Week 2

 I'm not exactly a first-time gardener, I have had quite a few plants in the past, from Turlington plants to succulents from the nursery plant sale, to even a seedling from one of the live oaks that are scattered across all corners of campus. Unfortunately, none of these green endeavors have ever been successful for me as they all died at one point or another. I have never been one to have much of a green thumb. I always joke around with my friends that "every plant I touch dies". I feel like I'm missing something in terms of what it takes to have a vibrant garden full of delicious foods I can harvest for meals and gorgeous flowers that I can look at all day. That's what I'm hoping to get out of this class this semester. I'm hoping not only to deepen my knowledge of various plants and what it takes to keep a garden healthy and growing, but be able to tell those same friends that I have "Turned over a new leaf" so to speak, and can not just keep my Turlington plant alive for more than a few months but one day cook them a meal that I grew myself. Here's to a new green beginning!
