I never toss my seeds. Some of the flowers I am currently starting are from the 2019 seed catalog. This is my Lupine with a 50% germination success.

Many of us buy new seeds yearly and do not throw out old seeds. I have found that some seeds last past their advised expiration. Has anyone else seen the same thing? Do you test for viability? 🌱 #garden #seeds

Hammerheads (the garden variety) pose a threat to earthworms
Earthworms, as we know, are garden champions. But there's another worm out there that's toxic, deadly to our beloved earthworms and nearly impossible to kill.

Amazing! What a beautiful gift to continue to give.
When Bill Wilson, a co-founder of AA passed, a member of the fellowship took a cutting of an ivy from his garden back to Chicago. Folks he sponsored got cuttings and so on, and on till it got to me. And now I pass cuttings down to the folks I assist in the 12 steps of our program!

How many of us give plants as gifts? 🌱
I've gifted various plants to my mom over the years. I give my brother a lot of vegetable transplants I grow. One Christmas I gave my sister an orange tree per her request. My daughters grow succulents, so I surprise them with plants all the time.
