Have you ever felt sorry for a flower nobody wanted and it was on sale? That was the begonia that I purchased. I thought if I loved and cared for it that I could save it~~LOL~~
I used to belong to a Garden Club for a couple of years but it was in a very busy time of life, still raising children, PTA, room mother,all kinds of ball games they were involved in and I just had too much on my plate!
My mom could make anything grow! She truly had a green thumb and when I was sort of a beginner, my husband would tease me about having a ‘brown thumb’. It was all done in love and laughter, though! Mom and I never went anywhere in the spring that we didn’t come home with more flowers to plant! I long for that again but its gone forever...*sniff*
Did you see the tulips?
I can definitely see how busy you can be that it would be tough to be in a garden club. That is such a special memory.
I have purchased a lot of half alive plants :) Good sale deal, if I can make them grow. ;)
