Jeez, I need to remember to save my blogs before I click anything *deep sigh* Lost everything I wrote the first time... here goes again....

Oh my goodness, It's been nearly a year since my last blog o.O

Well. Most of the plants from last year didn't make it. Either the dogs killed em or my mom killed em when I went to Canada (Id asked her to take care of my plants, and when I came home, Id lost more than a few seedlings, a miniature rose, a plant from last year Id thought died but it hadn't, but now it is dead (Don't know what it was) and my rosemary is dying (Id bought it a few days before I left and it was nice and healthy). Gosh.

I bought a few new plants yesterday though. Yarrow (yellow), Columbine (blue and purple with white in the middle), Strawberries, Bee Balm, Apache Thornless Blackberry, Tulips (white) and Peony (pink). The Peony is Indiana's state flower :) I also bought some roses a few weeks ago, Angel Face and Pascali (I think thats the one).

Two of my roses from last year made it through fine, Nearly Black and Irish Gold. My Norfolk Island Pine is still doing quite well... The main tree is anyway, I separated it from the smaller one growing with it, but the smaller one started drying up after I gave it to my bf :( And no he isn't trying to kill it *lol*

I've also got Pumpkins, Beans (don't remember what kind) and possibly a watermelon seedling. It sprouted amongst the beans, and it looks like the other watermelon seedlings Id had (which croaked). Yesterday I planted some Red and White Sweet Corn, basil and turnips. I hope they come up ok.

Anyhoo, gotta run :)

I'm sorry to hear about your plants dying off. That's too bad. I wish you the best of luck with the ones you've got now. Maybe somebody needs to get thorough instructions as to how to mind your plants?

Hehe. What I ought to do is tell mom that my plants are not to be disposed of until I can see them and decide for myself whether or not they can be saved *nods* My mini rose did have spider mites, but it was looking very healthy despite that when I left...hmm >.> Thats it, I'm not leaving any more precious plants in her care o.o

I always thought I had green fingers until my eldest lad left some of his plants with me. They didn't do well at all and I managed to kill off his New Zealand Bonsai and his Venus flytrap. (Very red faced to admit it.)Probably gave them too much TLC. Maybe it's a mother thing. LOL
I hope all the plants that you have now Jen do really well for you and stay healthy.
