the thing about becoming an adult is suddenly they'll allow you to buy the fun toys like a chainsaw but then you have to think about well that's quite a bit of money for a toy and where will i keep it and how often am i really going to use a chainsaw in my day to day life anyways and then you decide you shouldn't actually buy the chainsaw

sorry for missing stuff out or combining stuff this is the max number of options tumblr let me list

Lucipurr helped me deadhead and pot the rescued petunias from work

They were going to get thrown out so naturally I brought home as many as I could carry

who knew a full time job would take up all my time and leave me exhausted on my free time

I went back downstairs today to see if planting my bulbs at night disturbed the earth in a way a casual passerby would notice. I don't think so, most people are notoriously unobservant of already familiar spaces.

But I found a lot more cigaret butts and litter, which I never really noticed before (did I tell you that most people are notoriously unobservant of already familiar spaces?). Somehow, just by planting a few bulbs, and thinking about what I could put here in the spring, I suddenly feel responsible for a bit of land that's not my own. Weird, huh?

not my dumb ass that immediately went ah yes. weather man (gender neutral)

when like. i’m literally already a gardener. that’s already my job.

Random fact: They did a study on courtship and mating behavior of American alligators at the St. Augustine Alligator Farm in the early 1980's. This study revealed that, among other things, the majority of alligator sex is gay

10/4/23 ~ One of my classes I’m taking this semester that I haven’t mentioned is Horticulture Pest Control. I know, I know… I want to do sustainable gardening. That’s what I was thinking when I found out I had to take this class for my program.

And what’s funny is, if I pass my license exam, I’ll be a certified pest control person 😆

I’m learning the pros and cons to pest control and it’s actually very interesting. How to culturally do it before it even becomes a problem and then taking chemical actions if it is a problem. But it is very interesting learning both sustainable and non-sustainable sides of pest control. And how we actually add a bunch of our unwanted pest in our yard by doing certain things we think help our yard.

Maybe I’ll get into that sometime, I don’t know 😆 Would any of you be interested in things of that nature? Or nah?!😂

Anywayyyy —

I am being sustainable, and that’s what I’ve always done and always wanted in my garden. So I’m going to stick to my guns & continue to treat my yard/plants with organic, botanical and/or biological practices 👩🏻‍🌾

I’m learning about biological & botanical pesticides, fungicides & herbicides. So far in the garden - I’ve handpicked all my problems, used neem oil & diatomaceous earth. Since I’m educating myself, I may invest and try out some new biological products for my garden for the next year. 😇 It’s all about learning & testing things out yourself, folks!

One thing that pisses me off is people seeing fish in aquariums (the establishments, not home aquariums) and being like “It’s so sad because the ocean is so big and the tank is so small and they’ll never know freedom blah blah blah-“ I’m not talking about sharks and marine mammals here but the majority of fish are not at all bothered by being in an aquarium instead of the open ocean. Like, I personally would love to be a little clown fish in one of those big reef tanks. Fed regularly. Whole team of people monitoring my health and well-being. No predators. Medicated if I show signs of illness. Aquarium fish have cushy gigs in comparison to their wild companions.
