Green Thumb

021

A green thumb is something I definitely don’t have.  But I’m working on it.  Suddenly I have become obsessed with growing things and shopping (just browsing) in the garden center of all the major retailers.

So far I have two azalea plants going, two flower rockets (fingers crossed), an herb garden (from seeds), two basil plants, a rosemary plant, a cilantro plant, a hyacinth (actually, RIP today as it died despite my constant attention), and Jodi’s two plants (that will withstand a remarkable amount of neglect).  I have found spider webs growing in there!

Here are some other things I like:

The figs & magnolia blossoms are on the way!  And we also have a very small blackberry patch in the very back of the yard.  Most everything else is just a weed, though.  I really need to find a spot to plant my hydrangeas!
