I was completely unsatisfied with how BORING my balcony was, so I decided to grow my own min-garden. I wrongly assumed that since my parents had natural "green thumbs," that I of course would have that same great trait and it would be simple! So, I went to Target and I bought these 'simple' (what I hoped to be 'fool proof') kits.
I made sure to follow ALL the instructions and when I finished, I placed my garden where it would receive "partial sun."
The instructions also indicated that the plants need to be covered, and kept moist but not too much water. At first it was very exciting since I saw growth immediately!
But now, its been a few weeks and they're no longer growing! I do not know if it has been the crazy weather or the excess rain, but to no avail they have stopped one of them even died! I also have a plant that we left in the car by mistake and I have tried to revive it back to life and that is not working either!
My Balcony Gardening 101 is turning out to be a not so success. I will continue to attempt but I obviously do not have the green thumb trait. Anyone have any suggestions or comments to help me liven up my mini-garden? Please save these plants lives!
