 I don't know who needs to hear this, but you're a great gardener.

That plant really should have tried harder. 
 I need to hear this today. my plants are super neglected right now.

 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 
 That was me. I needed to hear that!😄 
 Thanks 😊 
 Thanks
