Look at this forecast!! Isn't it wonderful!! I LOVE Thursdays! Unfortunately I have to work that day. At least I won't be freezing my butt off like last week. Last week at work I got frostbite. I'm not kidding! Skin fell off of my fingers. This weather makes me want to plant things so bad. I know I'm getting impatient. Yesterday the weather was so nice. I spent a couple hours outside picking rocks and making a flower bed.
Speaking of plants. I really don't think I have a green thumb. But I try hard. I blame my lack of gardening on my mother. I think she could kill a plastic plant. lol. My dad touches things and they grow. He can grow anything. so here I am with my dads will to grow things and my mothers luck! Anyway, Aunt Kay bought me a neat plant for my housewarming party. I planted it, not really expecting it to grow because I'm just that way. What do you know?? It grew and grew and grew!! This plant is like 2 feet tall... BUT it hasn't bloomed and I'm starting to get worried. I think I need to transplant it into a bigger pot and maybe then it will bloom. I'm scared to death of killing it! Because of this fast growing plant it has gave me the confidence to buy more plants. I'm falling in love with "plant kits" They come with everything soil, seeds, pot. Everything a beginning gardener needs. Plus it gives me the opportunity to grow these plants in my kitchen. Which not only makes my kitchen pretty but gives me a chance to see these plants several times a day each and every day. This I hope will help me learn how things grow and what to do when I have a big garden outside. While in Springfield last week I bought the neatest little tiny "garden kit" It's a kit that grows 4 leaf clovers! How cool is that?!?! It's like only a one inch pot. It was a dollar at Target. Then the other day I was looking for my Mother-in-law a birthday gift and I found some garden kits that were fruits and vegies! I bought her strawberries. they have a huge garden and I wanted to buy her something that they normal didn't grow and that was it. I also bought me a strawberry plant and a sweet pepper plant. I'd much rather grow something that I can eat than I would flowers but I'm having so much fun planting that it doesn't really matter. One of my favorite flowers to grow is Tulips and my Mother-in-law bought me tulips the other day. They are so pretty. They too are in my kitchen. I was really missing my Tulips from our old house. Now at least I'll have a start. I'm also going to miss my Easter Lilies. I've loved Easter lilies since I was a kid. It took all my dad could do to keep me from picking them when I was little... Oh great now I'm REALLY missing Easter lilies! lol
This post just keeps getting longer and longer. lol. I honestly only meant to write about the weather. It's too warm to be in here. I'm headed outside!!
I'll get some pictures taken and keep you filled in on the progress.
