So I am going to go ahead and say that I've officially graduated from a black thumb to a brown thumb :)
I started a container garden this year for a couple of reasons:
A. Pinterest just made it look so darn easy
B. My indoor allergies have been flaring up so I have been trying to incorporate more plants indoors (which I'm not actually featuring any of our indoor plants)
C. I realized that I could grow stuff from scraps for free and eventually pay a little less for groceries (and I'm cheap so I'm good with that)
Those three reasons morphed from me just growing a few things from scraps to buying seeds and starting a container garden. I tend to kill plants so that is why I haven't posted much on this before. Now that several of them are past the seedling stage and I haven't killed that many plants yet, I figured I would share!

Orange, Yellow, Red, and Green Bell Peppers from scraps...though sadly the green ones never sprouted so they aren't in the picture on the right.

Basil and Lavender

Spinach and Kale

Sunflower and garlic!
I also have some wheatgrass growing (more for decor), an avocado seed (though it still hasn't sprouted after a few months), an orchid and some aloe vera....we will see how everything progresses
Plants killed: Pumpkins, pineapple plant and green onions...this is why I have only been promoted to brown thumb
