Hi guys!

My name is Pisces and its very nice to meet anyone who is seeing this blog. I made it to share updates about my plants, as I'm a hobbyist gardener, and fun facts about them. But I will also be posting different projects I started.

I will also post some tips on how to start a garden, how to plant a flower in a pot, what soils to use, ect.

IMPORTANT: I'm a minor and not a professional or anything. I thought it would be fun to share it with some people, but this is only a hobby.

I also have 2 other blogs. My main blog is PiscesWaves, where I post quotes, reblogs, crafts, ect. My other blog is PiscesStud!es, where I post about social studies and mainly psychology. Go check them out if you find any of them interesting!

(I'm sorry for any grammar mistakes, english is not my first language) .

Update: I planted some marigolds a few days ago and it has already grown!!

A day after planting:

3-5 days after:

It has grown so much!!

Fun fact: Marigolds are sometimes called garden bodyguards. They naturally help repel pests, like mosquitoes, and aphids. Maybe even some soil nematodes.

I also planted this. It's called Columbine (Aquilegia vulgaris).

It's a delicate flower that has spurred petals, giving it a bit of a fairytale look. It comes in colors like pink, blue, white and purple.

Fun fact: Columbine (Aquilegia vulgaris) adapts to its pollinators. If bees are the ones who are mostly around, they have shorter spurts in the flower. If butterflies, medium spurts. If moths or even hummingbirds, long spurs.

But it doesn't shift over one plants lifetime. It happens over generations while the plant evolves. If a place has mostly bees, they pollinate mostly short spurred flowers which than produce more seeds, so there are more of them than for example long spurred because they get pollinated the most.

I planted this yesterday. The flower is called Bellflower (Campanula Carpatica). It's a delicate, usually purple, bell-shaped flower.

This is how it looks:

Fun fact: Despite how soft it looks, it naturally grows in the Carpathian mountains, where the conditions are harsh. So even though it looks delicate, it's a very hardy plant.

I will also post updates when it shows signs of sprouting!
