I know how you feel. My friend Henry ( who's garden is included in garden tours) tells everyone if I had a rock garden, the ROCKS  would die.

 

He's right.

I'm so happy for you!!!

leaves from a sweet potato...how cool is that!

 now  that is encouraging to me.

 yup, the little things do make us smile...glad for it too.

do you think i could grow something from the seeds in my birdfood?

There is something exciting about growing plants/flowers from seeds.  It's almost like seeing life bloom!

 

Magnolia....my grandmother used to do that with a sweet potato and it made the prettiest vine behind her kitchen sink by the window.  I had forgotten about doing that.

 

Gsees....the only thing I've ever grown from birdseed is grass sprouts.  I used to put birdfeeders outside around my flower beds but then wild grass would sprout up and I'd have to weed the flower beds more often.  I know there are some birdseeds that doesn't do that but I always move my feeders back from the beds now. 

 

One of the things I love is seeing an odd flower pop up like a sunflower, where a bird has dropped one of the seeds in their flight.  Sometimes nature gives us beautiful surprises.

i got an avacado to grow...once....long long time ago...

in a galaxy far far away....

then i had to move, and killed the darn thing.
