When I saw today’s meme {what you can grow} for Capture the Everyday, my first thought was my nails {thanks prenatal vitamins}! Then I realized Melissa meant something green.
I can easily show you what I can’t grow. That, my friends, is the shamrock plant my aunt brought over when I hosted bunco St Patty’s day. One month later that bad boy is done. My mom swears she’s never heard of anyone killing a shamrock plant. My green-thumb’d Nana said they require a lot of light {which it wasn’t getting on both my kitchen & then dining room tables}.
But due to magic {I know it’s not me}, the tiny little day lillies I planted our first spring in this house {Apr 2006} are thriving again this year. I noticed when I took this photo today that they are thisclose to budding flowers.
Half black thumb, half green thumb equals grey right?! What can you grow? Anyone else think Melissa meant hair/nails/babies?!

I think the nails would have been awesome:) Good job with the lilies – pretty!
Haha- could be anything really. I was even hoping for a post about growing mold! Your first picture cracks me up– that's like what I usually do to plants! Grey thumb's a great explanation– I think that's what I may have!
Love it! I, too, have the black thumb of death. Thank goodness my husband is good at keeping plants alive. 🙂
Hi there – popping over from Adventuroo! I have pretty good luck gardening but I can not get a day lily to survive in my yard. Congrats for keeping your going! 🙂
