Let me tell you something crazy. My mom currently has around a thousand plants which she somehow keeps alive and happy. Each day she checks the weather and they get specific care which includes, but is not limited to, keeping them from getting sunburned (plants get sunburned?!), keeping them pruned, starting new plants from cuttings, keeping them healthy with nutrient-rich lake water and or fertilizer, and moving them indoors or outdoors depending on the weather. The truck bed is currently filled with flats of plants that our house will not accommodate and is pulled out of the garage when it is not too hot, cold, or windy for the plants to handle. Although mom’s plants are a passion project for her, she eagerly awaits warm enough weather to move the small army of plants into their permanent outdoor homes.
