Not sure if many of you know term we use for the gardner or plant lover who grows naturally nice flower gardens or plants.
Enjoying spring weather most in my opinion look to beautifying outdoor life around home.. as like many after a long winter such as our’s, winter damage, my bushes and flowers needed some loving and attention. Turning over soil, removing the limpy things or dead things, saying hello, I place some new fresh dirt, and say happy spring. This is all I really do mostly, and response from little care the plants thrive, bloom and happy.
Now our weather again is unusually funny and have found myself once again outdoors, raking, cleaning, putting to sleep my bedding for our soon colder season. Sad to see them go, hope they survive thru winter.
I am not sure what I do indoors with very large plants thru out home or outdoors, but with little care and maintenance my plant family does extremely well..
So how is your green thumb? Do you put much effort into your gardening, or things just grow naturally for you. Many tell me I have a green thumb, what about you..?

I used to have lots of tubs and baskets infact i used to make them for everyone in the street. Got a bit fed up being taken for granted so i stopped doing them i also didnt have the time to maintain them. Now all i have are evergreen bushes,a rose of sharon bush that flowers beautiful yellow flowers all through the summer, lots of hydrangeas , palm trees and my most fav my monkey tail tree also known as a Araucaria araucana tree hes about 30ft tall 20 years old( i know hes male by the shape of his fruit ) Thats another job needs doing, i need to shape my bush
might have a go this weekend if the weather holds out.-

Love the pics as usual sophia.
I had many lovely trees on my property as once a portion abbuted to farm land.. had cows wander on property. Too funny.. years of over development, new homes, the country setting disappearing. How sad…
My cherry, apple and peach trees were awesome. Recalls jam making, pies, storing in Mason jars. Much work before animal creatures found feast. Lol. We compete to pull off at exactly right time.
Sadly over the years, trees died off, destroyed in storms, or as said winter months destruction from weather.
So basically now many of my flowering items in boxes around railings close by so creatures cant eat, or purchase some things critters not like. Lol…
So little pruning, talking, fresh soil well love and attention assume too, they bloom appropriate times but sadly shorter periods. Think weather conditions giving them headache too. Lol. Rather sleep and wait…..
My indoor plants loved too. Listen to much music and think they like that hee. Stimulates the roots. Lol.

Milky, geez just moving around my suit cases, lol packing again..bringing no sticky stuff this time. But will be prepared again with wet wipes.
Mother nature seems to be coming through with a storm of a multitude magnitude no one seen in history. 1 million people evacuating already..3 states effected possible. Several feet of rain. So worrisome for so many people.
If you have family or friends in those locations know that Govenors of States, President, On top of it. Said rains higher than homes, flooding impacts. All ready discussing power outages… we here in East Coast not sure how it will come yet. Military deployed for safety. Thousands. Nursing homes, hospitals, prisons wow being evacuated.
So know our prays and support go to those who may be in need, or if you have those you know. We take good care of our own. They will have hardships but we always stand united..
