You are putting our gadern to shame! Well, that’s to be expected since I have a black thumb and the only thing I ever kept alive was a fir tree which I bought as a seedling when I was pregnant with Brenna. Somehow this tree represents her to me. I always remember to water it, etc. and now it’s huge enough to be a xmas tree, fourteen-years-old and branches reaching for the ceiling. I once took care of my friend’s plants for him in college when he was away for a week. I killed them all, even the cactus, except for this one plant which had these amazing, shiny leaves. I held it up proudly to him when he returned, trying to save face, offer him some hope, but he promptly informed me that it was plastic. I do think, though, that if I set my mind to it I could grow something. Who knows, your photos are inspiring me, maybe I’ll put some seeds in with Brenna and see what happens? Maybe her green thumb will rub off on me?
