Green thumb tests results: negative
This is very sad news for me to report. After a long, hard week of struggling my hydrangea is starting to look very dead. Leaves are wilting. Lots of brown is showing. If plants did rigor mortis it would be setting in about now. And to make matters worse my nice new laurel bushes are doing a sympathy death dance. The ground is mostly clay with some compost and topsoil that I tilled in, so at first when they started to go brown I thought I was over-watering them. But less water has not helped. They have withered like the grasses. I'm even too traumatized to take a picture.

I have tried so hard to keep even desert flowers alive in the desert.
I am sad about my plants too.
I feel you ladykins.
i too have a black thumb. in order to make myself feel less like a failure and more in touch with nature knowledge, i have restricted myself to only growing plants that are hearty as weeds. although i have recently killed two pots of geraniums. and i don't know why they died, that's the sad part.
