Basil (the herb) is a whore and you should know that before your second year with it in the flower bed

#emma posts #so is cilantro #my mom was like ‘oh you can have a few plants I want to use in the kitchen. right?’ #and I was a teenager and my raised beds are on family property so I didn’t really have a choice #but. while the kale was pretty normal. THE CILANTRO AND ARUGULA WERE WHORES #whores I did NOT sign up for #I wanted the basil myself so dealing with that is annoying but whatever #but the worst part is that my mom didn’t even eat the plants she had me grow!!! #she ate ones I decided to grow because the family likes strawberries and raspberries #I need to get mint again #and sage #but ANYWAY #I did know that all of these plants were whores #i just wasn’t there when they first started sprouting #I’m going to be going home more often this month and my mom wants the yard looking good for my brothers graduation party #so today was my first garden day of the year #it was nice but my back hates me and I really should have worn gloves (I didn’t know where my mom put mine) #but I hope the plants do well while I’m gone #the basil should be fine. I’d be genuinely surprised if that hoard all died #but the new plants i added for it to look better. those I’ve never had myself #although I’ve wanted to #don’t think I have a green thumb. it’s maybe greenish but half the work is done by the dirt here #it’s just like ‘on it boss 👍’ #I should move some catnip into my garden #the stuff in front of my parents house could use some seperating #my strawberries were little bitches last year though so I have to be extra careful this year #I like the variety I have and I don’t know what it’s called so if it dies I’m out of luck #it’s a really cool variety. it actually blooms twice a summer #I can’t keep plants alive inside very long though:( #except my current African violet that takes anything I throw at it

Two of my hens have started to get broody in the last month or so and I'm so excited!!! Because it is spring and the flowers are blooming and volunteer plants are popping up and my seedlings are started and!!!! We should have chicks anytime now.

My pain really gets to me in the cold months. It seeps into my bones and joints and stays there for the duration of the winter.

I feel I look forward to spring more and more each passing year.

#I love my backyard #I fight with my mom every year to let the native plants grow #it is so pretty when they're allowed to #and the chickens love it too

maybe im projecting but i feel like Ollie would have a FUCKING HUGE monstera plant in his house thats taking over his living room

#ollie #anytime someone asks about it hes just ''good camouflage for me :]'' #in fact i feel like he would have a shit load of plants from his home continent that his mom keeps sending him #but again maybe im projecting AHA #like yeah he can forge weapons of war with his eyes closed and can maul a grown man to death but dammit that man knows his PLANTS #anyway i got a monstera over the winter bc ive wanted one for the longest time but i was sO scared of killing it #bc its higher maintenance than succulents and snake plants all that #and brother i aint got the remembrance or energy or executive function to be taknig care of high maintenance plants but luckily #my obsession has taken over and im doin pretty good keeping up with watering and i plan on getting it better soil for fertilization #it seems to be doing well and is even growing 3 new leaves AAOOOOO #one of the juvenile leaves even grew a lil hole in it and im :') #but i still gotta properly repot it and actually put poles in it to climb bc theyre kinda half ass put in there #but sPRING IS COMING i am ready #also have a monster adinsoniiiiiiihowever tf u spell it but same applies #i feel like just having 1 (or 2 kindof) that are high maintenance is goin good bc i can focus most of my energy on that like a pet PFFT #bc unfortunately i fear that if i had a shit load of high maintenance plants i would get overwhelmed and involuntarily make them all die #which SUCKS bc i want my house to be infested with so many plants sOOO BAD ugh maybe one day i wont be mentally ill lmfao 💗 #ANYWAY more pon ti comin soon

Need me a badge that says "always gets checked at Dublin airport security"

#linked rambling #linky's adventures in ireland #i don't think i ever went through security without the gates beeping or my bag getting checked #i don't have metal on me except my rings so #maybe that's it?? #i need to remember if i removed the second bottle of hand sanitizer my mom planted in my backpack #pretty sure i did #then what is wrooooong

I spend a lot of time at home so every time I go out to the city for any reason I am violently reminded of two things;

I am, in fact, Panromantic and find Everyone Pretty

I stare very intensely at people I find ~Attractive~

#Went to Cinci for my birthday today and man #There's a lotta pretty people in the city #Ran into my mom and made her drop her drink staring at this butch couple that came into the pizza place we were getting lunch at #And later did not take my eyes of this girl in a Sanrio jacket with pink hair until she got off the Tram (which was like 15 minutes) #(And even then I watched her walk down the block until we rolled away) #Thank GOD she was so interested in her phone I don't think she noticed #I really gotta get better at that I don't wanna be weird and make people uncomfortable #If I was ever confronted about it I would just flat out say #'Oh sorry I'm Autistic and kinda just Stare at people I find attractive I'll stop if it makes you uncomfortable though sorry' #One time I full face planted because I was staring at a girl while walking down the street in Covington #And she for sure saw dksjgkjgkfdg #I did this too Zayne too when he came to visit me btw!!!!!!! #I brushed it off as like 'It's just so cool that I CAN look at you like you're here!' #But it was 100% just this habit of mine acting up dkgjdfjkgf #Wikihow to stop Doing This it's Weird

Snowy lane from the family farm.

