Marigold

I planted marigolds back in 2021 from the first time and I loved them. In 2022 I wanted to take a break, so decided not to plant anything, not knowing that I was going to get several free plants. I got several free cherry tomatoes, tomatillos that fruited A LOT! But I also got marigolds, many of them just sprouted and I was so happy, as they don't usually regrow in our region. It is November now, and I still got one more marigold here. 🐝 💚 🌺

Plants aren’t cute in the same way that kittens are, but there’s something about saplings that’s so adorable! To think that giant shade trees like the Northern Red Oak start this tiny..🥺 so cute

It’s five inches tall and has 3 leaf

They are underneath our deck, so they get afternoon sun, then it is all indirect light.

Some of them I had for a few years, you can see a few ferns, the amazing spider plant expansion with cuttings only! Many of the succulents too, have grown over the years. 💚

Like the Boston fern on the right side. I rotated her to grow new leaves, but damn look at the size change. I got her in a 6 inches pot back in 2017 and placed her in a dark room... Yeah, that didn't go well and she was dying on me, so I ran for her life and repotted her in this pot and placed her on our side yard at our previous house, covered by trees. She loved it there and regrew beautifully.

Then she moved with us to our current home. I had to put her on the back of my pickup truck, wrap her in beach towels and locked her with bungee cords and drove on the freeway for about 1hr.

She is strong and I love her so much! 💚

That's me, enjoying my morning coffee with my husband and appreciating all of these plants!
