Now, I've downsized to a few pots in the kitchen window.Francene Stanleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08298485336064691700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6060111130693623770.post-34253453182767913492012-04-03T10:13:22.713-07:002012-04-03T10:13:22.713-07:00I'm not a great gardener, either, but my husba...I'm not a great gardener, either, but my husband is. We have greatly downscaled our garden over the last several years. My fav are tomatoes! Tons and tons of tomatoes.

But one plant I have always had a curiosity about is the Venus Fly Trap. Just because it seems so oddly 'Little Shop of Horrors'-like. I suspect they are pretty hard to maintain.wsbharkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12896808265604736376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6060111130693623770.post-81055352666628681542012-04-03T09:01:41.640-07:002012-04-03T09:01:41.640-07:00i love gardens and flowers--all about them---but d...i love gardens and flowers--all about them---but don't love gardening myself---i have never had much success with seeds :(Lynn Proctorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349867270815243053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6060111130693623770.post-48724624062499274712012-04-03T08:35:34.360-07:002012-04-03T08:35:34.360-07:00Boo, that's terrible. I wonder if there were ...Boo, that's terrible. I wonder if there were unwanted minerals in your water, I've found that can make your plants grumpy. If (when) we get a yard I think we'll grow a lot of veggies and flowers.<br />I like sassafras too, I forgot about that. Their leaves are the ones that have three different shapes right? When did it become a carcinogen?!

Worst summer garden ever.<br /><br />If I could only grow one plant, it would be sassafras trees. I think they are beautiful and I love the way they smell and I love how they have different-shaped leaves. Sadly, I would not be able to use it to brew root beer, because sassafras extract is now considered a carcinogen. So I'd have to buy fake sassafras extract. Sadface. But I could still enjoy the beautiful trees.Callie Leuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09535505792102190920noreply@blogger.com