#my mom and I are trading winter pictures today #snow #trees #winter #fun family history - we planted all those trees #so not only pretty but also specifically deliberately created for that

[guinevereslancelot]

sitting in a blooming garden would fix me

#flowers WHEN #i have one teeny snowdrop just starting to form a flower 🥲 #worried its going to get killed by the cold front coming in tho #its an early blooming fancy one that honestly probably won't live idk what i was thinking when i bought it #literally nothing else is close to flowering tho #i just get so anxious for spring flowers in january i start blowing money pre ordering stuff tho #i ordered a bunch of snowdrops and some bare root hydrangeas and roses #idek how im gonna plant them the ground is probably frozen and we're about to get a foot of snow #what is wrong with me #the hydrangeas tho were a gift from my mom #i've wanted the white kind for a really long time and i told her one of my friends might get married at our house in the next few years #so she ordered them so they'll have time to establish and we'll have big beautiful white flowers for her wedding #which was really nice of her #anyway my friend was so excited and touched when i offered :') #she's not officially engaged but she's halfway thru her degree and she and her bf are planning to get married soon after they both graduate #so in two or three years the hydrangeas should be pretty well established and nice for a wedding #anyway im off track but im excited for all the stuff i ordered to be beautiful and blooming this summer #less excited to figure out how to plant them 🤔 #the roses are shipping at ideal planting time in april but the hydrangeas are coming this week for some reason #i cant plant those??? in january??? #i will have to try ig #i probably can we'll see #this has been a shitpost

there is something inherently tragic yet freeing about knowing that, even though you didn't get what you needed when you were younger, it's still possible to build that life for yourself as an adult.

you're not trapped or destined for loneliness. you can always build. again and again and again, as many times as you need to. the love and the freedom and the kindness and the connection, it's all waiting for you. you'll get there.

#was spiraling pretty bad this weekend #its been a year and a half since my brother died #my mom is going through another psychotic episode unfortunately and isnt really all there #my dad is trying but hes also not supportive of me being trans so theres some contention there #my car keeps breaking down #my cat got out of my apartment last night and scared me half to death; thankfully rescued her from the street before she got too far #a horse died really traumatically two weeks ago at the ranch (literally bled out all over me) #and all of these things put together meant that i felt so fucking powerless and hopeless. #i felt like life had given me a bad hand #and i was just suffering for no reason #BUT #i realized at some point that there *are* things i have control over #like being kind to myself and others #being courageous despite the fears #feeding and washing myself and tending to my plants #playing games and completing pretty puzzles and reading good books #finding sea glass at the beach #a new favorite song #getting a big ol bear hug from my roommate #everything is hard but there is good. there is still good and its worth finding and building #trying to remind myself of this every day #text

so i just became insanely emotionally attached to a pair of caterpillars

#you see the thing is. they appeared on my gf's mom's ornamental olive tree and we were curious to what they were #fast forward a couple of weeks and they eat almost all of the olive tree. so now we move them to their individual enclosures #but they don't wanna eat anything at first so then i find out that caterpillars usually only like to eat from the plant were they hatched #but i there's basically no more olive tree and idk where to get an olive tree on such short notice and they are very expensive #so it's like having a cat that only wants to eat caviar and im currently looking for olive trees or ppl with an olive tree that would #be willing to give me some cuttings for the caterpillars. turns out eventually that one of them doesn't mind eating other things #but the other one im not sure like i haven't seen her eat but im pretty sure she ate a leaf last night but idk #is it wishful thinking? am i going insane? i don't know but i am so emotionally attached to them it's crazy #🐌

Every time I look out of my bedroom window I see the random cabbage next to my mailbox and it fills me with an emotion I cannot describe

#its not planted or anything #its just laying there #my moms friend dropped it off for her i think #but for some reason she hasn't taken it inside yet? #its a savoy cabbage if that is of importance to anyone #its a very pretty cabbage. its just. very there. #what if someone steals our cabbage? #also its been absolutely pouring and theres been lightning #she just doesn't care #the poor cabbage just sits in our front yard #its been sitting there since yesterday MAYBE the day before that but i dont think so #maybe its because im sick but i feel very deeply about this cabbage #i know what the cabbage man from atla felt now #molotov talks

