Green Thumb

I have to say that I have thoroughly enjoyed seeing all of the beautiful things that everyone is growing via their blogs lately. Anyone want to come and do mine?

To illustrate my point, my loving, adoring, husband says to me at dinner tonight, "Honey, if we had to farm to eat...we would die."

So true! Every year - EVERY YEAR - we have bought hanging baskets for our front porch. Every year - EVERY YEAR - they have died within a month. It looks like we would either:
a. Learn how to take care of them or,
b. Just give up and not buy anymore

My dad can grow anything. So can my mother-in-law. She gave me an aloe plant a few years ago. It too is also dead. Do you know how hard it is to kill an aloe plant?
