70/365: More patio garden additions

I'm sorry, i really am. I can no longer boast about posting a picture every day because i missed yesterday, day #69 :( I worked the late shift, came home at 10, ate dinner and had to go to bed right away because i worked the early shift today at 7:30. So i really didn't have any time, or motivation, to take a picture of the day and I am disappointed in myself. It's only three months in and it's proving to be hard already. But the cool thing, or depressing thing actually, was that the moon that was out when i drove home from work last night, was still out when i drove back to work this morning :/

So here is my new window box. I wanted some color instead of greens only, but I'm pretty sure i will end up killing them. Color = kill. I have better luck with just green viney plants. But we'll see...

66/365: Some new plants

I am becoming obsessed with plants. Last weekend, Osh had a buy one get one sale on hanging plants so I got two of those which are on the deck, and I also got the 4" fern in the background, but I liked the way this macro zoom came out on the jade plant.

I still have a window box to fill but I'm not sure what i want to put in it yet. I like my plants to stay green or colorful all year round and with flowers, they usually die on me or never bloom again so I want to stay away from that disappointment waiting to happen. Any ideas?

18/365: My patio garden

Ok, i promise this will be my last pic for a while of my patio "garden" but I am excited to finally have some new plants :) Today i got a pony tail fern, pothos ivy and a mini jade tree to add to my already planted box of cacti, single bloom orchid, and mini pine tree.

I'm surprised my mini pumpkin gourds from halloween are still looking good too!

17/365: Wishing I had a green thumb

Yea, nothing really exciting happened today. I tried to figure out what kind of succulent i have to see what i'm doing wrong to cause it to wilt. Other than that, we went shopping with our gift cards from christmas today. Spent about 10$ on things that shoulda been 60$ so i'm happy. And we watched My Best Friend's Girl with Dane Cook. I'm not really into him anymore, he's kinda overrated now i think. That is all. Good night.

10/365: Why can't I keep anything alive?

A few months ago I bought a window box and some cacti, purposefully because I knew cacti would be hard to kill knowing my previous track record with neglecting plants. And cacti live in the desert where there is hardly any rain, right? So it made sense to get them and set myself up for success. Well, lately the one cacti that has sprouted these two long antennae-like stalks is starting to wilt. I have no idea why because I'm not doing anything different than when they were thriving. It makes me sad because i was proud of myself for actually helping a plant live rather than die, but alas, it looks like I was wrong.
