{in the dirt}

There is nothing in my pots.
My celery died because I watered it too much.
My green onion, I didn't tell you about because of the celery, is wilting and I think I didn't water it enough.

My gardening skills are going south. Not in a good way.


However, I did rescue a poinsettia and a green, piney thing from work and they seem to be doing well.

What's important here, is that I have not started to plan to turn the weird plot of back yard you see into a haven. {I find it comical that you can see where Tom Mater & friends sat beside the fence. My sweetheart does not find this funny, at all.}

Things to keep in mind, is I can't dig & I shouldn't kill the grass. We use this odd splat of cement to grill sometimes, so it is nice to be able to pull out chairs. Oh, and we don't know if we will be here til the end of summer. So, I shouldn't get excited and go all out.

This year I need to keep my plants more miniature than last year. I'm hoping for tomatoes, lettuce, & cucumbers at least. I'm hoping for something new too, as well as hopefully a cute pot and some non-expensive dirt. Not too much to ask right?

Wish me luck!!
