I was supposed to go on a walk but just sat on rock for like an hour

You know how some people are just amazing artists and their paintings, drawings, even sketches are super lifelike?

My camera is the exact opposite

I refuse to believe these pictures are real. Unedited. Taken 10 minutes ago outside.

I'm a lazy ass bitch and I was wondering if you have any recommendations for easy plants for a garden?

YOU. YOU GET ME.

All of my gardening is done with being a lazy bitch in mind. If it needs constant tending, babying, coddling, whatever, anything more than me weeding it now and then (and even then, it’s better if I can just. Not.) then fuck that whole noise.

I don’t use annuals I can’t plant via winter sowing in milk jugs, or via just straight up throwing seeds at the dirt and walking away. Because why the hell would I spend all that time and money every year planting the whole damn thing again?

Perennials come back every year and only get bigger, instead of dying off every winter. Iris are wonderfully hardy and easy-care, meaning can be largely ignored. Will need to be lifted, divided, and replanted ever…I dunno…five or six years, but then so will most perennials.

Echinacia. That’s a native tallgrass prairie plant. It could survive anything up to and possibly including nuclear war. Bees and butterflies love it, and it’s beautiful.

Hollyhock. Beautiful, and can be planted by throwing seeds at the dirt once. Will reseed itself until the end of days.

Peonies. Lovely and will outlive you. Basically indestructible.

Low growing varieties of yarrow make great groundcovers. The trick to not having to weed often is to cover ALL of the dirt, so that your plants shade out weeds.

Roses. Old fashioned own root varieties. Will outlive you and possibly your grandchildren.

Violets. Native, a lovely groundcover, edible, and beautiful.

Lilies. Smell fantastic, gorgeous, and indestructible.

Penstemon. Another tallgrass prairie plant. Gorgeous, and nearly impossible to kill.
