My favorite hobby is gardening. I'll link some images of my plants here eventually, but for now you get text. I have a small garden in pots out back, that I've been cultivating since 2020 when I first got really interested in plants again.
My favorite native plants:
An explanation of my favorite cactus:
There was an immortal cactus outside my childhood home, I call it the Cursed One. (It's an Eastern Prickly Pear) It survived being upside down in its pot for a year, it survived feet of snow, drought (of course) and flooding. It also had a taste for blood. It's probably alive in the landfill somewhere. But; before I went to college I propagated a cactus pad myself, and it's been going strong. I managed to forget it in my dorm when lockdown for COVID hit, and it was still alive months later when I went to retrieve my things. I eventually repotted it, and it's produced weird fruit for the first time this year (2024). It also has yellow flowers each year. I call it the Cursed One's Child.
