The Crazy Gardener

thegavoice.com:

According to my grandmother, it’s time — time for spring terms like trowel, transplanter, cultivator, and tiller. For condo dwellers, there are containers, and for owners of large homes, it’s portions of their backyards.

My grandmother advised us never to plant seeds until after Easter, when the chance of frost has vanished, so here we are in the season of the green thumb.

If you really do get an A for effort, then I am at the top of my class when it comes to gardening. The truth is, I can kill a cactus.

In fact, I already have. Friends have gifted me plants in the past, from spider plants to bamboo to lilies, and I’ve killed them all.
