Just About Time for May Flowers

I have such the knack for killing any plant gifted to me within the space of a month. And it usually takes less time than that.

It probably has something to do with my three, plant-hungry kitty cats, or the bad plant karma created by my allergies to most things in nature. Mostly, though, it's probably because I totally forget to water things.

If I had this eye-catching mosaic watering can, I'd probably never forget.

or get a succulent cactus. you only water them once a week in the warm months and once a MONTH in the winter. only had one person who killed it and thats cause she kept up the weekly water well into december, and kept them as far away from sunlight as she could in her apt.
