BethM I‘m so jealous of people who can garden! 9mo

Kshakal @BethM this is the first year I am having any success… there were a lot of fails prior to this! 9mo

Mommamanzi These are beautiful! My cucumber and watermelons rotted out due to the severe heat and crazy rain! 9mo

So about three weeks ago when I was making ginger ale I noticed my ginger root had two rhizomes budding on it. One looked kind of blah but the other looked promising, so I cut both off, kept them hydrated and this week I planted them. The one seems like it's dying but this one is looking good! (surprisingly)

Inspired by the tagged book - today‘s little project! I‘ve turned a flower pot into a little pond - complete with solar panel fountain! The sound of the water is so lovely! This might be my new favourite reading spot!

Today was potting day in my garden! I potted up tomatoes & basil for my greenhouse, started some poppy, hollyhock, lupins & sunflower seeds, potted a blueberry bush & a peperomia for my kitchen table. The hubby connected up a misting system for inside the greenhouse and started digging over my new Aussie natives garden. Productive day all round👩🏻‍🌾Tomorrow is a Bunnings day to buy more potting mix & seeds. #bloominglitsy #keeplitsypositive

Not strictly a book post but after 70 degree & sunny weather yesterday & thunderstorms with hail overnight, it‘s another 50 degree overcast day here in Chicago. Tomorrow it‘s supposed to be in the 80s—I love spring in the city! 🌥⛈🌸🌼⛈🌥 So after a little coffee & Trillium, I decided to visit the Lincoln Park Conservatory (open year round & free to the public) to brighten the day. And then I thought I‘d share some pictures. Happy Friday everyone!

A slow start for me, but I did some container gardening today. I also started a book called When the Moon Was Ours.

I planted sunflower seeds 14 days ago. These beauties need watered twice a day due to the dry heat. They will be giant sunflowers in 3 weeks. I am a container gardener due to the desert sand. I needed help when I moved here a few months ago. I never had to garden in the desert. It is going successfully 🦋🌻🤗🍃🌱🌿

Gathering ideas for the garden - looking to out a little order to the chaos! This book seems super easy to follow and has lots of cool ideas and planting combinations. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Tamra I am somewhat relieved that we have moved to an area with a lot of deer so that my plant choices are limited. I either go crazy and end up with too many plants & then too much work, or get overwhelmed and do nothing bc of indecision. I need the parameters! But it is fun to have the projects - enjoy! 😁 (edited) 6y

Mitch Hi @Tamra deer! Well we don‘t have those! We live in the city, so we‘re super grateful to have such a lovely garden and access to green space. We‘re not natural gardeners though! 🤣 I tend to choose what I think I like as opposed to what the soil and light levels demands. Frequently ends in plant death! 6y
