    NTS- do not buy allllll the plants, keep it reasonable!

    No fun

    But money and budget and blah blah blah

    Quit being so realistic.

    Seriously though, this lockdown got me addicted to plants. I never thought that was possible. Cats? Sure. Cookies? Definitely. But plants really surprised me.

    I've been a gardener for a while now. I get some serious spring fever and love plant shopping. We are doing some serious overhaul to a few flower beds this year, so I'm allowed to go a little crazy!!!

    I have mostly only done veggies for years but for some reason i just really need things to be pretty right now. If you ever post garden pics, I'd be interested

    Niceeee, I need to keep an eye on this and see when the babies come. I've been seeing a Robin hanging around alot so I'm guessing it's her nest

    Yes, they look like robin eggs. Probably a pair will look after the nest. 💕

    I guess kind of, it's a clematis that hasn't bloomed yet, so they are climbers and don't require much training to do this. My husband just put up this wire trellis this year. I'm trying to propagate this guy this year, and hopefully we can get multiple plants in along the base so it fills up all the whole wall each year.

    I like it a lot. I planted some clematis roots but i have no faith.

    hopefully it pans out for you. This is the only clematis I have ever had, it seems to be super hardy. it came with the house, and we have been ignoring it for 5 years and it only had a teeny tiny little ladder thing to climb. That wall its on is full sun most of the day, so its hot as crap over there, and it barely gets water because of the roof overhang, and yet it keeps chuggin along.

    Note to self:

    Avoid the chili from Wendy's when their nightshift crew comes in. This is your first and final warning.
