As much as I would love to add gardening to my list of accomplishments, I'm pretty horrible at it.  I start with the best intentions, and then it just falls apart.  I forget to water, weeks go by, and I end up killing everything I've planted.  The one thing I've done really well though is taking care of rose bushes.  We only have a few at this house, but for some reason, I'm really dedicated to cutting them back.  

Despite my flaws, I continue to attempt to try new things.  This week I planted some gladiola bulbs in pots for the greenhouse window in my kitchen.  Also, one little puny jasmine plant for beneath our bedroom window.
