And yes, I know what the hibiscus looks like. I get a lot of comments on that.

AHAHA this is great! I would totally do it if I had a yard... I contemplated growing dandelions in the window box of my apt for a dandelion mead, but it turns out you need a SHIT TON of dandelions for that. Oh well. Maybe I'll rent a plot in a nearby community garden next year. (not just for dandelions!)
(I think it might be)Dude... you're in Brooklyn. Go harvest dandelions. They are all over the place. Well, at least in Queens they are. Go to Flushing Meadows and bring a bag with you. ACRES of dandelions. Just don't get stuck with a used needle.
EDit...
I don't remember if it's too late in the summer already for flowers though.
lol, that's what's going to happen when the only train connecting the boroughs that doesn't go through manhattan is the G... I mean even to me Greenpoint is like some sort of purgatory between Brooklyn and Queens. "What do you mean I have to transfer trains just to get into the city?"Lol. As a long time resident of Queens I'm insulted and completely in agreement with you. Lol.
Actually, for a while I lived in Woodside and we natives are so loathe to leave our natural habitat (except manhattan of course) that even though the strange land of Brooklyn was less than a mile up Greenpoint Ave, we never ventured into the actual Greenpoint area. Because, you know... ew.
I'm excited to hear how the Dragon's Blod clone works out. I absolutely hated the commercial one, but I've since realized I was unfair as who knows how long that bottle had been there and I've never tried it again (it was expensive and it sucked...)

I’m not into gardening and I’ve not done well in the past. But if the end goal of the garden is to make better mead, I’m much more likely to tend it diligently. I’ll see what grows well in Virginia. I expect there’s a wide variety
