Going Green? Just our thumbs...

Now that we've got six months of marriage under our belts (going rather well, if I do say so myself) Todd and I have decided it's time to take up a productive hobby. Whilst mulling over this and what to get Todd's mom for Mother's Day, we came upon the perfect idea! Gardening. We'll plant a rose bush for Todd's mom and a windowsill herb garden for us. Todd already knows a bit about growing green things from his time on the botany team. (I'm not even joking. Just call the man Neville Longbottom.) So, we head off on a whirlwind tour of Millcreek Gardens, Home Depot, and Wal-Mart to gather all the supplies. Todd's roses come in big pots. My herb seeds come in tiny paper packets that only cost 50 cents each.

This is how Todd gardens.

















And this is his result.


















Pretty impressive, right? You only think that because you haven't seen what my pink elephant watering can and I can do!











This is how I garden.











And here's what I end up with.













Those are going to be fragrant thyme plants, to be used in conjunction with my other prospective hobby, gourmet cooking.
So, it turns out that adding pictures to blog posts is very complicated for me. This may or may not end up looking like a ridiculous jumbled mess. I'll practice though.
