Do hanging baskets need shade? My front porch got a facelift this year and I would love to be the cute Southern Living house with hanging baskets and make my house look Not Abandoned. The front porch gets shade all day, except until around 4 pm where it is blasted mercilessly with baking afternoon sun. Every year I am gifted 2 of those ferns in baskets and they quickly perish. Am I SOL?

There are several things that would thrive there tbh though without knowing your climate can't give 100% good advice. New England afternoon sun is very different from South Carolina afternoon sun for example.

I would try geraniums!

Planted my dwarf crested iris

Amongst a crossvine and some native lyreleaf sage (I think) that's gone to seed

Thought you'd like to see some other little native "weeds"

this is a Carolina geranium, a little less showy than the "wild" geranium, but it still has the cute little "cranesbill" seedpods they're named for

This is vetch, both of these are great for your dirt and nice nibbles for critters

This is a false wild strawberry-technically edible but not tasty- it's a non-native but the pollinators still like the flowers so i don't usually yank it out

Volunteer pumpkin to round things out, it has more of the Carolina geranium poking up through

A Garden of Hearts

Clematis reaches high with RM’s thoughtful gaze,

Where dreams take flight in a soft, tender haze.

Rumex stands proud where Jin’s love gently grows,

A symbol of warmth in each caring pose.

Larch whispers softly in SUGA’s quiet grace,

A steady embrace, a comforting place.

Buttercup blooms bright in J-Hope’s joyful light,

Turning every shadow into pure delight.

Spirea sways gently, like Jimin’s soft touch,

A hug from afar, that means so much.

Carolina Allspice scents V’s loving air,

A sweet, cherished memory beyond compare.

Tiger Lily stands bold, like Jungkook’s fierce heart,

Chasing dreams with courage, a work of art.

Foxglove graces June with a debut so grand,

When BTS began, lighting up the land.

Ivy Geranium blooms on July’s warm day,

A symbol of ARMY’s love that’s here to stay.

And like the whale that sings in the deep blue sea,

BTS and ARMY are forever meant to be.

In every note and every heartfelt cheer,

They share a bond that’s precious and sincere.

Through laughter and tears, they’ll always find,

A garden of love, forever intertwined.

💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

LOTD: Gucci Rouge A Levres Satin in 119 Matilda Sunrise with Dior Addict Lip Maximizer in 014 Shimmer Macadamia. #Scentoftheday From The Garden EDT by Replica, Maison Margiela.

First impressions, day 5; The last time I did my first impressions reviews, I mentioned I'd bought several of the newer Gucci lipstick shades. They brought out a 'Neutrals' collection (I shared some mattes that time) and 119 Matilda Sunrise in the Satin formula is from that range. It's a nice rosy nude, not light, bordering on MLBB. The satin finish isn't super shiny and I was expecting something a bit lighter (feeling) or more sheer. This, whilst not heavy or mega creamy, doesn't have as much slip to it as I was imagining. I would say it feels lighter though than the Carolina Herrera satin yesterday and didn't have as much colour pay-off as that in one swipe.

I decided to whip out all my satin Gucci's to swatch at once. 121 Elena Sand and 221 Mina Light Pink are also from the Neutrals collection (there were 6 satins in that), whilst 115 Bertha Blossom, 219 Mary Mauve and 220 Suzanne Sunset launched for summer last year alongside 208 They Met In Argentina (which I only have in the matte finish). The others were permanent shades. Swatches are shown in numerical order and as always are on bare skin, several swipes with no light/colour edits made.

I feel like my perfume trials haven't been going so well and I'd heard bad things about the newest Replica scent. I'd heard it smelt like tomatoes, so after my very leafy tomato scent the previous day, I figured I might as well just get this one over and done with.

From The Garden by Maison Martin Margiela is a Chypre fragrance which launched in 2023, created by Olivier Cresp and Sebastien Cresp. It contains top notes of Tomato Leaf and Green Mandarin with Geranium in the middle and a base of Patchouli.

Firstly I'm happy to report it's nowhere near as tomato-like as Amazonian Rose by Carolina Herrera yesterday, despite having it as a note. There is a garden smell (not flowers though), mixed with a more pleasant perfume scent. For an EDT it lasted well (Replica are generally poor when it comes to performance), but it's not a strong scent, certainly nowhere near as strong as yesterday. There's no projection, but I was also using a dab-on bottle, rather than a spray which should be noted.

I don't hate it, I'm willing and a little curious to try it again and maybe mix it with something else. Replica scents I think can be quite polarizing because they are based around a whole experience and memory of a time and place, rather than trying to be a 'pretty perfume'. They're often photo-realistic, whether that's of bubble bath, a flower market or standing under lemon trees. Therefore From The Garden will smell like the whole garden, veg, grass and stems included, not just something pretty from that garden like a rose. I commend them for always trying to do something different, but that's not to say I'm a fan of all their scents.

But ooh. ooh. ooooooooooooh these would be soooo much fun to play around with >:3

[dotshaft]

There's this species of grass in my front yard that's only like 6 inches tall with the seed pods and it's not very dense. The other plants are nice patches of native ground cover like henbit deadnettle, white clover, wood sorrel, chickweed, carolina AND dovesfoot geranium and also normal dandelions. There's also the stickergrass in the back and some prickly lettuce.

[cedar-glade]

Geranium maculatum

Wild geranium,

The second most common geranium in the eastern United States, second only to the annual Carolina geranium. In Ohio we have two other species outside of the common ones; however, they are limited to a northern range and one only prefers boreal conditions caused by the lakeside effect. As for this species is found in pretty much any forest we have in Ohio, often stream side.

[lady-book-trash]

[Red Clover (trifolium pratense) + Carolina Geranium / Cranesbill (geranium carolinianum)]

Both are incredibly useful medicinals and are edible, though the wild geranium contains tannins which inhibit a bitter taste. Whereas the clover is wondrously sweet.
