@houseplanthour I agree and that is my problem. Unfortunately my houseplants are not my full-time job :) #houseplanthour

@houseplanthour @AndieHill105 What are you using? I have never used pesticides but several of my plants will die from various pests (mealy bugs, shield bugs and thrips) if I don't get them under control #houseplanthour

I love my small wildflower meadow at the front of the house. This year there is a lot of ragwort which is starting to be decimated by pretty cinnabar moth caterpillars #GardensHour

This year the plants that work best in the garden are the ones I didn't do anything with. Like this yucca in flower #GardensHour

@GardensHour I had forgotten about the colour theme today so just ran out to snap a few pics before it gets to dark. Everlasting pea, erigeron and a rose in the last light #GardensHour
