Plant Projects

Here I am documenting and noting down (some of) my outdoor projects!
Growing plants from seeds and trying out a variety of things. Pretty much anything outside of your typical houseplants.

Report July 2025: Great weather, lots of nice and strong growth. Major caterpillar issues this year, spider mites here and there, especially on fruit plants. No thripse so far

Crotalaria cunninghamii

William is my second try. All 6 seeds I got grew! (but one died in an early state).

William didn't survive. Winter temps? probably, probably not. It's a short-lived plant after all. But I am proud for keeping him alive 7 months. Took this picture on his last 'alive' day, now he has left us & hangs down dead...
