The Plant Collector
I love plants! I grew up planting all kinds of plants as a child so, thankfully, I have a tiny bit of knowledge of how this works.
These days are full of bad and sad news, it's nice to step out into a garden and find some peace and quiet away from all of the day's worries. I really do enjoy watching plants grow.. its literally miraculous. Its also a great distraction from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Nature is the best therapy.
I thought that I'd start up a channel documenting all of the different plants I collect as the time goes by. I hope that my 'journals' on the ups and downs of my attempts at growing these plants can serve as a 'guide' to some of you out there who are just like me. Someone who loves growing plants and watching them grow but yet, not really sure if they know what they're doing. In time, experience will give us the wisdom we need to be able to grow plants effectively... IMAGINE HOW MUCH KNOWLEDGE OF THESE PLANTS WE WILL GAIN IN THE YEARS TO COME!
