I'm A Lazy Ass Bitch And I Was Wondering If You Have Any Recommendations For Easy Plants For A Garden?

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.

I would definitely investigate the creepy and ominous noise. With the button, though, it depends... Was I given a reason not to press the button? Yes? Then I won't push the button...probably. No? That button was pressed faster than a buttered bullet. This has been a curse of mine since I was a child. It's honestly a wonder that I haven't won a Darwin award yet.

are you a “press the mystery button you’ve been told not to press” person or an “investigate that creepy and ominous noise” person

I'm sanguine. :)

Forget the Myers-Briggs fucking personality assessment. I am dead tired of hearing if someone is an INFP or an ESLQ or whatever. I want to know if someone is melancholic or choleric. Bring back the four humors. I wanna see “Kaley, 16, phlegmatic” when I go to someone’s blog. Who is with me. Lets make this happen

I used to (and still do sometimes) think like this. So I started taking the initiative to say /anything/ and if the conversation continues, I take it as they were thinking the same thing and I broke them out of their shell. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm an introvert, so I don't always have the energy to do this... But since I've started it, I've met a lot of interesting people and heard a lot of interesting stories. Not to mention the old friends I've stated talking to again. It's been great and it's a real confidence boost. The more I do it, the easier it gets. :) Try it sometime ~

i always think “if people want to talk to me they will” which is my reasoning for never really starting conversations so i’m permanently thinking no one wants to talk but what if they’re sat there thinking the same and it’s just this cycle of silence that never gets broken because i’m too stubborn to just put myself out there
