#FreshLeafFriday #FreshFeaturedFriday

Hey there #GregGang,

I don't want you all to think I had forgotten about our weekly features and well...some exciting news hit my family this week as my wife went into labor 6 weeks early! Everyone is doing well but I admittedly I am gonna be quite busy the next few weeks.

Don't you fret, #FreshFeaturedFriday and #WhatTheSuccWednesday will be back. In the interim, I trust y'all will keep up #WhatTheSuccWednesday and #FreshLeafFriday in my absence. You can be sure that I'm still around and watching! I just have my hands full at the present.

Keep thriving, keep the #NewGrowth coming, and I will be back just as soon as I can!

Be well,

-rjg-

P.S. Drop those pictures in the comments still. It's been a long week and I would obviously love to see all you've got this week.

@RJG congratulations to you and your family!! I know so many people having babies right now, just warms my heart ❀️ Unfortunately, I don’t have a lot for this #FreshLeafFriday but here is the one I am happiest with right now 🌱 my second time getting a new start from Ares and he still gave me a new leaf πŸ€— #NewGrowth
@RJG CONGRATULATIONS πŸŽ‰ So glad wife and baby are doing well! Is it a boy or a girl? How big? We need details Drew!
Congratulations πŸ₯‚ ✨🫢🏻
Congrats to you and your wife! I think it will be more than busy for the next, long while, and in one of the best ways possible! Congratulations again! 🐣
@RJG Congratulations to you and your wife Drew. That must have been scary for both of you so I’m glad to hear all is okay. You are definitely going to have your hands full for sure but soak it up while you can. I’m finding it difficult to believe/accept that my oldest daughter is turning 40 next week. 😱. Im not even sure where the time went. Treasure every moment you have with your family during this bonding time. It’s so special. We will miss you and your humor though! Take care and congrats again Dad!
Congratulations!!! My tiny cup of dirt is growing an orange princess again! My verrucosum, that was nearly destroyed in shipping, put out her first leaf. And the newest member, 69686. She is just a single leaf, but wow that’s a leaf!
Congrats, @RJG!!! So excited for you and your family! πŸ’ž You will be busy and probably forget what the word sleep means, but it'll all be worth it!
@RJG Awe congratulations πŸŽ‰ Look at those little #freshfeetfriday πŸ‘ΆπŸ‘£
@RJG Congrats to the new addition to your family!!! And don’t worry, we understand you’re going to be occupied!
@RefinedSandwort it’s Beautiful Joy!!!
@MomentousBonsai first leaf, how exciting Dawn.
CONGRATULATIONS πŸŽŠπŸŽ‰πŸΎπŸŽˆ I might have missed it and don’t know you but was wondering if you had a boy or girl ? No need to get back any time soon, just very happy for you both πŸ˜„ Kids are the best , you ARE going to be busy , and maybe even forget all about all of this , but that’s ok because nothing is more beautiful than GROWING your FAMILY ❀️ Best of luck to you 😊
@Shells_Garden our oldest is also turning 40, but not until the beginning of December. I wish your daughter the very best for living the best life in her 40s!
Like you, It’s just isn’t possible that we’ve gone through FORTY years in the BLINK of an eye! Unbelievable! But in all cases, wish her the happiest of birthdays please!
Congratulations πŸŽ‰
Omg!!! Congrats!!!!
My daughter was also born 6 weeks early and she was such a tiny peanut!! 4lbs 6oz!! My thumb fit perfectly on the bottom of her little teeny tiny footsie…
So happy for you and your family!! πŸ’—πŸ₯² most precious gift in the world…
My most heartfelt congratulations to you and your wife!! Hope she’s doing well also! 🫢🏻🌱☺️
@freespirited.30 thank you Heidi that is very sweet! I know and I agree.! I still feel like I’m 40 so how is it I have a child 40! She lives in TX and I live in CA but what she doesn’t know is that I secretly planned a birthday brunch for her next Saturday in TX. My youngest daughter, my oldest granddaughter live down the street from me so the 3 of us are flying out to Tx next Friday to surprise Rachel at the birthday brunch. I’m so excited but I feel like a horrible mother because I haven’t called her recently in fear of blowing the surprise. My middle daughter (38) defected to TX last year as well so we’ll all be with together to celebrate this momentous occasion. πŸ€©πŸ’•πŸ˜Š
🎊Congratulations🎊The #alocasiamelo corm I planted a few months ago, has finally sprouted.

Yay @RJG so happy for yall!
Congratulations!
Congratulations πŸ©·πŸ’™
Did I miss a fresh kid Friday? Congratulations to you and your fam β™₯️
@GaryPoopins thanks Christopher!
Congratulations on your tiny bundle of joy! There is absolutely nothing like holding one so tiny in your arms and realizing that this precious life is truly a gift from God. May God bless you and your family with plenty of food and rest during your time of getting familiar with your new schedule in life. Enjoy every moment of it because they do grow way too fast and pretty soon as you have left his memories of when they were tiny, but then they start bringing home their own children for you to love and cuddle and that’s even a bigger joy. Over the years I’ve had many poinsettias, but I’ve never had one that has lived long enough to produce new leaves so here are my babies on my poinsettia οΏΌ
Congratulations Drew! @rjg πŸŽ‰πŸ˜ that's amazing, I hope mum and baby are both doing great! πŸ’š Xx
Congrats on the new baby! Glad all went well!🌹
White Knight Philodendron
@RJG Thats so awesome. I have a son too and my best friends name growing up was Micah, too bad im no some kind of good luck charm.πŸ˜…. Anyhow , I hope you , your wife and Micah enjoy and cherish the rest of your lives together. It may not seem like it any time soon but they grow up so fast and before you know it they’re on their way to starting their own family. So really hold on to all of the good times and even the bad because that is what creates those memories that last a lifetime . 😊
@KnitStar what is that medium you planted it in?
Jenise
Congratulations on your new baby honey. Take pictures and put them on here.
@clairsheart We've made the choice to let him control his social media life and aren't posting pictures online of him. But know he's just the absolute cutest
Not sure you can see well but there are THREE new leaves coming here!! This baby is so happy with a recent repot and fertilizer
Congratulations 🎊
Congratulations πŸŽ‰πŸŽŠ
I have cactus :)
@AngelCowgirl Jeannie, if you don’t mind sharing, what kind of plant is in your second picture?
@HolyLacealoe Sure!: That’s one of my Dragon Scale Alocasias with her first new leaf since I rescued her in a clearance sale. 😊 One cold weekend here in Texas, her other leaves all yellowed. I checked her roots while repotting her in straight perlite. I found 12 corms while removing the soil! πŸ₯³ All are growing currently in glass jars with perlite, a smidge of water in the base and a hole in the lid for oxygen and to prevent mold. And Mama Aglaera Rose (named for a Dragon that never dies πŸ˜„) has just popped out a new leaf, too! So fun! Thanks for asking!
