Longing for a Green Thumb

In hopes of seeing actual live green shoots spring from the soil, I planted a little herb garden today. Parsley, basil, coriander, and thyme...


I'm 95% sure nothing will ever emerge except perhaps a little mold. This is usually what happens when I attempt to grow herbs, flowers, you name it from seed. And if I buy a plant already living it tends to die within a matter of weeks.

Mostly I stick to cut flowers. They last only a few days, but they are glorious days. Especially where irises are concerned.
