It’s official. I am a terrible plant mother. I was so happy when I got this flower at the farmer’s market on Saturday but by Tuesday my plant was on it’s way out. I don’t know what my problem is, I put it in front of a window so it gets sun, but not too much, and I’ve watered it almost daily.

The truth is, this is about the fourth plant that has lost it’s life in my hands, the worst being a mint plant. When I purchased the mint plant, I told the woman about my inabilities as a grower and she said “Oh this is the easiest plant to grow, they almost never die”. So I put it on my fire escape, watered it and then a few days later looked out my window to see that it had fried to death.

Maybe one day I’ll get the hang of it, but for now, I think I have to stick to cut flowers. Bummer.
