Strawberries still coming on strong!!!!
Both my Monstera Albo and my Blue Java Nanner tree have exceeded expectations in a huge way.
This is the first year of 10 since buying my house, that I have a garden! I am most proud of 30” tall Red Flame - the only Sunflower that thrived, out of 6 seeds planted 👏🏾 🙌🏾. Proudest accomplishment: installing drain in her flower bed that flows under the border and into river rock-lined stream (trench 😊) that I dug and decorated. Next up: raise topsoil and add mulch (both, in back of my car ☺️), to sustain Red Flame and Dahlia Zinnia friends in their lovingly created space. 🌱🌻❤️ #GregGang #Greggers #greggivesback #giveaway #gardening #SunflowerJourney #NewPlantMom #PlantLove #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantTherapy #OutdoorGrowing
@WormWarriorFarm woah that banana tree 🤩
Beautiful succulent baby garden growing right now!
@Rezmeck THESE are the buggers! Grumble grumble 😂 check your pumpkins when their leaves are out
@Boymom-plantmom Hi Jennifer and everyone! I’ll comment, but I don’t need to be entered into this months drawing. I will leave my entry for someone else!

I didn’t have a garden this year. We needed to let our beds rest for a season. I’m sad about it but also, what can you do? 🤷‍♀️ I was all into planning a garden in pots only this year, but just kind of fizzled out 😮‍💨

I am very proud, however, of my Boston Ivy. I planted him a couple years ago, he was TINY! Just a couple vines, and now he’s filling out a section of fence. My intention was to get our ugly chain link fence eventually covered with green, and Boston Ivy is not invasive here, like English Ivy is. But the problem with Boston Ivy is that it’s deciduous…we get beautiful fall colors with this vine, but then he looses all his leaves for the winter. 🤪 🫠 So, this year I got my husband an evergreen clematis, which will fill out the fence AND keep their leaves all year round….but we didn’t get it planted in time 😑 and a couple scorcher days might have done him in 😭

Our elderberry however is LOVING life. He’s massive already, and right now he has a LOT of berries!! Usually the small creatures get the berries before me, I’m sure it was because I said, “you know what, this year the birds and the critters can just have the berries.” LOL. So now I have a bunch 😂🤣

Ps here’s my gorgeous dahlia!! And a picture of my neighbor’s bananas for @WormWarriorFarm 😜
@Boymom-plantmom I saw a reel on Facebook where a woman and her daughter planted 5 loofah plants in the front of their house and they completely took their house. 🤣 they had to cut it back just to get in the front door.
@MeekCordmoss78 so cool!
@DreamMachine love everything about this OMG!
I wish I had more photos to share, but all of my cacti have really been blooming this summer. So impressed all the time.
I wish I had a garden but I live in an apartment 😭😭 I’ve gotten a LOT of plants this year but my current faves/most impressive is this Alocasia Nairobi nights because this new leaf is just massive, and then this aglaonema because of just how much pink/red it has 🥰
I do not have a garden but I wish I did! As for my houseplants, my white wizard philodendron. It’s grown so much!
#GregGivesBackGiveaway @Boymom-plantmom I don’t have a garden and I’m fine with that. with my procrastination gene my garden would look like your corn in no time! What I do have are two plants that I am very impressed by. There’s the African Milk Tree, it’s growth has exploded and now it’s branching out! The other plant which continues to amaze me is the Cornstalk plant. I know it’s over due for a repot but here we go again damn procrastination. Here’s hoping that all your plants continue to thrive and amaze you!

@SmoothHope66 I can tell by your wall that you are absolutely my kinda person 🖤🖤😂😂😂
Proudest accomplishments currently: my mom gave me 2 muck buckets that were worn and cracked and she could no longer use and I planted 6 okra seeds. Not sure if I planted them in time to get a decent harvest, but hey, it's experience, right? Cement planter is filled with mini orange sweet peppers that I planted from seed. And throwing in a picture of the barrel planter that I also got from Mom full of Purple Queen, Oxalis, and Sweet Potato Vine just for fun.
@Ms.Persnickety omg wow goals! Mine has grown so much but this is inspiring ❤️
You’re depressing, it ain’t September 
My family has a ton of food plants <3 we've harvested a lot of yummer blackberries this year and I put them in my bagels x] delicious. The squash bugs got to our plants too, but only after we got quite a few harvests of fruit from them.
My garden is less then stellar at the moment but it’s my houseplants that I’m really proud of ! I have a begonia tissue culture that shocked me when it died back and came back full force!
#GregGivesBackGiveaway The plant the has exceeded my expectations has been my begonias! I planted several out in the empty flower bed that had nothing in it! The begonias have taken it completely over! I am amazed at the growth! I’ve never seen anything like it! I have the attached pic from a couple weeks ago, but tomorrow I will take and add the latest look they have been flaunting! AMAZING! The Pharohs Masks and camo elephant ears have grown larger than they ever have too! It’s been an incredible growing season! Good Luck everyone!🌺🌸🪴🎍🌿🌱🌳🌵🍄
