The desert.
That wonderfully dry, sunny place where plants come and go in the strangest of conditions…
My yard.
That place where this not-so-green-thumbed-person tries to manipulate the elements. Sometimes successfully. Sometimes not.
This blog.
A public, digital record of where the two meet.
The most recent photos of my gardening and greenery attempts:
I neglected to take photos of my Green Pepper Plant. It’s terribly wilted and I can’t seem to revive it. It’s still very green, just wilted. So maybe I didn’t forget to photograph it, so much as I don’t want evidence of my being a plant killer blackthumb.
There are only two tiny flowers blooming in the front window garden. Next year, I’ll remember to lay down some soil first and rake in the seeds. Even when the container says it’s okay to scatter upon dry ground. ‘Cuz that’s obviously not too true.
Are you a greenthumb? What’s your favorite plant?
And Frankly, My Dear… that’s all she wrote!
No green thumb here. I have exactly one green plant that I’ve kept alive since I moved here to Maine 12 years ago. I’ve killed all the others :( LOL, but I love looking at other people’s!!! :)

What kind of plant do you have, Jenn? I just can’t seem to get the right balance of watering. I either drown my plants, or they shrivel up…!

I used to garden with my late hubby..He would do most of it…After he passed, I just kept up the yard, and had someone seed the garden with grass. This year, I decided I missed tomatoes so I am growing them in pots (2) and (1) pepper plant. I made a box filled with herbs. Of course, it is turning into a scorcher here in NYC.98 degrees 3 days in a row..ugh..Everything wilts, especially ME. I am trying to keep them moist, We shall see. We aren’t up to your stage with tomatoes already! I am jealous! Flowers in my garden grow without any help needed by me..(a good thing!)

Winnie, thanks for your comment. I’ve always wanted to visit NYC. I can’t imagine how yucky it must be to be that hot AND have any humidity at all. I tried herbs last year, but not this year. My tomatoes should be ready to pick in a few days; I’m so excited! And a little jealous that you have growing flowers. I’ll keep you posted on my garden’s growth. ;) Stay tuned!
