I like y'all. Then you can say, "Hey y'all, what's the buzz?"
These are all good!
. I can't remember their names, but I just got a handful of tropicals and succulents while moving to a new city, and love them to pieces already. ❤️
They look really cool!
Here's some of my indoor salad greens! Love a fresh arugula leaf in a sandwich
Those look tasty! I grew some chili peppers that I have yet to use. Gotta grind them up for a dry rub or something.
I saw 'beeple' once and stuck with it, but bees is probably also a good way to adress people. Maybe you can just do it however you like? It's not like there's a rule how to adress the community.
Here's one of my cactus. It always blooms for mother's day
Jealous! I want my little cacti to bloom again. I think they want more natural sunlight though. Hopefully I can get them to bloom this summer :)
This one blooms on its own just fine but it went into overdrive when I started giving it some superthrive every once in a while
This is a cutting I grew of my favorite plant, Ceanothus americanus/New Jersey Tea, with my tattoo of its botanical illustrations from a survey done a few centuries ago (and my pasty I-wear-jeans-all-summer legs)
That's awesome! We have a Russian tea plant in our backyard. It likes the climate and promptly became a bush, haha.
Fun fact - Ceanothus americanus and Camellia sinensis both produce similar compounds. C. americanus was seen as a way to break the stranglehold that the East India Trading company had over the tea trade and played a role in the continental congress' decision to declare independence from the British.
That is so cool! I've thought of getting a tattoo of a tomato plant, I love how yours looks.
Thank you! I say do it, but I love tattoos
I personally like Bees.
Well, best I can do is killing three calatheas per year
Here’s a before and after of my kitchen garden that was started as indoor starts, winter-sown seeds, or cuttings. The pots have now been moved and the raised bed is vegetables. The surrounding borders are a mix of common and native berry plants. It’s only a few months difference in the photo (fall -> early spring) and it’s much fuller already this summer.
I guess the original post asked for pictures of plants and I just posted my yard (which tbf has a lot of plants) so here’s a picture of a madrone I adopted. They’re my favorite tree but in serious decline in my area, so I propagate them and have started a colony of them on my property.
That's awesome! They grow like crazy where we live. My childhood home had one, I always loved playing with it's dried leaves and peely bark when I was little. It's wood is such a beautiful white too.
We had a lot where I grew up but the area I live in now has been owned by logging and paper companies for 100 years so it’s mostly been wiped out. The only remaining ones I see are beaten up along roadways (rare) or hanging off of cliffs.
Is this is the pacific nothwest?
That looks awesome! What native berry plants do you have? :)
Thank you! I have thimbleberry, service berry, and evergreen huckleberry so far, and I added some highbush cranberry to the front yard because it has such stunning foliage.
Service berry sounds cute! We have thimbleberries here, I love their soft leaves brushing past me on hikes :)
Grew an acorn into a small oak, a before picture and almost current picture attached. Still haven't solved what to do with it next. Two cats are out to get it if I don't protect it, but I have to get a new place for it since it's grown a lot.
Ooooh, awesome! Perhaps a sunny window in a room cats can't access, like a closet with a window?
Yeah that's what we have right now. It's placed next to a window that gets sun and we covered it so the cats can't see it. But it's getting quite big so I think the next step is to put it in actual soil but we live in an apartment complex with no soil of our own. The idea was to grow it and plant it when we move to our own house one day. I might need to get a bigger pot for now so the roots can grow too.
