I have a black thumb. The garden plot by our front door I plant with store-grown flowers each summer. But the plot in the backyard (yeah, the one that no one can see), is where I struggle half-heartedly with growing flowers from seed. Last year I did not get a single bloom, but I'm going to blame that on the absolutely awful summer. Only three days that hit 70 degrees does not a good growing season make.This summer I had a number of blooms - tons of violas, one lone lupin, a few snapdragons, and some great big daisies. By now most of them are past their prime, but every time I look out the window and see the great big flowers, I feel just a tiny bit proud!
Wooohooo for flowers!
