PATHETIC!

I am the worst gardener ever......I don't even think I should say gardener. I have no clue what I'm doing when it comes to plants. I can distinguish a weed from a flower so all is not lost but overall, I am pathetic. It is an annual tradition for me to kill at least a 1/2-dozen plants. This year, it's our pretty, flowering shrubs (or at least they were) in front of the house. I apparently trimmed them back this fall and now they are 3/4ths dead and look atrocious. At least the landscape company likes me - they are probably anticipating my phone call. I have dozens of books on gardening and still have no clue. Maybe it's like being able to roll your tongue or not.....some people are born with it and some people try and fail over and over again.
