New house plants and the cutest auto waterers!

I'll give you my hot tip on how I care for my house plants.
I take them outside in the summer, where they get huge and beautiful and then bring them in during winter months. They are then brought to the edge of death, till it is time to go back out.
Repeat year after year, the strongest survive.😅

++ lots of teas! In bulk too.😍

Soo I am a little behind on messages. Life has been crazy, but a lot of them were about hibiscus varieties.
This is what we have right now.

Lilac crush! Are you kidding me? I didn't know that was an option before now.😍

There are only two... but I love them all!

We have many perrenials to choose from and the annuals are still on sale and HEALTHY.

May I recommend you turn your supplemental garden into a victory garden?

Tomatoes AND peppers are 50% off right now.

The people with 3 tomato plants have me stressed out. 😅

I also am a terrible influence, and will tell you to plant 80 for your 4 person family so...maybe consult a more reasonable person. 🤣

It is not too late to get the cut flower garden you want in! We have starts!!

What you do with them is up to your own imagination...but bringing in a bouquet from your own yard, might be in the top 10 of most satisfying things ever!
