on my not-green thumb


Do you like to garden? I've never been very good at it. I keep waiting for the urge to take hold in me, but it hasn't happened yet. And so really, I have no idea what I am doing, and I don't care to learn at the moment. It is purely luck then, that the pots on my front porch are still alive. This is the longest they have lasted, and I am so happy about it. It's the watering- I can never figure it out. And with summer on it's way (this weekend, probably!) things aren't going to last much longer. Goodbye curb appeal! See you next winter.

  1. Yes, I LOVE to garden - yard work of all kinds, that's what I do all spring, summer and fall. If I'm not at my office, I'm outside all day from morning until night. My Mom has always said that I can grow dirt. I guess I inherit it from my grandparents who were all gardeners and my parents, who have a beautiful yard (they are 88 and 84 by the way and still do all of their own gardening). We have hot summers here as well, hot and humid, but not like there of course and I do water every other day during the summer months - it takes a lot of my time, but I have time on my hands. :)
