It's nice to get information about flowers from friends. Yesterday, after running some errands, I stopped by a flower farm that a neighbor told me about. Inside the greenhouse, there were rows of potted flower seedlings, pansies, violas, stocks, etc. that were available in the store, and I brought a few 🤏🏻 home with me. I wonder where I should plant them. 🐰💗

Yes, after the memorial service on November 2nd, I was told by a neighbor that I bought some flowers directly from the farm on the way home, "Pansies, Blooming Violets." I planted them in the flower bed in my garden yesterday and posted about them just now. It started raining midway through, but I'm glad I managed to plant them. 🐰💗
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ It sounds nice! You love gardening. enjoyable We are together on GS. Talk stories about flowers and plants. Interesting Good day together with our smiles 😊😊
That's right. I garden in my own way, thinking about "where to plant what" and imagining "what kind of flowers would be good in this season" and those times are mindless and fun. It's similar to the excitement I get when watching GS, and I like it. I hope you have another fun day today. 🐰💗
