Never in a million yrs would I have thought I'd own a drill to make holes in plastic pots/planters but also an auger drill bit to break up compact soil & roots. 😏 #patiogarden

Me: I'm taking a break from gardening until after my recovery.

Also me: 2.5 wks into recovery you know I could just grow some herbs & a few flowers. 👀😭

The boy will probably help me, he's a good kid when he's not being a jerky teenager whom I love to pieces. 🥰 #patiogarden

Spring & summer are my favorite gardening seasons. I'm currently doing research on loofah & dipper gourds for next yr as the garden rests while I recover from surgery. I decided to not have a fall season which was hard but necessary. #patiogarden

Watered my towers this morning & there was a grasshopper on the petunias. I'd never seen one up close & I wasn't impressed. 😒🤣 #patiogarden

I have to cut down the last of the zinnias becuz they have asters disease. 😒 I also have to get rid of ALL the seeds I saved becuz before I knew something was wrong I mixed new & old saved seeds together to put in envelopes. I'm pissed!! 🤬🤬 #patiogarden

All the basils 🌿
