32, 64, 82 for the plant questions!

32. Do you spend lots of money on plants? 

I have definitely spent a lot in the past. Probably about 2 years ago(?) I spent $80 on seeds. Surprise surprise not much of any of it germinated, severe regret ensued. I generally spend more if it is a plant sale or something quite rare (though I do have a price threshold). Icr my spending averages from my highschool days where I was much more spendy with my plant obsessions.

Nowadays I’m trying to spend on plants/seeds that I can enjoy while at the same time being stock plants to propagate to sell. It’s tricky since so many good varieties are patented nowadays (which I try to avoid like the plague with mixed results). Most of my money now goes for equipment (tools, soil, etc.) rather than actual plants.

64. Favourite roots?

Aesthetically? Taproots and Buttress roots, they’re the most dramatic imo. For practicality I’d say tubers (which technically are not roots but SHHH) like Hemerocallis tubers; easy to recognize in the garden and generally easy to transplant.

82. Do you give your plants names?

Not really no. I have referred to some plants by shortform pet names but not truly a name. Closest would be my transplanted Balloon flower which I keep referring to as KENNY!!! cause I thought it had died.
