I planted some stuff today. I’m a 50/50 gardener. I start out with grand plans and then at some point just forget to water and eventually I am left with a stick (I can’t keep orchids alive) or a brown plant in a pretty planter. Lowes had some plants on sale so I picked up a few. I love buying all types of flowers and ignoring the directions which causes Ben to frown and give me an “I told you so” look when they die. This time I reigned in my desire to purchase plants that needed full sun. We get shade, a lot of shade…so I bought some ferns, some Scottish moss and coleus plants and put them in planters on the front porch. I also bought a violet for fifty cents, a banana pepper plant and bee balm (which does like sun and I will find it some even if I have to cut down the neighbor’s almost dead tree). I bought two inside houseplants also.
I hope you are successful this time around 🙂
I can’t keep anything alive either..funny since we are from a family of gardeners!
I know…it should be in our genetic makeup!
