A momentous occasion occurred today. Those who truly know me will be shocked... Are you ready???
I purchased bedding plants without the company and advice of a qualified adult!! My local hardware store had the best prices and at the risk of throwing cold cash into the wind, I spent considerably less than $25 to get a little collection of wave petunias, portulaca and tomatoes.
This is a big deal. My black thumb is infamous. Give me a houseplant and it WILL die. It's only a matter of how long the little thing will struggle to remain green in my presence.
My ancestors grew things. Crops and flowers and trees. Fruit that could be harvested and made into jams and jellies and wonderful desserts. Grandma's tulips loved her so much they sprung forth from the earth while snow was still on the ground.
So, tomorrow after my day job is done for another week, I will get dirt under my fingernails and try this torture known as yard beautification.
Way back in high school biology class I learned that plants are programmed to grow and reproduce. God supplies the sun and rain and I'll thrown in a little TLC. Maybe this season will mark a turning point in my love/hate relationship with green things.
If people are supposed to bloom where they're planted, I wonder what the Gardener would say about me?
I guess the official term for this is "delurking". I actually read quite a few blogs, but hardly ever comment. Thanks for being vulnerable and opening up about your blog. I will definately be back (even though reading blogs feels somehow like I'm reading your diary!!)
ReplyDeleteLook after those plants!,

Raelynn outed you - and is threatening to out me, too! :) I'd say my green thumb is slowly developing over time, but then again, my yard is currently being taken over with dandelions... Have fun!
