Seasonal Planting

Author:

Shannon Breuner Nelson

I really, really, really, really, really want to have a green thumb. But I don't. I'm not sure if people are born with green thumbs or if they develop them with experience. I'm crossing my fingers for the latter. But while I wait and hope for my green thumb to grow, I'm going to do everything I can to try to grow something. Anything. Really. I could grow one tiny carrot and I'd probably post it on Facebook I'd be so proud.
