I love to garden, create art, sew cosplay, play with my cats and figure out how to move in the world while making it better. Will post a lot of my garden stuff here. YT: A Rose Grows in Harlem and rebranding soon. 🌟🌱
every year i plan and then do something different. finally stopped a subscription service for an online garden planner because I'm paying to not follow through. lol

just imagine... others see your garden and are impressed with what you have done! 💞

Interesting. Are they from the big box store? The marigolds I grow from seed have bees, moths, butterflies and other flying insects on them constantly. Sometimes the bees even fall asleep on them 💗 These were the varieties I grew from seed:

Dwarf French
Sparky Mix

YAY! You can plant a LOT of things in 5 gallon buckets. And if you're crafty (and extroverted) you can get food grade buckets for free from deli's, supermarkets, and bakeries.

If you don't mind the recommendation, YT has tons of videos for gardening in a small space, especially gallon buckets. 🌱💖

I have 3 elderberry bushes, maybe 4? 😁 They are in 15 & 20 gallon cloth grow bags (zone 8A, Georgia). They will cane and grow more in just about anything you put them in. If you keep them small you should be fine with a 5 gallon bucket!

Also have raspberries in cat litter containers (4.5 gallon).
