Giant bloom very soon after planted.
So Glad I Went Back
I was driving to an appointment in St. Joe, MO and noticed a greenhouse set up in a closed-down K-Mart parking lot. Luckily, I turned around to see what they might have.
I picked up a few more pepper plants, a couple of tomatoes, a 4-pack of those pink petunias and this glorious plant!
It's only been in the ground a couple of weeks, so it totally surprised me to find this bloom on it the other morning. The plant is only about a foot tall, so you can see the bloom is at least 6 inches across!
When I moved back to the farm a few years ago, I transplanted 3 hibiscus plants that I had transplanted 3 times. They did not survive this last transplant. So, I am thrilled to once again have hibiscus back in my landscape.
Why I plant flowers
- I don't plant flowers
- for me to enjoy
- though I do enjoy looking at flowers very much!
- for me to enjoy
- I plant flowers
- to enjoy watching others
- enjoying the flowers!!!
- to enjoy watching others
- That is where I find the most joy from flowers...
Help?
I stepped away from Steem for a while and now it's Hive.
Can anyone point me to their favorite gardening communities?
(Communities were talked about but not part of the infrastructure when I stepped away...)
Recommendations on any good communities I should check out?
Can anyone point me to ideas on good topics to use.
There used to be some photo tags that got you hmm haha I don't remember. Maybe once you used the tag enough they would upvote you?
I bet @simplymike 👋👋👋 would know. She used to do the monthly garden challenges. I'll head over to check out her latest posts...
Who I am
The KEY to life!
Hey @wizardave, good to have you back.
I'm a bit out of the loop myself - I didn't really digest the switch to Hive in a good way, so I'm not around that often anymore. I never dived into communities, tbh, but I know about Ecotrain and Naturalmedicine.
I do still run the monthly challenge. The 27th edition is actually live now! 😁
I'll shamelessly plug my own community, Succulent Growers if you like that kind of thing
I have also seen The Green Thumb, for farmers Agricultural Mindset and I think that there is a homesteading community somewhere.
Then there's also Always a Flower not much gardening but still good for the eyes
