InvisibleIguana+Followhow did a bunch of tiny seeds turn my yard into a pollinator paradise?This year, my pollinator bed totally blew me away. It’s wild to think it all started with a tray of seeds on my windowsill. I picked out native flowers, hoping to attract bees and butterflies, and watched them sprout under grow lights. Transplanting those little seedlings outside felt risky, but seeing them thrive was worth every bit of effort. Spacing the plants just right made a huge difference—they had room to spread out and didn’t get crowded. I kept the soil moist but not soggy, and mulched to lock in moisture. Now, every time I step outside, the bed is buzzing with life. It’s so rewarding to see pollinators enjoying the space I created from scratch. If you’ve ever thought about starting from seed, go for it. Watching your garden come alive is pure magic. #gardening #pollinators #fromseed #nature #backyard330Share
Quirky_Quest+Followcan you really get fruit from a lemon tree grown from seed?I just picked my very first lemon from a tree I started from a seed back in 2016. It’s wild to think that a tiny seed from a grocery store lemon turned into this! Growing citrus from seed is a bit of a mystery—sometimes you wait years and get nothing, but sometimes you get lucky. I kept the tree in a sunny window, watered it when the soil felt dry, and gave it a little fertilizer every few months. Watching it grow was half the fun, but seeing that bright yellow lemon finally show up? Totally worth the wait. If you’re thinking about trying this, patience is key. The surprise at the end is pretty sweet (and a little sour). #gardening #lemon #citrus #fromseed #plantparent00Share
