Green Thumb?

"Um, honey? It's dead" hubby told me the other day

"Oh, what now?"

"Those herbs you were growing, you know your supposed to water them right?"

I'm not much of a green thumb but I at least know to water plants!!

A few months ago I was in Woolworths and saw some DIY herb gardens from the Jamie Oliver collection. I thought it was fool proof so I got a few!

The kids and I got excited and got it all set up to grow our own herbs.

For two weeks I kept it on the window sill in the sun, watered it every second day like the instructions said and just generally looked after our little garden.

And steadily for the last two weeks my herbs have been dying.

I'm just not a good gardener...the kids were so upset today when I finally decided that the dried up brown bits of mush couldn't be saved and I threw it all in the bin.

Oh well-I've got 3 more boxes to try out before I'm considered a real failure...wish me luck!!
