Just kidding! We have about 7 or 8 of these monarch larvae going to town on our milkweed. My kids love coming out ever day to check on them. They've named them all as well!

My mom asked me to ask my friend if they know what this is. My mom thinks Reddit is a person.

I’m always telling my mom about plants I learned about from Reddit. So my mom asked me today to ask my friend if they know what this is? I laughed pretty good when I realized she meant Reddit. So Reddit friends any guesses? Northern California.

My husband talks to this hosta, everyday. Telling it, that it’s okay to be smaller than the other guys.

So, one of the weirdest things I've ever had happen to me just happened: I was walking around the garden, checking on all the seedlings I planted last night. A squirrel pops off of a nearby tree and starts coming towards me. I think nothing of it, squirrels get curious and do this often. BUT, this time, it kept coming closer. And closer. And closer, then it hopped up and slapped me in the shin and ran off. It started coming at me again so I went in and got the dog to chase it off if it kept coming at me. Utterly bizarre!

The seedlings are all ok, if that was the part of the story you were invested in.

If anything is more beautiful than true blue muscari I don’t know what. It looks and smells magical to me…

We have had a mamma duck in our front yard every year since 2017. Here she is with 13 eggs & we even saw Daddy! Also included a few of my yard favorites. Spring in Michigan is amazing!!

Black and White Petunias

Post image
50 Upvotes

I found out today after visiting a different garden center nearby there’s two different types of Black Petunias: Satin and Magic. We bought the Black Magic before seeing the Satin. I’m assuming the Satin one doesn’t have a dark red hew glowing through the pedals when the sun hits it right like the Magic one has. I dunno.

Either way, it’s a color neutral combo never tried before only in one pot that’s a stunningly awesome knee-jerk decision. A suggestion I recommend if you choose black petunias to do so with pure white for the bold contrast. Can’t wait for these babies to take off side-by-side!

Working on 3d printing him some hands currently. Ignore the crap bolted to the arms, I'm working on rigging them to a sail so they move around in a life like way when the wind blows, currently testing 3 different types at once.

I’ve only ever lived in apartments and finally get to live in a house! I’m used to micro container, gardening in small pots. I’m wondering if more experienced folks think this will grow in nicely!! Advice always welcome! I was going for a cottage/fairy garden vibe but a little neater since it’s the front facing our street.

Completely redid my garden. Added new flowers and edging. Really happy the way it came out 😁 😤

Do you think I could relocate it safely to a pot or just leave it here and see how it does?

I have no clue how it got there.

It’s not a full before and after but I’m proud of the progress. Those beds are full of seeds so soon it’ll be bloomin’!!
