Addiction / myLot

Despite all the resolutions I made about no more ordering seeds online. I fell prey to the addiction and ordered periwinkles and tithonia seeds These flowers are kind of perennial but they have disappeared from the garden. They used to be in our garden for years but the weird weather and the wild trees that shade our garden are responsible for this What is it that you cannot give up?

This is a nice addiction. When you have a land, it is great to plant different things on it. I have lot of hobbies anyway

@allknowing If there is proper sunshine, then it will be easier for the plants to grow.

@youless I have had success with seeds that I got from my flowers. And incidentally landscaped garden designing and execution was my business and surely would know what is required for proper growth

I am learning to give up even my most cherished things. I have discovered lately that the only important thing is what is still in my memory.

Good luck reintroducing them to your garden; perhaps you could find them a good area in your garden with adequate sunlight for them to thrive again in your place.

You and my stepmom are definitely seed obsessed.

However, that’s a lot better addiction than most! I guess once I gave up Coke I gave up my biggest addiction. I’m sure there is something I just haven’t realized yet!

They do not do well here but I am hoping one day they will (lol) Giving up coke is a big effort.

The flowers are very beautiful.I like all the beautiful flowers, but I can't take care of them, so my experience of raising flowers has been a failure

One has to have an interest in gardening to be a success
