My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Hello! I'm new here

4 years ago

I've been growing violets from big box stores for years. Most often I'll rescue clearance ones - sometimes they grow, sometimes they don't, but at least I gave them a chance 😁
I was lazy about taking suckers off, but recently successfully divided a triple crown into 3 plants. Two are in bloom - one looks like the original always did, the other has more color to the blossoms 🤔
Also, after many years of playing, I have two new healthy babies grown from leaves 🎉
I also learned this past year about sunburn 😱 (AV plants, not me - sunburn is a given for my skin 🤣)
I'm starting to think about diving into the named varieties, maybe the minis.
