Brown Thumb

When we moved into our house there was a little bed in the corner of the back yard where a rose bush was planted. It was a very ugly rose bush, so eventually we got around to taking it out. We were left with a bare corner, and we hadn't decided what to do with it, so we just left it there. It became overgrown by weeds. Then, one day I was at Home Depot and I saw a bag of wildflower seeds, and I thought "What a great idea!", so I bought them and came home and planted them in the corner and then waited.

This is what I got:

Do you see any flowers there? Yeah, me neither. Just weeds.

So Scott and I weeded the corner and decided to try something else.

We went to Home Depot and bought several potted plants that were suited for our climate:

And then we came home and planted them. They looked pretty good!

We watered them and said nice things to them and took very good care of them, but apparently I'm terrible at growing plants because this is what we have now:

At least one kind of plant is still alive...
