I don't grow anything, whatever is in my backyard grows by itself, I just go out there from time to time to forage the useful stuff and watch the wall lizards run around.
Solanaceae are awesome. The fact that half of them will fuck you up is purely coincidental.
Definitely one of humankind's most utilized and important plant families.
I grow all kinds of plants including weed and really hot peppers... but also roses
Decorative plants are great, but harvesting something from your plants (especially if that product is otherwise hard to get / of poor quality / very expensive) is extremely rewarding!
For me it’s “whatever plant I’m least likely to accidentally murder” so usually a succulent of some variety
What's wrong with growing chilies? I eat a ridiculous amount of them that it's too expensive if I have to buy them.
Also, store bought chilies don't taste as good.

I'm in this picture and I kinda like it. Edit: super hot and cactus
What if the plants I want to grow are those on the right? ... plus some cool looking house plants for decoration and less stale air.

Is that really a thing..? Not me. But I also only have enough plants to keep my apartment a bit greener, I wouldn't call myself a "plant guy" by any stretch
