This monster is begonia Hallow’s Eve. It isn’t even in a very big pot. It just loves life. Have to bring it in tonight but I want to get a picture of it with the orange flowering begonia on the porch before Halloween.

Never talk to me or my 42 trees again

[jumpingjacktrash]

it amuses me to see people being surprised/impressed/amused by this setup, because it’s extremely common on the plains. if you don’t plant a windbreak, your heating and cooling bills are huge, and storms do things like throw the lawnmower through the living room window, take the roof off, or cake the entire north side of the house with six inches of solid ice.

evergreens remain bendy even in the coldest weather, so – wait, no, not the coldest. i remember when i was a kid it got down to like -45 and the norway pines around my house were cracking like gunshots as the sap froze.

maples, incidentally, make that noise around -20f, and i hear it at least once every winter here in southern minnesota. but i only ever heard norway pines make it that one time.

so anyway that’s why we plant pine trees around our houses. because otherwise the wind would freaking kill us.

This is informative and perfectly sensible under the circumstances but I also cannot resist the temptation to compare it to planting stuff all around the boundary of your lot in The Sims

The goldback fern (Pentagramma triangularis).

Although the name roughly translates as the ”five-sided triangle,” the pentagramma here means “five lines,” while the triangularis refers to the overall shape of the frond.

The gold refers to a yellow coating the fern secretes on the underside to preserve moisture.

been unsure if my swiss cheese is happy with it's placement/my care, but the newest leaf seems to say it's happy enough!

"touch grass" uh please get with the times, we are touching natural native plant gardens now, gently to not disturb the pollinators

The return of the weird little stinky dudes who produce their own heat and smell like rotting onions in a rubber sack with hints of weed and bad compost

I love you skunk cabbage never change 💚
