Green thumb?

As has often happened in the springtime, I recently got excited to try and turn my thumb green by growing some fruits & veggies. The stores have such great sales and make gardening look easy!

It started a few weeks ago at Target... the $1 section had little packets of seeds, dirt and pots for tomatoes and basil, all for just $1. So I gave it a try... and look at my little seedlings!!

Basil


Then at Walmart, I saw this:


For only $7! How could I pass that up?! Think of all the homegrown tomatoes we'll get from it, right? The seeds that came with this kit are... not doing so well. I planted them like 2 weeks ago and they're not sprouting at all!! I've been watering them and everything. I think I'll have to buy some more seeds :(


THEN, we moseyed on over to the garden section, where I decided I HAD to have a raspberry plant for only $5.


I planted it on the side of our yard where it's pretty sunny most of the day.

Let's see how long this green thumb thing lasts.
