A partial list: 1 clematis, and the rest are edibles: 1 geranium, 4 dianthus, 5 nasturtium, parsley, lemon thyne, Greek oregano, a bunch of marigolds to help keep bad insects away, bee balm, mesclun mix, echinacea and about 10 of garlics, but that was already there from a couple of months back. @Lane metaphorically speaking I like the concept of my brain being planted with new, less negative thoughts along with these plants.

i would love to see the progression of their growth and flowering. my clematis is currently blooming. One of the colors anyway. i planted 3 and they grew together. Purple, which is blooming now, white and a blue. Loads of buds all over it, so i am hopeful this will be the largest amount of flowers it will have put forth so far.

@AmberMarie Your colour mix of blue white and purple is lovely. I'm in the PNW, so probably not going to get flowers anytime soon especially as it's just been planted. the new one is creamy white with a touch of pink; and there are two others already growing, one magenta, one violet with a purple center. I'd take pics but the garden box doesn't look good yet. I have put sticks criss-crossing over all the seeded areass due to the neighbor's cats trying to sh** in there.

I stopped trying long ago. I view the human animal and the quote from Terminator 2 comes to mind when Arnold tells the teen John Connor: It is in your nature to destroy yourselves.

@KM76710 I need to stop as it's messing with my mental health, which isn't robust to begin with. I haven't watched those movies for ages - think I'll start with Terminator 2.

Sounds absolutely beautiful! Looking forward to pictures.

Here is mine right now. Tons of buds on this thing. Seems as though only the purple is growing right now... then i remembered that these all bloom at different times through the summer.

The bush is right outside of my bedroom window... so i get to enjoy them more.

 

[seabird]

Gorgeous clematis flowers @AmberMarie I know it's not unique to me lol I love looking at them really close up, so it's great that they're right outside your window.

 

[seabird]

@AmberMarie I'll try for some pics. Though, you'll have to try and overlook all the stuff I've put in there to dissuade cat-pooping.

 

[seabird]

New starts getting their roots down, not much outwardly visible growth yet.

 

[seabird]

My plant - at least once it blooms.



Prior to planting.

 

[AmberMarie]

Those are beautiful! Thank you for sharing @seabird

I was right there and instead of letting it grow and be, their words smashed it like an unwanted insect

I read the notice about the name change, and the bit about not going out quietly. I hope this place doesn't cease to exist. I don't and won't be doing anything on bacfook. If SF/UntilSunrise goes, then it'll be a bad day. Sure forums are not prominent like they once were, but I think there are plenty of others besides myself who want and need this kind of interaction.

Likewise, I would miss SF horribly if it did not exist anymore. I don't do Facebook, and won't do it. I hope the forum keeps going. I need it. Many others need it too.

Feel the same as @seabird and @SillyOldBear for what it's worth.

I've reacted to this news of SF changing and possibly ending, by kind of mentally catalogueing all the things in my life which hlep me cope, which help keep my mind off of bad thought loops and moving toward lighter and health. I've also made some contacts in real life here in the US. There's a tentative plan to finish a project I started about 3 years back. This was before my relationship broke and I had to leave my new country. I haven't promised myself to complete it in exactly the same way, but to breathe life back into it and see what comes.
