A Green Thumb in My Future?

Sometimes I really wish I knew what I was doing when it comes to plants and gardening. And I wish I had the patience to learn. ;) But the truth is I don’t know much at all, which is probably an embarrassing fact to my Mom, grandmother, and sister, who just so happen to be gardening princesses.

I love to have pretty flowers and plants though, and ones that I can manage easily. Like water them, and be done. :)

And I’m happy to say I’ve had what I’m about to show you around 1 1/2 months now, and they are doing GREAT!

We have 2 of these up by our front door in planters.

And they have grown SO much since I first got them! If any of you know what this is, let me know in the comments because I threw away the card. #rookiemistake

I do know they are shade plants, and our front door area doesn’t get much sun at all, so they have been doing well!

Then on the back patio, I have hanging baskets of Double Purslane and Bougainvilleas and I just LOVE them!!

There are different types of Purslane, and these are a double. I love how it’s a round and full flower!

From a distance they look like pretty little fuzzy flowers. :)

Then I have 2 of these pink Bougainvilleas…

I just love them! If you have tips on if I’m supposed to trim them then let me know. Because…rookie here!

All of those hanging baskets get full sun in the afternoon. :)

This beautiful fern is doing excellent too!

That one stays in the shade. :)

On the patio table I have a small planter of succulents. I LOVE succulents!

So that’s it guys! What do you think? Do I have potential to maybe have a green thumb after all? :) We did have a veggie garden several years back and that did amazingly well!

xxoo,

Emily

🔑 The secret to growth isn’t what you think i 🔑 The secret to growth isn’t what you think it is.

It’s not about hustling harder or chasing validation.

It’s not about overnight success or quick wins.

Real growth happens when you stay consistent, stay aligned with your purpose, and trust that the right things will fall into place.

✨ “What you do every day matters more than what you do once in a while.” – Gretchen Rubin

So, what’s the secret to real growth?

It’s showing up for yourself with purpose, trusting the process, and focusing on what truly matters.💕

💬 Let’s focus on growth that lasts. What’s one way you’re embracing growth this season? Share it below. 💛

Today’s workout included killing my hubby on the court. Mama still got it!🎾🎾🎾
