2 thumbs & a dummy

All the women in my family have green fingers. Anything they grow, lives and bears fruit. Me….I’ve got the most rotten fingers ever! Nothing I’ve every grown has ever bore any fruit…heck, they never survive passed the 3rd day. But Mum hasn’t given up on me…. lol

The last 2 times she came over to help with the girls when they were first born, she would always end up encouraging me to start a small veggie patch on our balcony. And each time she gets me hyped up, I get excited and plan for something things that just don’t happen in the end. Her latest effort was to actually get a small herb garden going and honestly, I tried my best to keep them alive but alas, just a few weeks after she left, they began to die. :/

I honestly wasn’t surprised at all. In fact, she even suggested that I train Arianna to water the herbs for me which I did :

See…? I tried, Mum…I really did.

But after yet another failed patch I’m just about to give up but not Mum….she’s suggested something else now. Now she wants me to try one of those hydroponic systems!! *slaps forehead* I don’t know, Mum….I’ll have to think about it.
