I cannot keep indoor plants alive if my life depended on it, but I started outdoor veggie gardening about 4 years ago, and it's been very successful! And totally therapeutic. Also I think I like that there is a set time in the year for it - late spring and summer. By the end of the season, I welcome the break for winter/hibernation. (Totally a metaphor in there)
I feel you on indoor plants too, Delaney! That's good to hear that outdoor vegetable gardening is going well and I appreciate your point that it's time limited. That's sometimes hard to remember that when it feels overwhelming. And I appreciate a winter metaphor too :)
Haha I can relate, Katharine ! My brother, mother, grandmother and her whole side of the family have/had incredible green thumbs and I can’t even keep a cactus alive. Love the photoshop garden layout idea!
Oooh I love that garden plan!
Thanks Maddy! I just couldn't visualize it without seeing it.

I have the exact same thing trying to keep indoor plants alive...
I'm pretty similar with indoor plants too, Sarah. Even the ones that are supposedly "easy" to keep alive.
Ooh gardening is satisfying. As a lazy gardener, I love plants that are low maintenance.
Yes, gardening really is satisfying. I'm totally with you on the low maintenance plants, Cara!

Thanks Anna! I just inherited a couple cacti from a friend and now have to keep those alive too. Fingers crossed!
