So not fair....

You probably already know that Clara and I were born without a thumb...
a green thumb that is!
Just to prove our point, let us share our hydrangeas...

Not matter how much time we spend on the garden taking care of them, this is what we get:

Lots of leaves....not one single flower!

or...2 flowers a year, no leaves, plant has not grown in the last 3 years!

or...do we really need to explain????

We got to the conclusion that gardening is not fair.
This is what our older sister, Ana, gets...
even though for her, the garden is just that green space in the back of the house where to enjoy a cigarette break!

So not fair!!!!..Maybe we should quit gardening and pick up smoking...

From now on, Ana's garden, will be that space in the back of her house where Clara and I can steal hydrangeas from!

Gardening 101

We must admit: gardeners... we are not!
We grew up in sky risers in downtown Buenos Aires, with only an occasional house plant growing in a sunny corner...no garden, no backyard...(No, don't feel bad for us, the city life was a lot of fun!)
Throughout the years we have killed lots of plants, lets make that thousands of plants...
We can't grow fancy flowers with difficult names....heck, we can't even spell those names!!
But the funny thing is that we LOVE gardening, so we just had to learn to stick with the simple and an assumed...

Our favorites varieties are:
"The Impossible to Kill" Lavender


"I Love Pesto" Basil...

"Let's Pretend We Are Gardeners" Roses...

and lately...the "How Come I Never Had These Before??" Succulents

These are planted in vintage glass lamp parts...

...we might not be gardeners, but we sure are resourceful recyclers!!!
