I'm a Sunflower!


I am a
Sunflower


What Flower
Are You?




"When your friends think smile, they think of you. There is not a day that goes by that you can't find something good about the world and your fellow human."



This is pretty accurate. For the most part I am annoyingly optimistic. I try to find the best in everything. There is a bit of reality in world, just a bit though. A good motto would be "Expect the best, and plan for the worst".

I planted strawberries in a hanging bag last weekend. I've always wanted one of these, though I've read horrible reviews. People call it "death in a bag". Apparently, the water accumulates in the bottom. The bottom plants drown and the top plants wither from lack of water. Bad reviews aside, I am a compulsive gardener with a very small patio. I need to start thinking vertically, if I want to satisfy my gardening addiction. Plus, I found a kit a great price at the big box store. It came with the hanging bag and 10 bare-root plants, all for about $5. Too good to pass up, even if it fails.

Gardening and Money are my big interests.

Here's a link to a picture of Parks Seed to see a similar kit. I hope it works.
