This year someone gave me one of those small, live christmas trees. It was about 1 ft. tall. I think you're supposed to plant it outside when the weather warms up. I, unfortunately, managed to kill even that. Therefore, for me it artificial flowers and plants only. I have never been able to keep plants alive.

I have always forgotten about my plants. So sorry, LOL. My hubby refuses to get me plants now within the house. He does all the gardening in the summer outside (don't think he trusts me with those either, LOL). So any that I have, has always been fake plants. I mostly just have those that decorate vases. I do get yellow roses for my anniversary tho and this June will be 25 years :) Hi Janelle! I have always forgotten about my plants. So sorry, LOL.

I once counted over 100 houseplants in my mom's home a few years ago. Before they moved, my mom had flower gardens in the front of the house, and my dad had a huge vegetable garden in the back. I unfortunately don't have plants now because I move every 9 months (or less). Oh, the nomadic life of a student. I'm amused you used 409 on the silk plants. I was waiting for you to say the cleaner ate through the silk, or something :P Hi Janelle,

I can't wait for spring to get here so I can start clearing out my flower beds and planning what flowers to put where. That is joy growing something from seed and watching it blossom into a beautiful plant! I have a wonderful garden center now thanks to my fantastic, and handy hubby! He built me one on our side porch that houses everything I need including a sink, desk, chair, cabinets, shelving units, hooks, radio, wall clock, lights, etc. I will be out there all the time once the warm weather hits. I can't wait! Here's hoping to an early spring! I have a green thumb. Gardening is one of my favorite hobbies!

House plants are nice, but they die on me because of lack of light, and it's too much trouble to take them out to the patio and back in again. Good luck with selling your house. It sounds like you know how to get it ready for the market. I like gardening and growing flowers outdoors.

I am not much of a gardener either, but I do appreciate beautifully landscaped gardens when I see...sometimes I wish that I could have a garden that beautiful...I don't know if I have a green or black thumb because I have never gardened before...never had the need to living in an apartment and all... I don't have any plants in my house and when I priviledged enough to receive any of them, I try...the operative word here is try...to take care of them, but they die from neglect...I guess I do have a black thumb...I take before and after pics as proof of my skills at keeping and taking care of plants... an aside...Janelle I finally finished the Wilde series two days ago...before I said that Mia's story was my fav, but Joel's definitely took first when I got through it...can't wait to read about Ben and the rest of the ESS crew... I am awfully (sp?) tired so I am going to sign off now...talk to you all tomorrow... Peace and love, Paula R. Hey Janelle and jungle friends…
