I’ll tell you the things that I’m really good at.
Real estate.
Resourceful and practical thinking.
Quick puns.
Being reliable.
Taking care of kiddos.
You wanna know what I’m not good at?
Gardening and plants.
Here’s what I want to know:
How do folks acquire their green thumbs?
What types of jobs do avid gardeners tend to have?
How does one learn to move so slowly in the world to actually garden?
I can remember house sitting for folks.
Folks with beautiful gardens.
And I’d ask the specifics.
You know, to get it right.
How much water and how often?
To which they would reply, you know just make sure that they are watered.
Like, what does this mean?
The same folks that would be able to tell me if the windows in the home are south facing,
what time of day the sun hits the strawberries, and exact time, day, and location that you should plant your starters.
But they can never quite answer the specifics of how much water it takes to keep the garden green. You know it’s true!
It’s all a mystery to the rest of us.
Deep down inside, we all want to be a secret gardener!
I want to become a houseplant parent so badly.
As soon as this reno is done, it’s going to be house plant city baby!
Send me your favorite, easy to take care of house plant list!
