#his house is in such disrepair that it should by all means be condemned

My personal headcanon is that Haymitchs talent is gardening.

And not just any gardening, no, he likes to chaos garden. He buys expensive seeds and cheap ones. Whatever catches his fancy, walks out to his backyard, and throws them every direction.

It doesn't matter if they succeed or fail. He's in it for the shits and giggles and to say "yes I do have a talent." When people are forced to do the interview for it, he very proudly shows them the dump that is his backyard. Eaten away by vine and plants that choke out everything in its path. He doesn't water it or bother checking them.

Nah, the most he does is just toss the seeds and let nature work itself out.
