My Not So Green Thumb

I LOVE flowers, plants, gardens, outdoor, indoor, it doesn’t matter. I love them all. Unfortunately for me, I cannot keep a plant alive. I have tried many times. Seriously, I cannot keep anything alive, let alone get one to grow. It has been a little dream of mine to have a huge garden one day with beautiful flowers and my own produce. I don’t know what I do wrong…. I sometimes think maybe I’m watering them too much, maybe I’m not watering them enough, do they need to be watered everyday, is there something I am missing? This has plagued me since I was 5 years old and they send you home with one of those little potted plants to grow…. mine never grew, not even a little stem, I even kept it by the windowsill so it could get some sun! While other kids came back to school and there’s had sprouted inches high! Here are a few gardens that I LOVE

I love the clean lines in this garden. It looks functional and pretty for growing herbs and produce. 

These colors are so bright and fun!

Peonies are actually my favorite type of flower, but these hydrangeas look similar and are also lovely in a garden. 

These little tomato plants are my most recent attempt at growing something. The weather has been pretty warm lately and all the stores were selling herbs already so I thought I’d try it out. They were doing great, I was so excited. Nothing had grown yet, but I was optimistic! Then out of nowhere it became freezing!!! And they died. I was so disappointed! But I’m gonna try again in a month or so when the weather is a bit warmer.

Good news though! My other planter has basil, red lettuce, and cilantro! They are surviving the cold!!! 

Any green thumbs out there that can give me some tips on how to grow/keep these beauties alive?
