Gardening Ain't My Gig

OK, I am going to admit it - I can't keep a plant alive for the life of me.
Phew! There said it.
I know many of you thrive in your gardens, love the soil beneath your toes and eat your own home grown fruits and veggies.
Not me. 
Don't get me wrong, I would LOVE to. But Can't. 
Living where I do I have no access to a yard - no soil to plant my seeds in and watch grow. In my home it is kinda dark, not a whole lot of natural light.
I have killed every plant I have brought into this home. 
Bamboo - dead
Basil plant - wilted to oblivion
fresh cut flowers - one day max life span

Do I wish I were like many of you ? With a garden of my own to grow cherry tomatoes like my grandma did and roses like my grandpa - you betcha I do! But until I get my hands on my own plot of earth, to grow my wildest dreams this little planter box will have to be my crowning achievement in gardening :

PLANTER BOX - Flora Collection - Ring Size 8.25



Not to be outdone with the fanfare for my Planter Box ring, I have one more goodie to share with you all :-)
This one perhaps more simple, but more dear to my heart.  I spent many nights in the back yard at my cabin gazing at the stars. It was soo dark ( no street lights) so quiet, so peaceful. Those were the happy moments I will always remember - like seeing my first shooting star ( Do you remember the first time you saw one ??)
A way to wear your wishes upon a shooting star :

CONSTELLATION Ring Size 7



Toodles till next time!

You're not alone in your ability with plants...I'm convinced my plants jumped and weren't pushed like everyone assumes.
Love that ocean jasper ring, it's almost as big as the starry sky!

Bloomin' beautiful planterbox ring (as is the wearer)!
That constellation ring is soo dreamy.It actually resembles looking up into the night sky.

So lovely Jaime!

Both beautiful pieces...I can't keep house plants either. My house is surrounded by trees so & don't have enough light to sustain the little things.

Thanks for the compliments ladies!
So glad I am not alone when it comes to plant killing!
Care - I assure you it is possible ( not to self do not put bamboo under furnace vent...)
Pam - We live in Vancouver, so everywhere you go it is full of tall evergreens, we have the same problem, just not enough light.
