“I am not a gardener. I’m not just saying that because I do not enjoy gardening. Plants die on my watch no matter how hard I try to keep them alive. Even cactus seem to just NOPE out on me, and they are hearty plants! I follow directions, make sure to water and feed them, and have even talked to a flora and fauna from time to time. Nothing works. I’ll go to bed with a healthy fern only to wake up to corpse plant with no sign of cat molestation or dog disturbance. There was a time I really wanted to flower garden, but I just could not bring myself to buy pretty petunias or lovely lilies only to have them turn brown and black with decay in a matter of days. I, honestly, do not know how I manage to keep my children alive to for 25 years! My pets are even geriatric and totally healthy! I guess I will just have to settle for the flowers I find in my cocktails. Those I do not mind killing. Cheers!”
