Some plants like me and hang out forever, others run screaming for the dust bin.<br />You are a funny woman.<br />Perhaps this plant killer could show up in one of your books.

She hasn't asked me to help her, however, since I bled all over one of her quilts. I'm pretty good at skewering myself with those lovely quilting needles. =D<br /><br />Great post, Michele.Cheri J.

I have the oppo...Michele, your blog made me laugh. I have the opposite problem. People keep giving me houseplants and they hang around forever. Good grief, I even had a poinsetia that lasted for six years. I still have the plant my husband gave me after our first big fight over forty years ago. I have a snake grass plant that was a little bitty thing in a planter someone gave us when my father-in-law passed away thirty years ago. It's now six feet tall. I like houseplants, but I have enough. Now garden plants--I can usually find a spot for one of those even if my flowerbeds are getting kind of full.Jenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15623353613539928215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4193910359201416007.post-26058540090738855032009-05-15T00:05:00.000-06:002009-05-15T00:05:00.000-06:00Michelle, me too on the plant killing!

This is our first year trying to grow vegetables (recession and all that) and I' convinced we'll get nothing if I go anywhere near the vegetable patch.<br /><br />Scrapbooking I hope to get into some day. It looks so good when other people do it.Anna Buttimorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14559142770865747131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4193910359201416007.post-62121177561825484712009-05-14T16:44:00.000-06:002009-05-14T16:44:00.000-06:00I understand your torment. I too am a plant killer...I understand your torment. I too am a plant killer. For some reason, I can keep cut flowers looking beautiful for longer than I can keep a growing plant alive. I have to agree with you on scrap booking too. I actually think that it was invented by men to torment women...I am not a brad maker either. I try, but my bread never turns out as good as everyone else's. I have found that putting brad into a vehicle in the summer though can get a really good rise out of the yeast.Kelsi Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05936003165476932401noreply@blogger.com
