My Garden Is One Big Experiment, and I Love It!
Fruit trees, hydroponics, houseplants, vegetables, and plenty of experiments. Come see what's growing, what's struggling, and what I'm learning.
##There's Always Something Happening
One thing about me: I'm going to try growing something! 😂
Between my fruit trees, houseplants, vegetable beds, Tower Garden, and indoor Gardyn system, I've created quite the collection. And apparently, I still find reasons to bring home more plants.
Living in San Antonio means dealing with some interesting growing conditions. One week it's hot enough to cook outside, and the next I'm figuring out how to protect my plants from a cold snap.
I've experimented with hydroponics, propagating fig cuttings, training citrus branches, different fertilizers, pest treatments, grow lights, and plant placement. Some experiments have gone beautifully. Others have sent me right back to the drawing board.
##Why I'm Sharing the Journey
I want this space to show what gardening really looks like, especially for people growing in containers, small spaces, or challenging climates. We'll talk about what I plant, how I care for it, what products I use, and what happens when things don't go according to plan. I'll share the wins, but I won't hide the failures. Those are often where the best lessons come from.
And sometimes I'll just show you a beautiful new leaf because it made my day.
Gardening is part research, part patience, part creativity, and occasionally a whole lot of "What happened now?"
##Welcome to my growing adventure! 🌿
