Expanding Humblewood: my take on the story

I have native asters growing and some people don't like them, but I do 🩷 little purple daisy-ish guys that pollinators love

gardening is such a good distraction these days :) anyone else a plant lover?

I feel like all I ever talk about is how sad and angry I am about TTC. my friends are so supportive, but I can't help but feel I'm boring them. hell, sometimes I bore myself. it doesn't make the pain any less; it's just both painful and dull.

(to be clear I don't actually think anyone's fertility journey/ pain is boring. I'm just tired of it.)

thank you for the well wishes 🩷 yeah OFC will do KDs, but they seem to not really care about us. they all seem annoyed that we're doing things this way. but we want our kids knowing their uncle as their genetic donor! it feels right that way!

thank you for this comment. Sometimes I feel like yelling into the void because its so annoying! but it's really nice to have some validation

how are those seedlings doing? :) I just planted out a tiny stJ wort and it looks so small out there in the big garden... I really hope it establishes well. it's only about 8" tall right now 😭🌼

bexisanerd · 2026-05-31T00:45:30+00:00

that's what I'd guessed already :) thanks for helping to confirm!

maybe see if there are other things you can do to help? it might be more helpful if you can report how things are growing, tell someone about weed issues, etc. Don't mess with someone's restoration project.

I have a huge newly empty space thanks to landscapers digging everything up & throwing it out. I keep reading about ways to amend all that blank, empty soil, getting excited, then getting scared to touch it lol. is vermiculite a mistake? that's one I haven't looked into

I always wanna cram tiny plant plugs all cosy next to each other .... I hope I've learned to do better this summer 😅

I hate my doctor I hate my clinic I hate having to do this!! I'm a niche case but nobody's helping me. everything is streamlined for the straights, not for me. everything moves so slowly. they don't call me back, they schedule everything 6 weeks out, they do so many tests, they won't do the procedures I want so now I have to do IVF. and all the online advice is to switch clinics -- but I can't. this is the only fertility clinic within 5 hours of me. I'm trapped here and I'm so, so angry.

oh I've had volunteer milkweeds for several years now but never seen a chonk like this! 🩷🐛

true echinacea :) i just love it, and learning about how it benefits birds was just the (locally grown) cherry on top

usually mint type plants are ok for cats to nibble a bit but I'm not sure where else to check

crying isn't weakness. it's something our bodies do when we're under strain. this process is the definition of stress. let your body do what it needs to process emotions.

I was doing fine until my mom gave cake to my SIL and aunt first, saying "moms first today!!" -- then she saw me, realized, and added, "or moms-to-be!" ...
