I've always thought it was akin to me having no ability to dance, though I wish I did. Is there hope for a non-green thumb girl like me? Can I learn what I need, or do some people have it while others just don't. I'd love to hear your thoughts :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01547380098561803645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-70028421460396655842011-07-10T16:18:15.912-05:002011-07-10T16:18:15.912-05:00I so agree!

The lawn is panting. :)<br /><br />I smelled your tomatoes--you are right; there is nothing like it.<br />tmorneryswifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13702378853361498700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-3438456721066633752011-07-10T15:05:26.541-05:002011-07-10T15:05:26.541-05:00I can't wait for our first tomato from our gar...I can't wait for our first tomato from our garden! Usually that's closer to the end of July or early Aug. here. I understand completely what you're saying. I also enjoy working along side hubby as he is tending the garden too. Great time to talk. Also the farmer's market is a great place to buy fresh, organic and locally grown produce that also beats Wally World hands down!yayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12047536332780197024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-30960260640311050172011-07-10T10:36:40.218-05:002011-07-10T10:36:40.218-05:00I can only manage three tomato plants out here in ...I can only manage three tomato plants out here in the desert but we love those fresh tomatoes every year!Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10096377415940689587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-20676039284898378032011-07-10T08:37:28.327-05:002011-07-10T08:37:28.327-05:00I love having our garden.
