You are not alone in the black thumb department! Because of my black thumb, I no longer attempt to grow anything! I can't have plants because I'll kill them - they just don't like me. And flowers, really don't care for them either. Don't get me wrong, they are nice and all but they die! After a few days, they are dying and you have to throw them away. I'd rather hubby spend the money on something that's gonna last beyond a few days if he's looking at getting me flowers for anniversary, valentines, or birthday. I know, I know - I sound like the "Flower Grinch"...LOL!
