I have to tell you, I have NO real flowers in my home, NONE! It's sad, I know!
My mother.... (via maybe the early 1960s here)
had the green thumb for sure!
We always had a windowsill full of plants, I especially remember
African Violets.
Plus there were flowers growing around the house,
and to boot,
a vegetable garden.
I never picked up this talent...
But Hope Springs Eternal!
Today I'm taking a chance again
on a little Walmart special...
Is it true that if you talk to your plants
they'll grow?

Don't give up on plants! You can do it! I love gardening, but I don't always have great success. It's so calming digging in dirt and getting grubby.
ReplyDeleteI agree don't give up. Try something pimple like the carrott plant I mentioned on my blog.
ReplyDeleteWe learn by doing they say..so keep trying. Hugs Elaine
Do talk to them! They thrive so much better with that extra tlc! Your mom looks sweet in the apron and broom in her hand! Our mothers were just incredible women!
ReplyDeleteNever give up try easy things! Grow tomatoes! Lots of plants don't require an expert green thumb! Go for it!
That's a very nice scrapbook, saves a lot of time and your Madison is such a cutie Pretty name too!...Christine
ReplyDeleteCute little girl and Yes, you DO look too young to be a grandmother!
ReplyDeleteAw, look at your sweet Mama. And her pretty crisp,white curtains and pretty blue walls behind her. My mom loved African Violets, too.
ReplyDeleteMy Grandma kept a good-sized garden up into her 90's.
