Do You Have A Plant That Doesn’t Bring You Joy?

Do you have a plant that DOESN’T bring you joy?

I do. There is one particular that has been bothering me for a while and I finally did something about it as I explain in the video below:

While there may be some sadness when removing a healthy plant, I confess that I didn’t feel that this time. The frustration that I feel each year with its under-performance in my garden that I was ready for it to go.

Removing a healthy plant

Although it doesn’t show in this photo, there was a healthy root system on this tiny orange tree.

I sat and watched them plant my new tree. They did a great job!

A brand new tree with great potential!

I will keep you updated as to how it does. It will be hard to wait for two years for new fruit, but it will be worth it!

What plants do you have that no longer bring you joy?
