let your garden grow...for more than two weeks.

i want to get into gardening, i really do. the problem is i don't have a yard, just a balcony; so Jordan got me a hanging basket and flowers for my patio. but, i hate to say, with the hot weather and lack of habit, they withered and died. i think i had them two weeks?

i am not a plant killer, really, i am not. i am just not in the habit of taking care of them and going out to check on them. and like with any skill i wish to acquire i need to practice and work at it. 

so i hope to start a small herb garden. with these helpful  tips (see here and here), and of course advice from my mom, i know i  will be well on my way to accomplishing a skill that i never thought i would enjoy; the art of caring for your garden.

p.s. these pictures are from my dads garden. i love it when he gets excited about seedlings and starts showing me what each sprout will end up being. he is the cutest.
