i was at a garage sale a couple weeks ago and bought two pots for $2. i thought i'd try to liven up our balcony a little bit and bring in some spring colors. so today, i am making my first attempt at trying to keep some flowers closer to alive than dead for an extended period of time.
i don't know anything about gardening. i usually over water things, causing whatever it is to drown. although, mike and i have somehow managed to keep one houseplant alive, but i think the plant actually refuses to die. when we moved to our apartment, i swear the plant was on its last leg--leaves super droopy and starting to turn brown--and so i just set it outside to wait for it to die. mike decided it still had some life to it, watered it, and a couple days later it bounced back. the plant has fought numerous times for its own life that i feel like i owe it to the plant to keep watering it. so i do, and it's still alive.
but flowers are a whole other category that i know will require much more tlc than i have offered to my house plant. we'll see.
but this is what they look like on day 1. aren't they pretty?

Hey Kirstin!
Very pretty indeed. Do I see yellow ranunculus in the larger pot? They are so so pretty and I'm afraid I never had much luck with them here but they do well in Carlsbad by the coast so maybe they will be good for you too. Never say "die"!! (Robert's philosophy is if it doesn't work just take it out and plant something else!) And of course Miracle Grow is something to have on your side!
Have a great week!

The flowers are so pretty I hope you didn't inherit my "brown thumb" gene and your flowers will thrive. Have a good day. Love you.
Hey Kirstin!
I just want you to know that I did my planting in our
back yard last week and it looks very inviting.
I owe this short burst of energy to you after you
filled your pots with your flowers....thank you!
I'll try to remember to take a couple of pics and send them to you.
Love,
Stalker Mom xoxoxoxo
