#green thumb

Went out to the local nursery today! I had to get my plant mom on. I picked up this gorgeous snow queen pothos. I wanted to buy one of these braided pachira aquatica trees but they’re kinda expensive 🫤

Something kinda funny about buying tropical plants in in -5° weather 🤣

Morning Garden

I spent a pleasant hour in the garden from almost-seven to almost-eight. It wouldn't seem at a glance that I got much done, but that is because weeding and thinning young carrots is such a finicky, tedious task. However, if I wait until the weeds are bigger, they'll strangle the carrots, and if I don't thin the ones that are crowded they won't grow well.

I planted Purple Star carrots in that empty bed. Thinned a big handful of crowded carrots from the bed just downhill. And spent a ridiculous amount of time on the bed just sprouting (closest to the camera). Carrots are the very dickens for trying to grow in thick clumps (which they can't do successfully). Pulling up all but one takes patience.

But, was I alone? Perish the thought.

I came back in with a few young beet greens and a batch of small, young carrots.

Hard to believe that it's light just before 5 am, but when I took that photo of the sun coming up it was around 7:30. It takes a while! It'll get hot fast, now, but the early morning is cool and wonderful.

Ooooookaaaay Round 2! Transplanted all.of those morning glories that shot up into bigger pots.

Distributed Marigolds into Basil and tomato pots.

Got 8 cucumber shoots transplanted into their own pots.

Planted Hollyhock seeds and a varying variety of different tomato plants.

My craft room is over flowing!! I can't wait to get the greenhouse back up. Hopefully it will be done by April 15th!

I wanna have a green thumb so bad. This is what I want my home to look like.

Something that I love to do, especially with flowers is look up their myths and legends from all different places.

I grew corn this year yall!

Look at how beautiful it is!

it is so super colorful and yes I know it is itty bitty, but this is my first attempt ever at growing corn so I am excited I even did it right!

I also grew cherry tomatoes

These heirloom glass gem corn seeds were a gift from the local market here to promote Indigenous education and revitalization of our ancient ways, and of course we followed our ancestral 3 sisters growing style but the squash bugs murdered my pumpkin plants😤My rattlesnake beans did make it but I ate them before I did a photoshoot 😅

so the squirrels and birds devoured my other pumpkins … but I still grew this beauty and I’m pretty stoked about it

((Feels like Tails got a hobby in flirting too, ha))

March 25th 2024, Day one (more or less) of Garden. The man put up trellis for the pea vines and planted widely spaced peas intercropped with radishes and lettuce. I need to do one more (heavy, stony, difficult) round of work in the asparagus bed before the new roots come in the mail.

We can get through this...Gardening can help.

Y'all...how we getting through this next four years? How are we going to survive, let alone thrive?

I honestly have no idea and I am scared, but I have decided that all I can do is keep things right in my household and get back to basics.

I'm not spending my money in Trump's economy. It feels unstable and I think we are going to need every penny we have tucked away from the just in-case-ies.

All that being said. I have decided to start cooking at home more, making our bread, buying basic foods in bulk, significantly less eating out, that type of thing.

I am also going to start my seeds earlier this year. I think being able to grow a few staples, tomatoes, lettuces, maybe onions and potatoes, a few peppers. Nothing too crazy. Every year I aim too high and I spread my ADHD self too thin. I am going to focus on just a few crops and a clean and tidy yard.

I refuse to cave to these upcoming dark times. I will protect my mental health. I will garden, I will create things. I will teach myself macrame and make myself read all of the books I have bought over the years and never touched again.

Like, I bought a macrame book and some different sized ropes a few years ago...never tried to make even one thing! Well, not any more! I'm making shit!

The next four years are going to be the apex of growth in my household and I hope your's too!

Be safe everyone! I love you!

I made my jokes about Tom Thumb x Gerard as a crack ship but with that last episode who the fuck thought green thumb would be the ship that would be the closest to being canon
