Pass a long plants are great.I have many that were shared and now when I look at those plants I also remember the friend that gave me the start.
I have a chrysanthemum a friend gave me over thirty years ago.It’s my Vera plant.She passed away not long after so it’s a remembrance plant.I share it because it’s also an amazing flower.

Sorry to hear that. :(

Well my Nana sent me home with some petunias, something she thought were "calla lilies" (but these are not calla lilies I'm not sure what they are...), another confederate cotton rose, and some collards and a cabbage. :flower:

I told her even though I dont eat collards or cabbage my mom loves them so i will try to grow them just for her to have some to cook when she wants. :chef:

I also decided to give my little blackberry plant to my Nana since she doesnt have one. :)

This summer... I may wanna cut something cuttable, collective some, then propagate it on my own until it's on a pot full of said cuttings.

I had fun by starting with an inch long soft stem colleus without a leaf in a tiny pot, progressively grew and made it into a really leafy bush like plant in 3 months.

But despite that, sometime after those months, my habit fell off.

:( I don't know why my habits in general keeps falling off like that.
As if sometimes I woke up forgetting despite the previous days, weeks, months...

Good news! The pecan I planted in a flower pot as an experiment actually grew a sprout. Here's hoping my mom will allow me to plant a pecan tree in her yard! :D

I'm always losing my tools in 10 acres of wilderness.
I've now spray painted them all fluoro orange.
I also have a bucket I tote the smaller tools around in, and I try to remember to put them back in the bucket instead of putting them down elsewhere.
It's always devastating to lose an extension of yourself.

If I don’t find them before it greens up they are goners.
I also have orange tools and a bucket.lol
The price to buy another pair of decent ones is also depressing.These were the easy grip ratcheting kind.

Sorry you lost your pruners! I am always losing tools. Sometimes I find them years later, rusted, sitting somewhere.

DeathFlowerKing, I’m amazed at your pecan seedling. Wow!

/\It’s always fun to try stuff like that.I planted some seeds from a pomegranate and got babies.
Free plants!
Supposedly they can tolerate indoors in the winter, so far so good.They go through dormancy in the fall but leaf back out a few months later.

Has anyone grown stevia?
I found a few vials of seeds, don't know how old they are.

Occasionally I find a tool that someone before me lost.Some cool old cast iron stuff.It’s an old home place so people have been losing tools here for awhile.

I once used to be heavily into gardening, the only reason why I had stopped was because I moved into a high rise apartment and I couldn't no longer continue on with my special interest.



Since now that YouTubing has taken over, I love visiting public gardens and I had filmed a video of me exploring one in May 2021 then this video was uploaded on July 2022. I do every now and then visit this garden, since this garden was filmed at my first visit at "George Tindale Memorial Gardens", I doubt I would make another video at that same place again since there are others I need to yet EDIT as a YouTube video upload.
