Dunno if anyone remembers me at all. It's been a while since I last typed up any journals here. So I suppose it's only suiting that I have decided to start a fresh new series of journals. The idea started a bit like this: I have a fascination with plants. I love gardening, identification, foraging, and overall use like cooking, potpourri, medicinal, etc.
The Everything Plants Series will include all of the aforementioned topics and more. I wanted to post all this conglomeration of info to have an organized place for it all, but it's also here for anyone who likes plants too (yay!) or anyone who's interested in learning more about them.
Enjoy. :D
