They are usually very thankful, though, and a strong shower will do wonders!! can't water the garden with tap water nowadays or else we'll get a fine... send some rain to Spain!! happy ww!
Oh gosh! I used to be an avid house plant grower but the past few years I think I water once a month during the winter, maybe. I can't wait till spring and summer to move them outside and let the dying be blamed on Mother Nature!
The story begins like this: A couple of years ago my husband got a crazy notion in his head that returning to school after years in the professional world might be a good idea. So he and I along with our three children left our suburban life in the U.S. and traded it for a new adventure in The Netherlands.
The saga continues like this:
A year of post graduate study was so much fun, we figured we'd stay a while longer. Working in a new field, attending new schools and living in a new city, I dare say we have settled into a rhythm in our expat lives.
This blog is the record I keep of our experiences here; good, bad and hilarious. Intended as an outlet for my expression, this is the place for me to say my something.
I know that sight. For some reason our houseplants generally suffer the same fate! Happy WW
ReplyDeleteSadly, this looks like every plant I've ever tried to grow.
ReplyDeleteOh that IS sad--no, make the hurting stop . . .
ReplyDeleteSad.
ReplyDeleteA lot of my plants end up like that. Only the hearty survive.
I've been trying to get better at it though!
Poor plant, it doesn't look hopeless though, I've seen plants bounce back with some TLC. Thanks for visiting.
ReplyDeleteThat reminds me...all that pre-wilted wilted lettuce I'm growing! RIP little plant!
ReplyDeleteHaha, did you sneak into my house to take that shot?! It looks like all of my ill-fated attempts at developing a green thumb!!
ReplyDeleteOh poor plant! I don't know how to take care of plants so good either, but i would love to if only i know how. Happy WW!

ReplyDeleteAw. Poor, sad, dead thing. We had one of those at our place this week - a poor, sad, dead thing. Ours was Julia's first fish, Fridgie.
ReplyDeleteI should show you a photo of my aloe plant!
