so i saw nasturtiums in a hanger in a 70s indoor plant magazine at the nursery and i was fucking impressed so now look at this beast (they we’re overtaking the garden a little bit)
neezieneezie replied to your photo: the chard is changing colour
Darlin’ how do you keep those hands so clean in the dirt with those lovely plants?!
haha!
funnily enough.. the only reason why my hands are so clean in that picture is because i just woke up. the fingernails on my right hand have becoming black since that photo was taken around an hour ago haha <3
koke-dera asked: how are your plants not getting eaten!?
some of them do get eaten! although.. i guess i have (accidentally) planted some decoys in my garden, like comfrey, borage and nasturtiums. a lot of the caterpillars munch those plants foliage pretty vigorously but they also grow back really rapidly so it’s good. my kale was very holey a few weeks ago but whatever was eating them has left. i donno, i have an abundance of plants and everything is big enough so when plants do get eaten, they never get completely eaten? this is a good question though sorry if i didn’t answer it well haha
hello i am an enormoussssss bromeliad (royal botanic gardens, sydney)
Alcantarea imperialis most likely!
There are lots of giant bromeliads here… I didn’t know they could get so big!! I have been meaning to take pictures for you, but either I forget or like when I went to the nursery there was an employee following me around and a man with what looked like a RIFLE working security (plants are apparently VERY valuable). So, needless to say, I was a bit too nervous to pull out my camera… I’ll keep trying though.
hahaha omg <3 thank you for the identification bromeliace !
