    I could relate to this, I haven't started cooking since recently. Parents sure are territorial with the kitchen... Even helping out with cutting veggies gets comments like you're slower so let me do the cutting instead hahhaa

    I don't recommend fruit trees, not all of them grow seed to tree. Unless you get lucky, the fruit may taste nasty

    I choose-
    I don't particularly care about them.
    I choose this option because while I do have a great green thumb. I don’t have passion to garden.
    But if I had to choose on what I would grow.

    I grow cacti, some old and inherited adeniums from my childhood that somehow still managed to live and thrive, aand there's some aglaonemas. I also have some Chyrtostachys renda, a plant that i inherited from my great-great-greaaaat-greaaat-greaat grandma.
    I'm thinking to get a mature wisteria bonsai since wisteria is just sooo pretty:aww::aww:, but dealing with all the caterpillar and bug infestation is such a chore. Sadly, it's kinda hard to find one in my area :blobsob:.

    I'm not into flowering plants since...well, the bug infestations is just :blob_coughblood:. Used to plant roses, some jasmines, and orchids. But their diseases and bugs are just.....:blobtired::notlikeblob:.

    I'm too much lazy to take care of them.... But once there was a time when I really wanted a garden of mine, thus I planted many vegetables and flowers at the back of my house.... But ..... They died.... Despite the effort I put behind them......
    After that I've vowed to never put any effort to plant anything.......

    ... Why is there no option that talks about flowers?

    Like uhn... Can't say I have ever tried to grow any sort of plant, but if I did, I'd choose one that can give flowers easily, because I like flowers~

    Umm, I just used the general term plant for flowers and non-flowers alike.

    Yahhh they are sooooo pretty when it's blooming season. Especially, when different flowers bloom within the same time frame. You'll get greeted with a myriad of color, fragrance and sizes!

    I feel like they're kinda weak for a plant though, they need quite the delicate care.

    I can always hope there are some that bloom more easily! >.<

    ... Otherwise I might just give up on taking care of plants, because I don't think I can give a delicate care to them... >.>

    starting with one is the easiest way to see if you could take care of flowers. When you get used to the routine, you'll just see yourself building up your collection little by little and notice that it's actually not that hard! Either way, I find keeping a plant or two is really relaxing and there's no harm in trying :cookie:

    if money could be planted, I would grow one.


    On serious note, I would plant anything edible.

    Onions... I’m not actually bad with plants but for some reason, whenever I plant onions, they never get past the spring onion stage. I’ve eaten a lot of “green onions” over the years :blobrofl:
