RusticRoamer+Followwhy did i turn my avocado seeds into tiny floating islands?So, I got tired of my avocado seeds drying out because I always forgot to top up their water. Instead of giving up, I grabbed some leftover pool floaties (the tiny ones for drinks!) and popped my seeds on them. Now they just chill on the water, no babysitting needed. Watching them bob around is actually super satisfying. Plus, I don’t have to stress about them drying out or rotting from too much water. It’s like a mini vacation for my seeds and for me. If you’re as forgetful as I am, try giving your seeds a little float. It’s weirdly fun and totally works. #gardeninghacks #avocadoseeds #plantparent #diygarden #Gardening20Share
evanshaley+FollowPink Strawberry Flowers = More Berries?!Did you know the color of your strawberry plant’s flowers can totally change your harvest?

Double-check before you plant if you want those sweet homegrown snacks! #GardeningHacks #StrawberrySeason #GardenTips #Homegrown #PlantParent #Home20Share
Arthur Booker+FollowWhy Sheep Wool Is Tomato MagicEver tried growing tomatoes and ended up with sad, shriveled fruit? Here’s a quirky hack: mix sheep wool into your soil!

Susan Ball+FollowLavender’s Secret: Sand & Gravel MagicDid you know your lavender could bloom way better with just a sprinkle of sand or gravel? Turns out, too much fertilizer makes them leafy, not flowery! Pro gardeners swear by adding builder’s sand or pea gravel to the soil—less nutrients, more blooms, and way better drainage. Just don’t use fine sand (it clogs things up). Spread a thin layer around the base, keep it off the stems, and watch your lavender thrive.
