I just finished reading a #gardening / #garden design book that was enjoyable and informative overall, but it also contained this gem - I present, the author's opinion on arachnophobia:

> "To people who hate spiders, I have this to say: get over yourself. Nothing is more irritating than hearing adults lose their mind over one teeny tiny spider."

... 🤯 wow!?! What an utterly disrespectful "opinion" that is also completely devoid of any understanding of the matter. Didn't know that curing arachnophobia was as easy as getting over oneself :ms_rolling_eyes:

"You cannot be a gardener if you don't like spiders" is just not something I agree with.

I prefer my gardening with a tiny bit of empathy towards new/beginning gardeners, and/or gardeners with different backgrounds and experiences, thanks.

Happy Spring! Our succulent collection, in pots under the front eaves, has weathered its first winter. They were covered a total of about a half dozen nights, with just a little frost damage on two plants to be trimmed off. One plant wasn’t happy being covered through two full days and has healthy but quite pale patches in protest!

First fully grown TinyTim #tomato plant growing in mini #Kratky Hydroponic


I now know Tiny Tim thrives in the mix of vermiculite and Perlite and my fertilizer seems to be doing great to help it grow healthy leaves and lots of flowers.

I am afraid 1L container is not enough for it and may have to find a way to feed it from a bigger reservoir.

PS. Note to self, put date on the seedlings to be able to document it for future!

The outdoor carnivorous plants are just starting to wake up (though we still have some freezing nights).

They spent the winter on an unheated stairwell with a north-facing window and will end up later on the balcony in the open facing south, so I made them a transitional spot in my home office to acclimate them to more light and warmer temperatures for the next few weeks or so.

Space is a bit tight in this room, but everything still ended up fitting well.

I found this out by the dog run this morning. We've had lots of wind, so it probably blew there. This is a devil's claw. It has little sharp barbs at the end of the long arms. The fruit from this plant can be eaten. It is kind of like okra. Indigeneous peoples use its fiber for basket making. It is a long process to prepare, but makes a fortress of a basket.

Oh and I bought one of those Prickly Pears (Cactus Pear) and they were gross!! Like the green on a watermelon, all water, no flavor. BUT, they had seeds!
So, naturally, I planted them. And they grew into a monster cactus, not the *window* ledge variety, it got 4 foot tall.

I had to find *real* homes for them, with a spare room with a Western movie motif

I kept a tiny baby to reproduce more.

Also, I'm collecting *sticks* already this year, so if there's a Magnolia Tree in your yard.. I'd like a tiny piece or two?

It's easier to root a tree from green portions, but I've got to try everything once.. Roses and Lilac and tropical trees.. even Pomegranate I've re-cloned after growing from seed.

I'm no expert, by a long shot, but there's a lot I've learned in a short while.

Ever grow from seed?
Maybe you didn't read my BIO?

I retired young, without a hobby. I decided to grow every seed I found into a tree.

Apples (and other fruit) grown from seed, will not grow up to be a similar taste. They grow wild, but produce good tasting apples (perhaps) but nothing like the parent.

So, I tried to grow an Apple Tree from seed.
I grew a few hundred.
Then I did Pears.. Plum, Peach, Nectarine..

Sprouting’ Progress!
Yes this is the sprout that somehow decided to become a new plant on my kitchen windowsill. It has changed SO much!! There are two definite growth places and the roots seem to be developing.

One of my favorite cactuses, the inimitable, aptly-named horse-crippler. It sports outrageously strong 7-pronged claw-like spikes and grows so close to the ground it is often concealed by grass until you trip over it and get stabbed as you sprain your ankle on the way down. It blooms in May, the most beautiful hot pink flowers you ever saw. This one is weird, about twice as tall (6”) as the usual specimen.

Leaves on a Clematis montana 'Freda' change colour a lot - starting off red-purple when freshly opened and deepening to dark green. In late summer / autumn they start to get really lovely, showing tints of gold and red and green all together.

#Nature #Plants #Gardening #Photography #Clematis @plants

A greying wood trellis in front of a green blurry background, with two stems of a climbing plant crossing in front. There are leaves coming out in a small clump, red at the tips, yellow-gold in the middle of the leaf, and green at the base.

This is quite a simple shot, but the colours of the leaves against the trellis and the background give a rich, autumnal look that makes me pause to look every time I walk past this plant.
