Guys, I have the opposite of a green thumb, I have a red thumb....a red thumb of murder. See I kill plants at a ridiculous rate. It's sad really, so to solve the problem I went out and I bought me some cactus...es...cacti, and I was like ha take that mother nature, there's NO WAY I could possibly kill this, it doesn't need water so suck it!!! So I planted all of my cacti's and they sat there all dry like. Well weeks went by, and they just looked like they were starving, it was just sad really. So I watered them, and then I gave myself a pat on the back because me watering plants is kind of amazing. So the next day I go to check on my little cacti's and they all look like little deflated saggy balloons. I mean they are COMPLETELY DEAD. So I plunged into a dark pit of despair, because I mean really who is terrible enough with plants that they can kill a cactus?? And I vowed never to own a plant again. EVER... and then I changed my mind today when I saw all of the little buds blossoming in all of their glory.
So if there are any of you green thumbing gardening goons out there, is there a plant that no matter what you do to it, it could not possibly be killed by the likes of me? You know, besides a plastic one. Because spring is in the air and I just need to get my garden on.
Bamboo holds up really well! My mom stopped taking care of her bamboo plant and it just wouldn't die. Just put a tray filled with water underneath the pot.
ReplyDeleteAlso, if you want to grow veggies I recommend green onions and sorrel (a lemony lettuce). I just bought green onions from the store, cut off the white bottoms and stuck it in the dirt. I cut them off, eat them, and they grow back. I abused them by leaving them out all winter and they just kept growing! Sorrel is a kind of lettuce that grows back every year BUT I found out that even if you leave them all winter long and don't touch them at all, they will continue to grow - even through the snow.
Good luck, Red Thumb!

Ha! I say I have a black thumb because I kill my plants. I think my problem is that I love them too much AKA I overwater them. Not sure on what plant you could get. I love your peach shoes. They are perfection.
ReplyDeleteOh your poor cacti! Practice makes perfect? I love your outfit, I need blue pants like those in my life :)
ReplyDeleteLove those blue pants!

that jacket is killer. you look hot in all your pics, even your squatting acid wash jeans post. that's all.
ReplyDeleteMy first roommate in college bought me a cactus once. We named it Charlie. And then it died the same tragic death as your cacti.
ReplyDeleteCurrently, I do have a little palm tree that I've managed to keep alive for a couple of years! It's just a little one that I got in a gift shop in Florida. The package it came in said I only needed to water it every couple of weeks, so I thought I could handle it. Although now that I look over at it, it could probably use some water...
You can always try an air plant :) They are darling and when you think about it you dip them in a glass of water and you are done. I'm kinda obsessed with them right now :)
ReplyDeletecreeping charlie is the house plant that can't be killed. seriously, if you can't remember to water more then once every 2-3 weeks, fine. if you over water him, still fine. Just make sure you pot in a larger container because in one season it will grow quite large.

What do you think of SheInside? Theres a leather coat that looks super tempting but other asian places I have bought from their clothing has come being way too small and impossible to return with poor quality of work (like Forever 21). Thoughts? Worth it?
