Calling FOH Green Thumbs

[El Presidente]

 

I only really mentally relax when I am on the water fishing or in the garden tinkering with my plants. I wouldn't consider myself a "green thumb", but I am no dudder either. I do have a masochist metality to plants in that I continually try to grow stuff that has previously defeated me time after time. I believe that is the definition of insanity .....I will wear it. 

So, this will be an ongoing thread is for the FOH Green Thumbs.

Post your photos, your questions, your successes, your failures.

so will you be posting photos of those plants of Di's that you killed? 

[Ken Gargett]

i will post this. very proud.

i am also proud of these (well, more proud of my green thumb than ability to post photos. that said, when i went away, i thought the thing was dead. came back to the flowers. a green thumb even when not home.

Gardening day today. Love my philodendron. 

Backdrop to my man cave.

I’d actually love to see more on the man cave set up. Have always wondered how you have that raised level of plants in the background. Also, is the man cave a four season room? Or is it semi-outdoor?

[El Presidente]

Simple set up.

Backdrop use to be a custom built 6000 litre fish tank that we converted initially to a terrarium and now an open raised garden.

 

Side shot, BBQ, exhaust, remote control drop blinds and shutters. 

Front: TV, air-conditioning.

 

All season. Can be open or closed. Ceiling has three exhaust fans to clear smoke if closed (winter nights).

Presidente, I must say, that is quite an excellent man cave.

[chasy]

That’s sweet man. Would love something like that one day!

so you killed the fish. you killed the lizards and now you have some of the most terrified plants on the planet.

Nice man cave prez. Tennessee has the Aussie punter. Good night for the Vols with the post game cigar tradition.

I live on a plant nursery in Hawaii. Some photos from our property. That big lawn area is my nightly smoking spot. Ironically, I don't have that great a green thumb. That part my pops is in charge of.

Stunning

My Monkey tail cacti in bloom. Gorgeous.

Over here we call those fuzzy cocks. Beautiful nonetheless.

My Christmas cactus is getting like me, a couple of weeks late.

I'll shoot my shot here lol (I miss summer/springtime rn). I made some basic flower gardens (elaborate one in backyard not pictured here). My dad was old school Italian gardener, lots of tomatoes & tons of other veggies...fig trees etc, etc.

Maybe one day I'll get there. 

P.s. nice man cave Prez 🔥

Lime tree in my office has seen better days. It had 4-5 limes on it that were fantastic and now it looks like this 😒

White bat plant flower is almost fully open.

Not an easy plant to grow. My highlight horticultural achievement 😅

Just planted yesterday. Tomatoes, green peppers, cucumbers, parsley, Thai basil, and oregano.
