There is plenty of wild greenery around the garden and in the forest this spring. In particular, I’ve noticed an explosion of garlic mustard plants which seem to have popped up along our path and throughout the forest this year. #gardening#plants#forests
The local #BCForestry research centre is only a few minutes from our home. Apparently they had a plant sale recently. My youngest brother told me they were selling daphne seedlings. DA FUQ! Daphne is super #invasive & many of us longtime nature stewards & guardians have been trying to remove it from local forests, parks & public greenspaces for over 2 decades! Yet, our shit #BCgovernment thinks it's OK to sell them to unaware public?!? I'll post pic of a daphne #plants they tried selling soon.
Our white #lilac tree is now over 8 feet tall.
I originally #propagated this from a small cutting, taken for free from a construction demolition site, 10 yrs ago.
It smells fabulous 🥰

Hopefully I'll get more than 2 cantaloupes this year. Last year was my first time trying to grow cantaloupes. Most of them failed due to neglect. I was too stressed/overwhelmed after my Dad died from long covid cardiac arrest early last June - many of my plants didn't make it.
Side gardens. Our #strawberries patch is bursting with lots of flowers & baby #fruits. I'm patiently waiting for them to mature & ripen up.
We grow strawberries in front & back gardens too. It's one of our fave fruits to eat, so we grow lots of them. We grow new #strawberry#plants to give away & some to sell, from propagating runners.
Yes I have a #plants problem, but luckily the #garden centre is always able to take my money 😆. Painted the planters with concrete paint, and got 6 #cotoneaster plants in them. Also bought a few other plants of course. @plants
These are 'whipped cream flowers' I saw on the street I ran down today. 🏃♂️
I have been seeing these flowers everywhere the past few days.
Perhaps Mountain Laurel is suited to the hot and humid Japanese climate.
(in my opinion)🧐😊

It takes tremendous biological creativity to be a plant. To survive and thrive while rooted in a single spot, plants have adapted ingenious methods...
Did some repotting yesterday. Some of our plants had outgrown their pots. The big one in the photo has been with us for probably 4.5 years and has grown so much. It feels good to have taken care of something for so long.
