brown thumb

I planted a tomato plant this weekend! It is supposed to bear fruit in 73 days (so says the tag), so we'll see. I'm very excited about it. I love the idea of growing something you can eat. I also must be an optimist, since I have a checkered past with plants.


I've you've ever been in our guest bathroom, you've been welcomed by this:

That's what happens to most of my plants. But this one refuses to die so I just keep it around. I can't bring myself to get rid of it.

But I'm encouraged by one of my very few success stories - we planted 2 daffodil bulbs in November and one is about to bloom!
