Got questions? 🌱, about Plants, Trees, how to properly use Social Media (If you LIKE it, SHARE IT, for your friends, even those who might need AltText) #INCLUSIVITY
And I'm happy to show you what DESCRIPTIVE TEXT is, I will answer in you language of choice, b/c I know what a Translator does 😆 #FIN
Dawn, the earth is in complete darkness. The ocean is showing, picking up first light from the sky, 90 minutes before sunrise. With the ocean behind, you see black silhouettes of Spruce Trees against the illuminating surface of the water. A QUOTE of Gautama Buddha below: "IN THE END, only three things matter: how much you loved, how gently you lived, an dhow gracefully you let go of the things not meant for you."

Do what brings you joy! As my husband and I age- we have a smaller vegetable and herb garden and focus on perennials in the rest of the yard. 🌱

TRUE STORY: 🌱
(For the love of dog, doesn't that old guy ever shut up, they said. 😆)
My cats jockey for space in a single patio door glass. (No sunny windows, I move plants AM & PM, outside & indoors. I needed that cat-window. So I designed & built a watering system holding 99 RS Cups of #trees.
While mentioning the rack in the window, this photo shows more, and they are outside. using small Hockey Stick size lumber, I built a frame, like an Easel and between the supports, I cut 8 foot plastic drain gutter into angled shelves that exactly fit a Red Solo Cup (Popular plastic disposable drink tumbler), and the original RACK could hold 99 cups. The design allows to pour water only once, at the top gutter, that fills, and then runs to the next row, angled the opposite way, in a zig zag fashion. At the bottom, a tray collects any water remaining and is reused daily to save time hauling more water and keep the floor dry inside. In various rows, there are Red and Blue cups (different types of trees) and a few Yogurt containers, the oval ones fit also. I've designed far better systems since, but I learned more as I grew. Mostly I grow trees from seed (as all these shown are grown)
