Lucky?

Luck must be around me in some form because a couple of cool things have happened! First off my garden is really taking off and I am so excited, it’s my first real garden since I lived with my parents (which has been a while!) and we were gifted a bunch of extra plants so I had to make a second garden space just for the new plants!

Homemade raised garden bed fully planted with peppers, cucumbers, carrots, cauliflower, radishes, broccoli, corn and beets.
My garden bed (don’t mind the crazy morning glory over growth…I have to see it out constantly)
Toddler running under sprinkler water new garden space with squash, tomatoes and raspberries.
The L shaped dirt space is where I had to start my second garden spot (squash along the wood fence, tomatoes in front of them, and raspberry bushes along the wire fence) ((raspberries were there first))

Now don’t go criticizing my placement of plants, I am not expert and I wasn’t expecting more plants so I had to improvise!

But I’m the garden box I made, I had noticed a small squash plant growing voluntarily! I have identified it ( I think) as a pumpkin plant! I need to transplant him of course because he’s in a bad spot.

Mystery squash (possibly pumpkin)

Second lucky thing.

Have you ever seen a snake plant flower?? Well apparently it is pretty rare! In fact my granny, who has at least 5 pots of snake plants that are massive (over 3 feet tall) has never seen it, and no one I’ve talked to even knows that they can flower. This is my first snake plant, so to be able to see such an incredible and rare occurrence brings me joy!

It’s possible I may never see it again, but I really hope I can keep this plant happy enough to keep flowering, I will give y’all and updated picture when the flowers start blooming, and I’ll keep you informed as to how my garden gets along, including our voluntary mystery squash!!

Have a wonderful rest of your weekend friend!

    1. Haha I’m not actually sure why they are called that to be honest! They just look like really big broad blades of grass but really stiff! They are low maintenance (only needs watered about once or twice a month! Some are lighter green and yellow, mine is dark green with darker striped pattern. They are really neat, great air purifier plants!
