For years I've tried and tried to develop a green thumb.
I'm beginning to think that a green thumb must be something
you are born with and not something you can learn.
But you know what?
I keep trying!
About a month ago I planted some sweet pea seeds
in one of those seed starting trays that you can buy.
That's me alright!
This is what the plants looked like just a few days after planting.
Yesterday I transplanted all those little plants into thier own little pots.
And I'm just crossing my fingers hoping that I can keep them alive
and thriving for another few weeks or so.
I'm hoping to use them as decorations for a gathering I am having.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if they were actually flowering?????
I know, I know...Wake UP!
I must be dreaming again!
Hope springs eternal in my soul!
Good for you for not giving up - it encourages me to hang in there with the gardening thing. I will keep fingers crossed for both of us! I just tell myself it's about taking baby steps, like growing lettuce in a pot on my sill and if that works, I will grow a salad garden. It also helps to have a good resource, I like Gardening Made Easy
