Wildflowers
Which do you like more, boring green lawns full of imbalance or a beautiful wildflower garden in your yard?
I'll always take the latter.
Baffled
Some lawncare company workers were going door to door, doing their thing. And I politely declined.
When asked why I didn't want them spraying my yard, I said, "We don't do that here."
He asked, "It is because of toxic chemicals?"
That made me laugh. Because many of these companies are now saying their sprays aren't toxic, and a lot of them are now naturally derived but anytime you spray large amounts of even natural deterrents it causes an imbalance and I'm well aware of this.
So, I replied, "Because we want to live as naturally as possible."
It's the truth and it baffles too many people.
This cherry tree
Already so sweet
Baby apples are so cute
IDK why more people don't adopt apple trees.

Garden Protection Spell
If you keep a garden or even just a few houseplants, use the spell to protect them and to encourage healthy, flourishing growth. This spell can be used for any type of plant, indoor or out.
Visualize your plants in perfect health; picture of the ideal growing conditions. Imagine an invisible protective shell or bubble around the plants that allow are, light, and water to enter But repels anything harmful, such as pests and disease.
Add a quartz crystal to the bed or soil if desired, and as a protective measure. Chant:
Roots grow deep, and branches strong, growing season full and long
Bless this garden and its yield, protected with a magic shield
Let no weather, pests, or blight harm these plants, day or night

“After last year’s lockdowns and food shortages, a trend to be more self-sufficient has grown. Throughout the country, more and more people are moving away from cities to start homesteading.”

Everyday my apple trees look more treeish
The cherry tree not so much... but she did produce 1 flower because #sassy
My little baby apple trees are all happy and green and the sour cherry tree is over here... being sour
It’s got a little green at the top, but is definitely my sassy baby
I’ve always wondered why every homeowner doesn’t have fruit trees.
They are a little bit of work but offer a huge return. If you’re interested in growing some fresh juicy love, I recommend this farm. They know what’s up.
Nothing tastes better than the fresh picked fruits of your own labor. No air smells sweeter than when supplied by flowers grown with your own two hands.
