Brown Thumb Rehabilitation

I have always pretty much had a brown thumb when it comes to gardening!  All my plants inevitably seem to die.  I'm pretty sure it has a lot to do with the fact that I have a hard time remembering to water them!  But, this year since I am home ALL day most days, I have been really trying to get in the habit of watering them :)  And with great pleasure, I was super excited to return home from my week at the beach to discover two beautiful, red tomatoes ready to be picked!  (I had even found a neighbor to water them while we were gone.....so I'm definitely improving!).  My hibiscus plant is also doing pretty well.  I get lots of motivation from my neighbors deck, which doubles as a botanical garden year-round!!
