With Spring finally here- I thought I would be brave and attempt my hand at keeping a few plants alive. I am not someone who can keep things alive very well; I am desperately trying to keep the cat and dog living while Greg is gone. Our cat caught pneumonia (now on antibiotics), and I am always forgetting to pick up dog food.
So what in the world makes me think that I can keep a few plants alive too? I don't know...call it wishful thinking and the fact that Wal-mart guarantees their plants for 1 year (yeah- keep your reciept).
I picked up these sturdy little guys under the pretense that the lady said they were almost impossible to kill.
With Holy week coming, I have always bought an Easter Lily. Although, I have never read the fine print, it wasn't until I got home that I read "may cause kidney and cartdiac arrest in cats." Of course...I thought, I buy the one plant that will actually kill the cat.
Some sweet basil in our bedroom...
It has such a yummy fresh sent- and if I actually cooked it would be great to use ;)
Yellow tulips and sweet basil...
Tulips, sweet basil, and a few yard clippings..
More tulips...I just love how they add color and seem to shout "Spring is HERE!!!"
Hoping to keep this lovely alive...so far so good (notice Evelyn's menagerie in the corner)!
If any of you have any green thumb advise PLEASE share! Have a great weekend everyone- next week I will be shaing some projects that I have been working on and easy house "fix ups."
~Cheers,
Melissa
