frankly? ban all plastics. require all public buildings to be solar powered. public community gardens in every neighborhood. ban all pesticides. ban fossil fuels. put wind turbines on every sky scraper. gardens on every rooftop. tax cars and fund public transportation. build bike lanes across every city. train/railroad infrastructure across the country (tear down highways). every state mandated to have a certain percentage of land be a wildlife preserve. local/organic farms get huge tax breaks. raise the minimum wage. aquaponics farms in every city. every family has chickens in their backyard. community composting. jeff bezos’s body for fertilizer. i have a clear idea of what i want the world to look like and i want it now. hire me
here is your gentle reminder that there are dandelions growing through cracks in the sidewalk. there is a fence lizard on the porch who is growing a new tail. there are trees growing through an abandoned house, branches tearing through the ceiling, ferns carpeting the floor. there is life pushing forward, pushing through.
Eytukan, The Plant.
I've had Eytukan for about 2 or 3 months now and it's been quite a beautiful experience he already had a few leaves when I get him but today I noticed it was time for him to get his first leaf cut off. plants grow too fast for me :( I wish they could stay small and cute but watching them grow up is an amazing experience honestly. he is so healthy and strong he loves his new pot I had to report him bec he wasn't doing so well in the training pot which I found kinda weird but once I got him in this Terracotta pot he just jumped back to life. I have also been misting him every few days and he always looks so perky the next day >.< it's so cute to see, oh and he's not the only plant I own, like 40 plant's but this on is just soo cute i had to blog about him XD
Hate to repost someone else’s work, but had to share this amazing video!
Look at those roots! Chlorophytum comosum aka spider plant! Finally found one and discovered her amazing root structure when re-potting! She desperately needed a bigger container and is hopefully feeling nice and cozy in her new bigger bucket!
Some of my co-workers chipped in to get me this adorable assortment for my birthday! Begonia, fern, and some other friends as well! A welcomed addition to the family 😋
I cannot find a spider plant anywhere to save my life!! Tomorrow is my birthday and I’m incredibly disappointed to start my 23rd year of life off without a proper spider plant. SOS!! Someone send me a spider plant!
I guess you could say gardening runs in the family. Pictured is my grandmother, 79, with the new raised beds my uncle made for her. 10/10. Grandma approves.
Finally got some of my small hydroponics set up! Two romaine lettuce plants and one buttercrunch!
Plant DIY has taken up a majority of free time(I’m not complaining.)
For this DIY, I repurposed some regular mouth mason jars, cut up an old shower loofa I had laying around, and cut off part of a plastic bottle to help hold it all together!
I added fish fertilizer to the water to support the repotting process, and used perlite in the bottom of the loofa. I chose to utilize the soil that the roots had originally come in to help stabilize them.
Any hydroponics advice??
Because I’m an apartment dweller, I decided to try this compost bin DIY out of an old litter pail I was waiting to recycle! I drilled multiple holes in it, and the lid seals to keep my two feline monsters out of it! The pile is small, but so is my garden. I’m slowly working towards self sustainability!
New plant hangers made by yours truly out of old t shirts! They aren’t perfect but they get the job done! ☺️
April plant challenge day 16: pots! They’re technically pot hangers, but they’re cute so I’m counting them.
Veggies/herbs, using repurposed glass jars from our garbage!
Begonia Rex, Aloe Vera, and Vinca. Welcome to the family ladies!
