Just showing off all my plants today because they are far more important than a basic silly selfie. Look at these new little leaves on my strawberry plant.. this means baby strawberries are on their way! 🍓

guys my plant had babies I'm so happy!

Basically for my birthday last year, my friend gave me a 'grow your own plant' kit from Tiger. I am well known for accidentally murdering my plants and I was sure it wouldn't grow but I planted it anyway. Much to my surprise, almost every seed that I planted grew, creating this lovely twisted plant.

I was like, wow I bet this will die within days but I did my best to water it when the soil dried up. Much to my surprise, it grew a flower (I think I cried)

I was very proud of myself and my plant. Since then though, although it has flowered almost every day, lots of the leaves have yellowed and some of the flowers gave way to little bulbs that I realised were seed pods. So I've been collecting the seeds and I planted them today in little pots. Some of the parent plants died when they had their babies and I couldn't save them but a few have survived and I'm doing my best to keep them going as well as planting the seeds in the hopes that they can help my plants to grow.

I think the plant is a morning glory - does anyone have some tips as to how I can make sure all my baby plants and their parents keep going?

a lil tutorial because there are PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW HOW TO EAT HONEYSUCKLE and that pains me deep in my soul. this is like if you mixed wishing on dandelion puffs with eating candy (not in a gross way)

DISCLAIMER i dont THINK there are any dangerous lookalikes to honeysuckle.. but i encourage people to double triple check any plants before putting them in your mouth. im not a plant expert and most of you guys arent either.

this is a lot harder to do if you have very short nails btw. specifically the green part is harder to rip off.

ive only ever done this with japanese honeysuckle. they look like this ⬇️⬇️

they are invasive pretty much everywhere in the eastern and central united states. (not great but also yaay sugar)

photo is from this wikipedia page if anyone wants the source btw

I was trying to peacefully take care of my children (water my plants) and then some evil invisible force made me spill water everywhere. It was definitely not me because I don’t spill things..

I planted a tree today. In 3-5 years we may have some Asian pears. ☺️

I'm tired, because I'm old and out of shape. I'm also glad, because planting trees is an inherently hopeful act.
