Yes, I said it.
Most of what I brought home last year is no longer alive. Some plants are, and some aren't. Was it too little water, was it the critters, was it just a bad plant from the nursery? I don't know, and frankly, I am not interested in finding out. Because of that, I am out! No more new plants, bushes, flowers, or bulbs. Whatever is here can grow, and I will water it, but I don't want to keep spending money and time on things that will just die. And to be honest, I have a million other things going on right now which deserve my time more than those plants. I might get a few mums for fall, but that is not really gardening, that's just bringing home a potted plant!
My composter is not going to die out, though. I have too few 'green' additions (meaning not much grass or leaves), so as I do collect some of that material, I will add food waste. Otherwise, the food waste is too much and makes an awful smell, creates millions of fuitflies, and attracts rats. I'll still compost, insha'Allah, because that doesn't require work (or an investment!).
So, for now, it'll be about homeschooling and other green things of interest!
Thanks for reading and feel free to comment :)
