>>218558628, grandmother is super into plants and family had a orchard/tea farm back in China so I dabbled a bit. But I didn't get into them until the pandemic started and watched a shit ton of youtube videos. Switch hobby over from cosplay/anime to plants, so part of the instagram house plant hype boom but not actually since I'm not on FB. I did join a couple local gardening / house plant fb groups and local botanical garden clubs. They've been really helpful and active.
Highly allergic to mosquito bites so started growing herbs and now I've move on to veggies.
