The Beginnings

During this age of sheltering at home, covid-19, and social distancing, gardening has risen in prestige as a pastime along with other new favorites such as baking and cooking. While I decided to start this blog now about my plants, I've been growing plants since I was young. My dad introduced me to plants when I was a kid mostly growing cacti and succulents. That love of plants has stuck with me all the way to adulthood. I unfortunately live in an urban area with little in the way of space for a full-fledged garden but I made the most of using my dining table, balcony, and any other spot that a plant can be squeezed into in my apartment. My wife likes to jokingly say she's going to throw all my plants away. Honestly there are a lot of plants in our relatively small apartment. Now for this blog I chose the title of The Capsule Garden. I wanted a title such as The Container Garden but that wasn't available. After viewing the thesaurus entry for container along with considering what was available on Blogger, I settled on The Capsule Garden. Essentially a pot is like a capsule for a plant? Perhaps not used in everyday vernacular but it'll have to work in this case. I don't have any ground to place my plants in so they are all growing in some sort of receptacle or, as in the case of this blog, a capsule. That's it for my little introduction. I really wanted a place for myself where I could track the growth and progress of my plants through images without having to constantly flip through my phone gallery among all the other random photos on my phone.
