Little Plot Of...

Now that the weather is warm enough I have started my garden again. Now when I say "garden" you may picture a beautiful place with wild, exotic, peaceful, colorful, or just pretty flowers and plants. Well, this does not describe my garden at all. You see I have what is known as a brown thumb, I pretty much kill any sort of green vegetation I try to grow. In fact last year when Maria asked about my garden she said, "Your garden looks very...green." And I had to admit there wasn't really any color in the garden, except for one pot of flowers, all the flowers I had planted had never grown. Why start something that with my talents, or lack there of, seems like a waste. well, there were three reasons I started a garden, 1.) we had a large area in our Yard that looked like it had once been a garden but was now over grown. 2.) I was pregnant and want a less strenuous exercise, and 3.) I love being outside in the spring. So me and my mom started "our" garden. I like to comfort myself that the reason we didn't get any flowers last year was because we were concentrating on clearing away the many wild and unwanted plants and making our little plot of land more garden like. This year I want to do better so I got a book, "Basic Gardening for Dummies." It claims to be able to help turn my brown thumb into a green one, I hope it works.
