It's springtime and moving beyond last frost dates in the northern parts of the U.S. Garden centers are humming, bees are buzzing. Birds are nesting in my hanging planters.

I planted out 25 tomato seedlings last weekend - what are you growing?

I only have one outdoor plant, a basket of petunias I got as a belated housewarming gift - it's blooming such a pretty color! The rest of what I'm growing is various house plants. My favorite is a peperomia that I propagated from a leaf last summer, and it just grew its first tiny little flower spikes!

I love the weird little nosehair-like inflorescences that Peperomia get! Their weird flowers is why I bought my first plant, which snowballed into plants taking over our house and yard.

That certainly seems to be how it goes 😂
