This is
probably not the update you were expecting, but I have no garden. Despite my best efforts and intentions my
seeds started out and then withered away.
I have to confess.
I am a
murderer.
I just
can't seem to grow anything. My black
thumb has presented itself yet again. My
pots and containers I had collected sit empty and will continue to do so I'm
afraid. When it comes to vegetable
gardening, quite frankly, I suck!
Good
thing I am not a farmer. We'd all be starving.
So I will
concentrate on what I do better. I will
visit the orchards and the farmers markets and purchase my produce from those
who know what the heck they are doing and bring it home to can and preserve.
Sometimes
you just need to accept your limitations.
On a more
positive note my darling daughters don't seem to be blessed the same as I and
the flowers they planted from seed are doing wonderfully. They put them in the flower pots at the front
door and I love having them to greet me every time I come home from work. Perhaps next spring I should put them in
charge of any attempts at vegetable gardening and just stay completely out of
it.
Are you
growing a garden this year?
Oh, that's so sad and frustrating! I can relate - I am NOT a gardener. Fortunately, the previous owners of this house left us a great start to a garden (lots of gorgeous flowers, raspberries, strawberries, asparagus), and my hubby has a green thumb and loves playing in the dirt. So I get to enjoy the fruits of their labor, and all I have to do is water when he's busy!

That's what I need to do. Find me a honey with a green thumb!! Brilliant! :) Thanks Molly. ;)
DeleteHee Hee! You made me chuckle. Sorry to hear about your garden. I stink at it too. I never even got one started this year. But on the plus side- I went to the orchard today and got a tote bagful of goodies! :)
ReplyDeleteOur weather has been so nuts this year. But I really can't blame it all on the weather, or can I ..... ? :)
DeleteSorry to hear about your gardening misadventures.
ReplyDeleteI always thought I lacked a green thumb but, no, it is mainly just indoor plants I kill. If they are outside, they thrive just fine. It helps, I suppose, the weather here tends to be warm and humid. Our garden seems to adore it.
Glad your daughters have green thumbs. Maybe they can plant everything next time. :D
Oh I can totally kill indoor plants. No problem at all. I currently have zero plants in the house.
