Maybe it’s not what you was expecting but OMG adorable, I dont care who you are! Wish I had some expert advice for you. I believe on saturday around here on a certain radio station there is this lady name Kelly who has this beautiful nursery in my area, well near me. Not sure of the radio station number. Maybe you can google it. I’m located in Habersham, GA and her nursery is called Full Bloom Nursery it’s in Hall county GA.

They are apparently native to eastern North America. Different than blackberries; smaller and have hollow core like raspberries. Yummy! Here’s a photo I posted last year

Good for you! Planting from seed isnt always easy. I tried for sunflower plants this month, they perked up right out of the seed, then got root rot and died. Guess I should read about it next time.

Such a cute lil plot! :heart_eyes: I certainly hope you will keep posting more as it fills in and grows full with more life. Starting from seed always feels like a slow process until suddenly everything explodes (or gets eaten by rabbits in my case)

It’s just a cactus. In my excitement I didn’t notice the flower is fake :flushed:

My little balcony herb garden is doing excellent. As is my own lemon verbena / mint tea I’m having now.

I usually germinate first on my back porch or window sill. I have to cause chickens are ruthless on seeds! And make sure to get sand. One common thing all plants need is good drainage. So if ever in doubt of your dirt and draining…sand…or unless doing a memory garden and have loved ones ashes. I did that mother’s day for majority animals but was 2 people that was included in it

No I don’t I just put them on a vase on my table. I had no idea I could make tea out of them. Very interesting!

Butterflies are all over!! They practically swarmed me when I tried to grab some chives for breakfast

Oh heck to the yeah! As long as you do t use any pesticides on or around them. All natural. Miracle grow like you just add in water and water them is ok. Not sure on what type miracle grow you use. That’s only one I know of. But google rose hips. They from when you dont cut the flower off, they may still form if just get petals off, not sure. They turn red like little red cherries, that’s rose hip

Own Rosmarin is dead. Bought some. :sob:Wish him luck when I put him into another cup.

I love the color! Matches really well with the lemons, hope they will grow now. Had to laugh a little when I saw that tiny one, looked so cute.

My carrot seedlings came up! And here are some details of the grapes, figs, broccoli and more. This evening I made a salad with sugarsnaps from our garden. Never thought gardening would bring me so much fulfillment and joy! In 2 years I learned so much about plants, vegetables, herbs, bokashi (fermented kitchen waste) and trees. I’m also thankful my husband made these beautiful wooden boxes for my veggies and herbs. Love to see all your pictures that show the love and effort you put in your garden too!

My first herb harvest, only because the dill and basil needed it. Does anyone know of either of these root in water? Also, check out those gorgeous mugs My Mami brought me from her local ceramist.

After some quick google searching, turns out both will root in water!
