bre | 32 | probably touching dirt right now zone 6b

[plantanarchy]

this here's a pinned post.

hi i'm bre. (they/them)

i'm early 30s, queer, and growing zone 6b somewhere in pennsylvania.

i work in horticulture and help manage annual and seasonal production at a small garden center. this blog's mostly about that by now. feel free to ask plant and hort industry questions!

the creatures featured are

taco (chihuahua b. 2016ish)

pebble (normal regular cat b. 2023)

twig (devious little sentient parkour-enjoying lint ball b. april 2025)

and several dinosaurs (my chickens)

i post a lot about gardening, nature stuff, updates on my little house, animals, etc. i have been here since 2010 so have gone through several wild content shifts.

i DO have several fandom sideblogs and an active ao3 so if you are here because some weird plant blogger followed your obscure fandom blog, that is why.

My pinguicula put out a flower. I'm obsessed with her. I want forty of these now.

My Northern Catalpa (Catalpa speciosa) freshly planted and dormant in mid April 2021 and today in late June 2022 in full bloom!

[plantanarchy]

June 2026 - I expanded her brick edging for the third time this year. She leafed late after some April freezes but I am thinking she will bloom big this year.

cecropia moth that one of the delivery drivers found and I was lucky enough to have a chance to hold before we let it go outside. :D

had a woman interested in our bonsai because she was planning a "meditative/zen" garden and I said oh bonsai would be great for that it's very meditative and then she said "but do i have to prune and maintain them?" and i didn't really know how to tell her that that's what bonsai... kinda is

When the Echnicanea and Liatris come into bloom in a week or so, this part of the garden is going to go crazyyyyy

"Spath lad" is delightfully British and you have instantly poisoned my speech.

Can't believe u would go and say that to me

[plantanarchy]

Unclear when or why I started calling peace lilies, Spath Lads but I sometimes do it around others and get very odd looks. Anyway this one's abysmal, absolute embarrassment of a spath lad.

[plantanarchy]

I'm sweaty and I have a 100 red white and blue hanging baskets to plant by myself >:(( the little cunts with the wire hangers too >:((

[plantanarchy]

I finished them but got tired of twisting on the stupid wire hangers while sweating to death and ran out of places to set them that were tidy so I will do that tomorrow after all the other things I have to do

[plantanarchy]

good news! The greenhouse gnomes did it for me!! (my boss felt inspired at the end of the day i guess)

[marzipanandminutiae]

many of our ancestors worked so hard to be not farming and I deeply appreciate that

I love not farming

I respect the hell out of farmers and I'm glad that's someone's dream. because it's sure not mine

I would not be taken in by the tradwife influencer grift about milking a cow in a sundress. I have been around cows. my uncle was a dairy farmer. I love not milking a cow. I love getting milk from a store. I love getting vegetables and fruit and meat and bread from a store.

would I rather it be a local farm's store or a local bakery or butcher shop? yes! maybe when I make more money!

but oh. my god. I love not farming so much
