Gardening

Lobelia is an annual which I’ve never had luck with until I hung them from this spot here. The right plant in the right spot!

Some kind of grass. My wife just got this. I’d like to keep it on my desk, but I don’t know what to do with it. Do I need to put it in a bigger pot? The temporary plastic one it came in kind of looks congested, but I don’t know. What about watering?

Probably a really dumb question, but, is taking care of all grasses mostly the same?

We’re in Connecticut, but I couldn’t say if that’s where this thing came from (maybe it was imported by the store she got it from?)

Curious what the breakdown is for folks.

I'd like to transform my yard into wildflowers and tall grasses, like a meadow. That'd be cool, I think. Also better for bees and the environment.

I don't think I have the energy to invest in growing anything that requires care and patience, so a wildflower yard kinda thing would really align with the level of time I'd be able to put into it. Ah, but ticks really suck, and they're everywhere here in New England, so I think if I did that, the yard would become unwalkable :*(

I take no credit for the flowers, the previous owners planted them (whatever they are), and they're just doing their own thing!

Not sure what breed these are or if it's just something in the air (or more likely, soil), but these beauties are always fun to look at.

These were planted 3 years ago and it's so fun to watch the bumblebees crawl inside the flowers
