I’ve never been much of a “green thumb” kind of girl…but my mama has always had one. I’m best at growing cactus…and weeds. See the theme? Neither requires much from me. If I’m to grow flowers, it takes a higher authority – someone who has a green thumb and isn’t afraid to use it.
But with my mom’s help, I’m learning. Here are the results of three years of efforts to get something to grow: 
The question is…who’s going to keep it up when my mom isn’t here to tell me what to do anymore?
