Plant people I need help!
I mostly focus on gardening but I’m trying to get some houseplants to thrive and I’m being overrun by soil gnats. What have you used that actually works?

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Quote of the day:
“People speak of hope as if it is this delicate, ephemeral thing made of whispers and spider's webs.
It's not.
Hope has dirt on her face, blood on her knuckles, the grit of the cobblestones in her hair, and just spat out a tooth as she rises for another go.”

Gladiolus for your #bloomscroll.
This is the Black Star gladiolus. It’s currently the closest to black gladiolus that you can find, great for a #gothgarden.
My phone camera tends to pick out reds a bit more, so the flower is actually a bit darker and blacker than in the photo. #garden #flowersky

I’m loving my collection so far but what other books do I need to add?
I’m looking for any books about plants, gardening, botanical history, etc.
(This isn’t my whole collection but it’s not too much bigger)

For a long time I felt guilty about my love for gardening - I felt like with the state of the world that my garden hobby wasn’t actually making a difference anywhere. What does picking tomatoes solve?
Recently, I’ve begun to understand how gardening really is a radical act.

Two years ago I themed my whole garden as a “goth” midnight garden. Everything I planted, I found the closest to black varieties.
What do you think? Should I do it again? Should I try a different theme this year?
