    Something I would like to try is growing potatoes and onions in a grow bag or bucket 🥔🧅 I think that will make harvesting a lot easier, but I wonder if they grow smaller due to the confined space 🤔

    Both.  My sister plans out the garden and all the plants we get for it.  But she and I will often get smaller plants and hanging baskets on impulse.

    What do you think humans have most in common with plants?🌿

    Just like a plant that is cut down or pruned, our hardships and losses can feel like the end, but renewal and new growth can sprout from this.🌿

    We both need sunlights! Without it, plants wont be able to grow and sustain themselves. Without sunlight, humans become more depressed and lose sight of time

    RosieWave7219

    We are deeply connected  part of the same living, breathing world  We share the same air, the same earth, the same life force. Just as plants give us oxygen and beauty, we care for and protect them. We grow best when we’re rooted in community  plants thrive together, and so do we. We are not separate we are family.

    We've been trying to repopulate our tree count in the backyard thanks to a derecho 6 years ago.  We planted a persimmon tree in 2024.  However, we believe something ate the sapling.  I was really looking forward to seeing it bloom, but it doesn't appear that it will come back.

    Not exactly 'sneaked'… but I have gently asked permission!  If a plant was happily overflowing and needed a trim, I'd ask first. Better safe than sorry  and the plant babies deserve respect too!

    Clay terracotta potLove it!

    In my experience, my plants prefer them. Ceramic doesn’t allow enough airflow/drainage on it’s own. I used a insert pot with drainage holes for ceramics. Terracotta typically already has a hole(s), and can be decorated to your taste. Plus their cheaper than ceramic.

    Do you start your plants from seeds or buy starter plants?🌿

    Love it!

    I love starting from seeds! There’s something so special about watching life unfurl from the tiniest speck  seeing the first fragile shoot push through the soil, nurturing it every step, and knowing I helped it grow from the very beginning. It takes patience, yes… but that makes every bloom feel like my little miracle.
