26A- Celebrating Failure

 This was a good one and I am so excited I get to finally rant about how bad my luck has been with plants my ENTIRE life. This semester alone I have been responsible (or so I tell myself that) for the deaht of 4 plants. Green thumbs run in my family. My grandparents have a beautiful garden, my mother a wide collection even my father has a nice garden in his backyard. When I moved away for college my dad gave me a plant and it died within two weeks of my dad handing it down to me. Since then I have been determined to keep my plants alive. With such a hectic school and work schedule, I neglected my plants dearly. Also living in an apartment complex in a bedroom that is almost always blocked by the sun, its hard to keep my plants alive. In the summers, the sun burns right through my babies and in the winter that bipolar weather ruins them every time. Honestly, COVID-19 has been the best thing for my plants. When I moved back home I bought 2 pepper seedlings. I figured with all this free time to actually care for my plants and give them the proper attention they need that I could finally figure out if its me or nature. So far, my plants are thriving. I bought them March 15th and they've actually been growing really fast. I set an alarm for 2:30 everyday and since I am stuck at home at all hours, I can finally stick to a perfect watering schedule. I actually look forward to my alarm ringing everyday. The other day I saw lizards mating in my plant and I was so upset about it. The disrespect honestly. But that's nature I guess and if I want my plants to live out the real experience and not some fake apartment replica of it. So it'll let the lizards mate in my plants. Updates to come.
