I have never really been good with plants.  They seem to die faster that I can turn around.  Who has time to water every day?  They look so pretty, though, and have such a way of making a backyard feel like home.  I love them, I just can't make them live!  Every year I plant plants and every year they die way before their time.  Well, this year I decided things had to be different.  My kids love being outdoors.  We have a playscape they could spend hours on.  Jason is a master on the grill, and well, I LOVE to sit on the back porch with a glass of wine, just enjoying it all!  So, the weekend of April 9th, I planted plants around the backyard.  I have been deligent in watering them every day.  The kids help remind me!  It is actually therapeutic, I think, to spend 10-15 minutes a day outside in the summer air.  I have come to enjoy my plants and  I am SO proud to say, THEY ARE ALIVE!
