@mousy: Thank you so much for all of that insight! Yes, I have to admit the negative Nancies tend to be teachers who have been teaching for quite a while. They really make the stakes seem high but I'm glad to hear that the reality isn't as bad as they portray it. Hearing that you have experienced the same from older teachers where you are from helps me put things into perspective. I suppose some are just stuck in their ways. I will listen to what they have to say but from now on I will take them a little less seriously. (*Phew!*) Thank you for that reassurance!
@sunny: Basil is so wonderful to grow! I always get happy when I hear that someone is growing basil. My mom got me into the habit of starting a couple pots of it every spring and they stay bushy all throughout the summer. It's amazing lol! They never last past August for me though. They just get all lanky and put out tons of seeds so I just harvest the seeds for next year. :) You should definitely grow it again. I know I will be! <3 By the way, I'm curious.. how is your aloe doing? I have an aloe that I brought inside to keep in my sunniest window. I didn't think it would do well indoors but so far it's still alive! (fingers crossed)
@saeyra: I guess some people just go out of their way to be mean or superior. So far literally everyone here has had tons of positive things to say though so that is very uplifting ^_^
@q t e a p o n: Thank you! I'm happy to be here! :D Ah, a fellow plant lover ^^ Hm, let's see. Inside I have a variegated pothos, a regular pothos, cornstalk palm (?), short-leaved aloe, a couple of arrowhead leaf plants, a small ivy (i think it is?), a spider plant, a small peace lily, and a Sansevieria. Outside I have a short barrel cactus, some kind of round cactus with lots of babies, a tall fuzzy cactus, two grafted cacti (the kind with the red ball on top), 2 or 3 pothos that I moved outside, a red impatiens, and god knows what else. My mom has a lot of plants too but I'm not going to bother listing hers. Until recently I also had petunias, a massive wall of morning glories, a huge fern, zinnias, cosmos, lots of mint, rosemary, chives, and garlic chives but I moved back in with my mother so a lot of things are gone now. My apartment patio was packed lol. I even pruned, watered, and fertilized the neglected jasmine bushes that grew on the side of my apartment building. I am v. enthusiastic lol.
Oh, and thanks for the resource links! I'll be sure to check them out ^^
