Though I kill everything I attempt to grow I still appreciate those who have found a green thumb. Thought this might be interesting to you folks here on the Garden Thread

Aerial view of acres of flowers

That is a swell aerial view of flowers. When in the countryside outside Munich, Germany, I saw field after field of yellow flowers, as far as one could see there were yellow flowers. I asked what they were and was told, “Those are hops for beer.” That was a cash crop of hops flowers.

“Though I kill everything I attempt to grow I still appreciate those who have found a green thumb.”

I couldn't keep a flower plant alive, I could kill any plant so I stayed away from them. It was Johnny that brought me to this gardening thread last year and I found out all I had to do was study how plants grow, research it on my own, plus read everything the gardeners on here wrote.

It's not magic to grow food plants. Then I went to container growing and learned how that works. It's the best option for me since I have the space for many containers, but not much real dirt and I hate dirt and the killer insects in it anyway. I actually think I'll get some food plus strawberries and blackberries this year.
