non-produce, I have dendribiums and bromeliads. I'm very bad at maintaining the dendrobiums, but the bromeliads are pretty nice. I have about 10-12 different varieties. I can post some pics later.
I love it when people redneck the sheet out of something and make it look cool. I've seen pics of people using those blue, plastic kiddie pools for gardens this week. Nice, cheap alternative I suppose that keeps things out of the yards and contained. In my head, I felt like that might be kinda tacky, but once they're filled and plants start growing those pools look kinda cool.
I never put egg shells in my compost because I find they don’t break down.Obvious post is obvious, but I’ve been adding ground up egg shells, coffee grounds and sometimes banana peel or the pulp from my wife’s juice* and the potted plants have really responded
*(don’t bother, too easy)

How do you ground them?
Grinder or just crush in your hand?