Kel kel kel kel!!!

no horny this time uwu //hit

I saw your Nari post and tags about orchids and immediately knew I HAD to show you this. Now idk anything about plants tbh;;;; but this beauty was from my late grandmother and now is at my aunt's house, I think it blooms like once or twice a year according to them?? This pic is a couple years old had to dig up on my gallery to find it LOL but I wanted you to have this gorgeous pwetty flower in your blog!! 💕

(also also fun fact, the national flower of my home country is an orchid! hehe more specifically the cattleya mossiae)

omgggg those are SUCH STUNNING BABIEEEEESSSS 😭 I LOVE ORCHIDS SM YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW!! i'm cooing at the fact that both your sweet grandmother and your aunt have raised this lovely phalaenopsis orchid and kept it alive all these years! it's true they don't bloom constantly...esp if they're kept indoors...once or twice a year sounds about right. thank you, love, i feel like you sent me flowers for real AND THEY'RE MY FAVES?? *POUTING COOING TEARS WELLING UP IN MY EYES* 🥹🤲🏼

i feel like that's the kind of thing tighnari would do though. he'd make constant mental notes (if not literal notes in his notebook) about what kinds of flowers his love likes the most and bring them "samples" anytime he comes across them when he's out on forest patrol. 💚

that is so cool that your home country's national flower is the cattleya mossiae! cattleya's are so dainty and frilly...i think they look like really pretty vaginas tbh lol.

meanwhile, i've been adopting, raising, and caring for plants for almost all my adult life and this is what my orchid looks like. 💀 i have a theory that you can love plants to death psshshsh...

you can almost hear him crying “hellllp meeee!!!”

#kel.answers 💌 #precious.moot: crys 🦋 #orchids are so mysterious and magical #i just wanna be a good orchid mama #i've got plants that i've had for around 2 decades that are literally taller than me (which isn't saying much but still) #THEY'RE ALIVE AND KICKIN #meanwhile i kill orchids #when i see them in stores i look at them and coo at them abt how pretty they are but i dare not buy them #no bc i want them to live #i'm gonna be really sad the day this one dies bc it was my mom's whose plants i adopted after she passed in january #i really wanna keep it alive in her memory #maybe tighnari could help me skskskssksss

being autistic is kind of really funny. i can tell you all the nitty gritty of misunderstood animals, the history of certain events and holidays that are celebrated, and take up extremely difficult and precision based hobbies but if i'm in a loud or disorganized environment my brain turns off

#▿ #i'm planning on taking up bug raising and pinning :-))) #i want to start by raising a tarantula or orchid mantis since they're pretty easy but i also plan on raising goliath beetles and atlas moths #i have to start gardening as well but i know i'm gonna have difficulties with remembering what needs how much water when #plus pests!! i hate to use insecticides but i don't want my plants to be eaten #i know there are certain plants you can grow to keep pests away but then you a plant for that plant and then it snowballs #also recently i had to explain the history of stonewall to my younger sheltered friend #because she was saying things like 'it's too hot during pride' i don't see why cops shouldn't be there' stuff like that #she gets it now tho #some context for the cop part; i was reading an article where a pride event said police officers could go to pride but not in uniform #and they were upset over it because blah blah blah whatever #and she didn't understand why because she thought police had to be there to 'protect' the event goer's #so i explained the first 'pride event' being a 3 day long riot between the community and cops #and she was like 'ohhh yeah fucks cops' #anyway sorry. i'm rambling. except i'm not sorry + your mom

Being an adult is Bad because the bank will give you access to a credit card and then you will sped too much money on a Monster High doll because by the time that line came out I was too old for dolls and I thought they were the fucking coolest shit I've ever seen so yeah, I bought a god damn glorified barbie (even made by Matel) because it's cool as fuck looking and I always wanted those dolls as a kid.

Which leads to the best part of being an adult, being able to buy stupid toys that will be for display only and enjoying your dumb little toy the way any child would lol

#winters ramblings #seriously it was SUCH a dumb buy because it was pretty pricy but also i didnt get to live the original hype either #i think being an adult means you should get all the dumb shit you didnt get when you were a kid #which involved asking my mom for furbies for Christmas but not modern abominations the og furbies #so hopefully she might have luck with that lmao #in theeantime i have like 30 plants amd theyre all wonderful!! #guess this doll version is also nonbinary so thats meaningless to me but cool for kids!!
