I'm a plant serial killer. I need some help.
I just planted some sweet basil and some cilantro in outdoor pots on our front stoop. I told DH that usually when I plant seeds, they don't even bother to come up, so I don't have a lot of hope for these...
My next project is to pot some ivy that my grandma gave me a few sprigs of last spring. I've managed to keep it alive in water for a year and it's grown much larger, so I'm thinking maybe I should plant it. But I'm terrified of killing it.
AND - DH and I would loooooove to grow some cherry tomatoes - we tended our neighbor's planter full last summer when he was on vacay and I loved it.
Is there a secret to having a green thumb? Could you please share it with me? Starting with the very, very basics.. and maybe some advice on what might be a good little starter project?
