Showed this to my wife LOL!
When we were dating, I noticed she had two beautiful big terracotta pots with nothing growing in them. She joked that she had "black thumbs".
My grandmother had a collection of flowering geraniums that had survived playful dogs, multi-year droughts, and a bushfire that took out next-door.
(Geraniums are horror-movie tough.)
So when I visted Nan i took some cuttings, got them to root, and gave them to my GF. Helped her plant them.
They died. I decided to believe her.
You really married that woman? 😂
She's an amazing cook.
But I don't ask her to do anything in the garden :p
