    Are you a gardener or house plant lover? Why or why not? What do you need to elevate your plant care skills?

    Lenka Karetkova's avatar
    Lenka Karetkova 4/22/2025 7:55 AM
    I don't consider myself either gardener or house plant lover, but I am learning, as I love flowers in the windows, smell of the nature and my own onions, garlic... not always it survives, but I still try. Also we need to teach our kids to love the nature, work with the soil, eat what we plant, so we all need to start from ourselves ;)

    How did it feel to plant something, and what kind of gardening did you do (indoors, hydroponic, outside in a garden, etc)? What did you plant and where? Feel free to share a photo to the feed!

    I planted today an onion! love it as an extra for grilling/barbeque etc...
    as the garden is high above sea level, we never know, if it growth or not, but always hope, we'll see some results! so let's wait few more weeks and see, hope for the best.

      Onions are a staple in Romanian cuisine! 🧅 Honestly, there’s almost no dish without them. 😄 Plus, they help keep pests away in the garden, practical and delicious! Fingers crossed for a strong sprout! 🌱
