green thumb

I am a very good green thumb.  Because my plants haven't turned all the way brown.



I am watering my plants.



I'm a very good waterer.  I always remember to water my plants.  I water them one time, and when I think they need water I water them.  When they're wilting I know they really need water.



This is a dandelion.  I picked it from outside, and I took the white fuzzy seeds, then I put them in dirt.  I knew how to plant the seed furry side up because I watched a gerber daisy video that showed you how to pick the viable seeds, and plant them in a pot of dirt.  The fat ones are viable and the thin ones are not.



I also harvested gerber daisy seeds from a old gerber daisy flower.  The gerber daisy is the taller one.

  1. Moyer, you DO have a green thumb. Perhaps the first real green thumb since your Great-Grandpa Smith (your Grandpa in the UAE's dad). But Great -Grandpa Smith used to grow peppers that were so hot that your Grandpa had to use gloves to pick them so they wouldn't burn his hands.

  2. Wow Moyer! What a good job watering your plants! They look green and healthy. You will have to write another blog when you have flowers. Your Uncle Thomas has a green thumb too. He works very hard to water our flowers and plants and he has kept them all alive!

    3. Are your brother and sister younger or older? My name is Moyer, my sister's name is Keturah. My sister is three and a half. And I am five years old. I have another sister, Marilla. She is away from us. We want to get our Article 5 so we can get her before her birthday.
