I've been given plants from birthday parties, sunday school, nursery, family gatherings AND I CAN'T GROW THE DARN THINGS. My poor poor dc are so disappointed with each failure...

On Friday I collected my dc from nursery to be greeted with a pack of seeds from each of them - some sort of freebie promotion from morrisions. AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH

What kind of seeds? Some plants are damn near impossible to fuck up.

Until a herd of cattle arrive in your garden, of course.

You can make a tidy earner selling weed though.

at Lotster. Weeds are plants though-they just don't grow in the proper place .

Sunflowers are dead easy. They were planting them on Chris Evan's radio show the other week, so maybe it's not too late?

Plant them pointing up, btw.

YANBU. I feel exactly the same! I know it's my fault I never remember to water them so they die, but there you go. I remember to give the kids food and drink .
