Imagine the surprise for the tenant below when I watered them. Needless to say, they did not last but one year.Sylviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14621442188580791899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34398479.post-87382765477061876852007-06-20T14:37:00.000-04:002007-06-20T14:37:00.000-04:00you make me laugh! :)two things:1. On my blog - y...you make me laugh! :)<BR/><BR/>two things:<BR/><BR/>1. On my blog - you made me laugh out loud 'cause YES I'm hard on myself - and your descriptionh of your daughter sounds exactly like me. We must be twins separated at birth.<BR/><BR/>2. On your blog - you can too have a garden!! If I can do it - trust me - ANYBODY can do it.<BR/>I have no green thumb. I've never had a garden before. My first is this one. So far nothing has died.<BR/>All you gotta do is, till up some ground, just a little bit for a couple or three plants (I suggest start small). Get your son or one of the other big children to do it for ya..it's quite a little strenous job, but do-able.<BR/>Then go to WalMart or Lowes or Home Depot or the local garden city or coop and buy some veggies and/or herbs... put 'em in the ground. Water them. Or before that, put some garden soil (bagged) on top of what you tilled. Water, fertilize (bagged) ... look up simple simple stuff on the internet. You'll be amazed. Really. I am.<BR/>It's quite hot out there tho, take many mini breaks - I did. <BR/>And GET SOME GARDEN GLOVES! I made the mistake of not knowing to do that and I've torn up my hands with blisters.<BR/><BR/>Ok - I'm gonna check back and see how you're doing :)Shelbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02757079675613448834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34398479.post-30030924133812355522007-06-19T21:47:00.000-04:002007-06-19T21:47:00.000-04:00I don't have much of a 'green thumb' myself but no...I don't have much of a 'green thumb' myself but normally I have some very lovely flower boxes and other assorted potted flower boxes on my front porch but this year I've got nothing except one plant that a friend gave me. <BR/><BR/>I miss my flowers but I just haven't had the energy or the money to do them this year. I feel that's horribly pathetic but now that it's almost the end of June already, I rather doubt I'm going to get them in at all. <BR/><BR/>I really need to find me some more energy somewhere!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05698969349369789642noreply@blogger.com
