Can I Keep Anything Green and Healthy?!?

Can you grow plants?  Well, I ... really can't.  I do have ONE plant that I've had for a couple of years, but it doesn't look great.  I've tried lots of plants over the years and ... I struggle.  

Then after reading The Nester's series on plants - and terrariums - I thought to myself "maybe I can grow one of those!" 


I decided to make one with a lid, for one reason and one reason only.  Mickey.  The cat.  He doesn't pose for pictures the way Inky did, so you'll have to wait to see him.  I gotta get lucky.


 Anyhoo, I was on a trip - the same one where I visited Bass Pro -  and I bought an apothecary jar at Michael's with my 40% off coupon.  Then went to Home Depot and picked up three little plants to fill it up with.  Since I'm not a plant person, I have no idea what they are.  I lost the little thingys that came stuck in the pot. 


Oh I see me!  At least sorta.  It's really, really hard to photograph a glass.


 I do know one is some type of fern.  I mean geez, I have some plant sense.  :)




 I may try to find some miniature thing to go in there.  I think a tiny church would be awesome.  But considering I live MILES from any cool stores, it might take me a while!




Well, we'll see how long this green thumb lasts.  These are supposed to be easier than a regular plant and believe me - I'm the perfect guinea pig to test it out!
