All I need is to know that I can, I really can. Everybody's had become busy with plants. Me, on the other hand is still hesitant. Theirs are ornamental, me was more of vegetables. Way back in High school, I know I took care of our small garden in Cagayan Valley, where the weather is much colder than here in Ilocos Sur., so growing plants was easier for me. I tried hard to keep me getting into plants but, it was hard, thus the hesitation. But then, I always buy seeds, keep them and thinking when to plant them. Then someone gave me a lemon, after watching youtube videos on planting, germinating, etc., I give it a try. Out of the four seeds, one survived and growing.. And it inspired me to try planting again. From the simple eggplant, to few ornamental. I can pat my back and say to myself... "Glad, you didn't give up." There are times that I wanted to give up on things, but every time i am hanging by a thread, something/someone is pulling be back. May we all not give up on the things we know we can make it through.

There is a great satisfaction seeing a plant sprouting from the seeds we planted. I love to seed my plants. Your lemon looks good.

Ohhh, this was me exactly a year ago. We have a yard, but I didn't get serious about planting until the pandemic stuff started. Your lemon story reminds me of my mango plants . . . we germinated mango seeds from mangos we ate . . . and thus far 4 are doing pretty well. Never give up . . . and hopefully the seeds/plants never give up on us either .

@Lucky15 You seem to have a talent for growing edibles - that's good! You can eat vegetables and fruits - you can't eat flowers .

When we see growth from seeds, it truly is satisfying. I have grown avocado from seeds. And i have harvested my kalamansi na.

@Lucky15 When i was still a student, i threw atis seeds in our yard because it’s my favorite fruit. It grew and bore lots of fruits! But when i left home, it started to die. It’s not there anymore.

Not that interested in plants too, but decided to plant some fruits and they lived. Veggies and fruits are better than ornamental though, at least you can eat them haha
