I'M GARDENING for Gawd's Sake! I Need Your Tips!
Most Beauteous Reader!
I don’t know what I am doing. I’m a dud. I’ve always just let the forest grow up to my window sills.
So, I got bears! I got opossums! I got raccoons! But I don’t have a single flower.
Brilliant and most instructive Reader! It’s a beautiful day, and I’m suddenly ambitious.
Can you give a girl a few tips on growing something pretty? I have very little sun and lots and lots and lots of water.
Dying to hear!!! I’m itchin’ to start shoveling or hoeing or whatever you advise me!!

Ah, I am of the more is more variety. I get a package of wildflower seeds and use up ALL OF THEM, which you aren't supposed to do and I end up with a whole backyard of gorgeous buds. Cosmos are great because they are so so big and hard to go wrong with.
The only thing I know for sure is that you have to be mean to roses. Don't coddle them. Pretend they are mediocre white men and give'em hell!
