One goal it looks like I'm going to fail at

Last year for my birthday I came up with 30 things that I wanted to accomplish before I hit the big 3-0. I still have some time (but da-ang does it go by fast) and recently I was reminded of one goal that might be a little harder than I thought to accomplish. Finishing my Masters? Nope. Learning a whole new language? Nein. Those are of course hard, but nah, those aren’t the goals I'm referring to. I’m talking about the one involving a garden.

I’m actually rather embarrassed to post the following images, but there comes a time in one’s life where they realize that they need to ask for advice because what they are trying is clearly not working. The pot is supposed to contain white daisies. The small skeletal figure in dried up dirt? A Bonsai tree. If that doesn't scream Green Thumb, then really, I don't know what does. Skillz!

But I will not quit!

Just feel free to leave lots and lots of gardening advice :)

I thought you were the green thumb that brought back our clover plant to life? I know you have a history of killing pets, but plants? What's up with that?

Apparently it peaced out when I moved to Texas :) Maybe 2010 will be different :)
