I feel like I’m getting the hang of this. I have killed numerous plants over the course of my life time. But, I have found my niche! Cactii. I have a Christmas Cactus at work that is doing fantastically and I have an aloe plant at home that is a sturdy little thing.

This summer I have tried petunias in some pots on the north side of my home. I planted them by hand instead of just buying them already in decorative pots. So far, I’ve been successful at keeping them for about four weeks.
