I’m a black man that LOVES to garden. I’m studying plants in school for crying out loud. Y'all should see the shit I can grow.
My specialty is fruit trees. I currently have:
3 peach, 1 apricot, 1 plum, 10 apple trees, 2 lemon trees. And I’m germinating clementine seeds right now and I’ll be cross pollinating with the Lemon trees pretty soon
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 GOOD FOR YOU BABY… IM HERE FOR THE GROWTH OF YOU FRUIT TREES.. ESPECIALLY PEACH CUZ ITS MY FAVORITE FRUIT ND COLOR 😁
Heres a few of my trees:
Peach tree, 15 years old (my very first plant)
My baby peach tree named after @pooppride , she is 6 months old and only 3 feet (I neglected to put her in the ground so she became dormant…but she’ll grow again)
My lemon tree named Courtni!!! Mind you, I live in Baltimore and its cold but I proved a lot of people wrong about growing citrus and my tree is proof that I did it
My pineapple :3 theyre really interesting to watch grow. They grow like cactus so it’s a super slow process.
Excuse me, look at my brother’s plants.
I’m inspired. I ain’t got no green thumb but I wanna try again 😩
Nonsense! My grandma would always tell me black people have natural gifts for plants cause most of the plants in the US were brought here by slavery (especially watermelon so thats why we get that stereotype). If you ever need tips just ask!
Btw i found a few more pics of my stuff I grew (most I gave away):
My lovely lovely little apple tree. Shes a little baby but I believe in her! The cool thing about apples are that if you get a seed form the fruit and grow it, theres a HUGE chance that it wont be the same kind. i.e. if you have Granny Smith seeds they could become Gala or Pink Lady!
Another pic of another peach tree I have to give away (IF ANYONE YOU SEEING THIS IS IN BALTIMORE, HMU IF YOU WANT THIS TREE!)
Here’s a comparison of how peach trees look when theyre REALLY fresh from their seed. Them so cute smol
And finally (i talk a lot im sorry :/) a watermelon I picked off with me in it, tho it wasn’t even ready Lol
I hope you can garden with me sometime 🌸🌺🌻💐🌷🌹🍏🍎🍐🍊🍋🍈🍓🍇🍉🍌🍒🍑🍍🍅🍆🌽🌶
I wish I could grow fruit
Your plants are beautiful!
Thank you :). I forgot to mention I have a mango tree, too. Her name is Lauren and Ive been neglecting her :/ SO I SHALL CONTINUE TO GROW HER
Im gonna get some more mango seeds today and show yall how to grow stuff like citrus and tropical fruit and other fruits n veggies
This is so beautiful and pure. Ohmygod.
This man out here repopulating the garden of Eden and I can’t even keep my cilantro plant alive 😭😭😭. Bless up sir.
Don’t be discouraged! It took me bout 20 peach seeds to get my smallest tree to grow 😁. Gardening with me is literally trial and error.
Black boys and plants, ftw!
This post is so lovely and wholesome I’ve been making pterodactyl noises for a solid minute.
