I wish I didn't kill every plant i've ever put in the ground... what I would give to have a backyard garden!!

Oh I know you can do it! Everyone has a little bit of a green thumb. You just need the right plants!

You don't understand...I even managed to kill a zucchini plant...

Oh that’s not too bad. Have you tried potatoes? They are pretty fool proof. Anything that’s a root vegetable is usually really easy. Carrots, turnips, etc. if you can grow grass you can grow asparagus too! I believe in ya!

Black thumb, eh? My sister has one of those. I can get almost anything to grow, but the little sister kills everything she touches!

Radishes, too, especially the round types and short fingerlings. They are an exceptional first food growing success choice!

Also... those of us who are seasoned gardeners don't ever stop losing plants. I have had years where I cannot grow tomatoes, despite growing them a lifetime. Every season is different, and there are variables at play.

I still lose plants all the time. Really, what you learn most over time is understanding WHY you lost those particular plants, and how to use that lesson to improve your results the next year.

I've missed you all SO MUCH, you crazy chickies!!

Here, some proof of my sanity: the 11 Leghorns and 1 Australorp I got plus a bantam I hatched last month. I wasn't going to get any Australorps this year, but they only had the 11 Leghorns and I just couldn't get an odd number of chicks.

Same boat here. I haven’t disked my field up yet or even bought seeds. We still have a few more frost days that I can procrastinate on!

Same here, but in my defense, we're still getting snow.

I've killed potatoes... twice. And carrots... twice. Going to try them again this year. Maybe 3rd times the charm.
