Have fun! The weather sounds great!

Thank you. ☺️

All the best! Sorry to see you go, but safety first, of course!

Me, every single time:

*posts flower pic to gardening feeds*

*immediately forgets about it *

Later: “Oh my, why do I have 30+ notifications?!”

🤦‍♀️😂

Me neither! So pretty!🤩

Yes! I only found out today, though, when I decided to sniff a flower in front of my nose. 😂

Congrats! Well done, Harold! 👏👏👏

You have every right to be proud of yourself!

A small yellow daffodil in a sloppily mulched flower bed. I messed up the focus, so the flower itself is a bit blurry and one of its leaves to the left is in focus. It looks like it waves hi.

Tiny daffodil says hi! 🌱

A glorious mess of almond twigs covered in open white-pink flowers with dark pink centers. Bright blue sky in the background.

I am very much in love with my almond tree at this time of the year. 😍🌱

Well done, Lisi! Hands-on exercises are great. 👍

Well done! 👊👏

Thank you. I hope you won’t have to wait much longer! 🤞

Thank you! They are lovely indeed.☺️

A dark red Hellebore with about a dozen flowers in various stages looking into all directions except any that could be used for a nice picture. The overall impression is still nice, but it is a bit funny to look at, too. The leaves have a nice pattern of dark and light green and the plant sits in load of bark mulch as it’s a new flower bed and the plants are still small and far apart.

Me: Anyone up for a nice picture?

Shy Hellebore flowers: Nope, nope, nope … 🌱

I don’t get their logic. In public places, they have to stand and wait until someone talks to them first, but then they also go about knocking on people’s doors.

I do feel sorry for them, but any discussion with me would be pointless, so “no thank you” it is and no, you weren’t rude!

Oh no, hope you’ll feel better soon, Penny! 💙💐

Thank you, Penny! Wishing you the same on the other side of the pond (as my uncle from the US always says). 🕊️

Thanks so much, Gigi! ☺️

Wow, that’s hilarious! 🤣

Thanks so much! I’ve never seen one of those before. We have thicker (hard) foam rolls that probably serve the same purpose.

Thank you!

Thank you for protesting and for spreading hope (which is also very important). We know there are many decent folks in the US that don’t want any of this.

Thank you! We’re hoping for a midterm miracle (and fear the elections may not happen the way they should). As Germans, we know extremely well how fast things can go very very wrong. 🙈

Between all the wars going on right now, there’s hardly any airspace left to get from Europe to India without a detour via the US (where it also isn’t safe anymore!), it’s crazy.

It feels like war is creeping ever closer to us, even though this one is obviously further away from us than Ukraine.

Pretty terrible. We have family friends from Iran (and family and friends in the US). My husband needs to fly to India next week (for work). He was supposed to stop over in one of the countries that are now on the receiving end of retaliatory strikes.

I would never be fast enough for that. The bees love the flowers so much, it’ll probably always go to seed in my garden. 😂

But they’re so much fun to grow and harvest! Low maintenance (unlike those finicky tomatoes which I also love) and you get to dig for “Easter eggs” in the fall.

I’m most certainly of the “really wants potatoes” group. 😂

I’m sorry, but what’s a running stick in this context? I tried to look it up, but the results don’t make any sense. 😅

I lived in blissful ignorance for four hours thanks to disabled notifications and The Guardian being a bit slower to start reporting compared to CNN and then a post on Bluesky popped the bubble. 😩

My husband and I were even relieved that there was no war yet when it had already started. 🙈
