🌱Plants: You growing any? by Uluri
What kind of Plants are you growing at home? I have an adorable greenhouse filled with plants right now. I've been breeding SHamrocks for a couple years. i think they are such cute plants to keep. I also wanted to try to grow some sweet peas to crawl along the windowsill, and let me tell you those things and their roots grow way faster than I thought! XD I had to replant from its baby bin in only a week. Just start the thing in a big pot, I learned.Â
I'm also trying to grow hollyhocks because I want to line the edge of my driveway with them to make a natural fence between the woods/cliff and the grassy walkway. I also plan to have a different long flower to break up the flower types between them as well.Â

*looks up larkspur
Those are pretty. I'm actually going to try to grow some cosmos this year. I want to have some colorful cosmos and a lot of other flowers around in the wild areas because I want the bumblebees to be happy. I love seeing them buzz around and fumble on flowers-
I was pleasantly surprised at the larkspur coming up--for some reason the picture on the seed packets didn't really do the actual plant justice. XD
I love cosmos flowers and you can find them in so many different sizes, too--they're colorful and amazing flowers, I think. :) One year I planted the really big cosmos and were surprised at how big they actually were, after growing only average sized ones for a few years. XD

I've never heard of anyone growing shamrocks before--that sounds really cool! Hollyhocks are good plants to keep in a spacious outdoor area--tenacious as heck and grow crazily every year. Used to have them and peonies at the house I grew up in.
I have a couple of pots/planters outside, last year I planted a pink/purple blend of larkspur in one and sun cosmos in the other. :) The larkspur were just growing like crazy and seeds got dumped into my cosmos planter, too--and I suddenly had larkspur in both planters. XD Since I live in an apartment complex, there's not much room for things, but I have a little bit of a "porch" area, so as long as it's not cluttered, I'm allowed to put a few small/medium pots/planters outside. :)
