This is quite a late reply but this lockdown I've been doing a lot more gardening and recently, I've been challenging myself to grow plants from propagation and seed. 

 

1)    How did you feel after you realised you were able to challenge yourself to do something new?

 

I was really excited for the results and was really happy that I found a potential new hobby. I think the fact that I've had success with germinating seeds has also increased my motivation to do more research into plants. 

 

2)    Did you enjoy the new thing you tried? Why or why not? Whether you liked it or not, whether you achieved what you wanted or not- I am proud of everyone for trying it out!

 

I have and am still enjoying gardening so far. It has given me a good reason to go out more, even if I'm restricted to my garden 😅. I really liked the challenge (which, I think is helped by the small success I've had 😁)

This is so lovely @Onion ! What type of seeds are you propagating? 💙

I've germinated some Cootamundra wattle 'purpurea' and am in the process of germinating white and light purple wysteria seeds. I've also tried to propagate some wysteria cuttings although these will take a while to take root.

Oh wow that's amazing @Onion - how are your seedlings going? 
There's a huge mass of light purple wisteria that's taken over a tree outside my house, and I think it's so stunning (though the poor tree underneath probably doesn't like it too much!)

Good luck - can't wait to hear how it goes. 😀

This is a great post @Anzelmo One thing else I wanted to add is that it is Mental Health month and Mental Health Australia has released this awesome calendar for young adults to help guide them in caring for and making their mental health a priority. I am aiming to do some reading today, as well as think about my mental health goals for this month.

 

Here is a link to the calenders!

So sorry for the late reply, Life got really busy 

 

But a mental health calendar sounds amazing, we could all use daily reminders to look after our own wellbeing!
