you do get a green thumb when you prune your plants without pruning shears.

I never wear gloves pruning my plants, but because I am a smoker I wash my hands really good as the tobacco is not good for them. We smoke outside and not in the house so my inside plants grow good. Same thing for most of my outdoor plants when pruning wash hands and when picking produce wash hands. Everything grows good for me.

My grandmother had a green thumb.  She could make anything grow and live.  I have to really work at keeping my plants alive.

I am hoping I will have a green thumb this year, as I plan on planting and growing herbs for my health.

I've had a successful kitchen garden the past two years.  This year my compost is more broken down.  I've tilled, dug and composted about a third of it already.  I even have a volunteer sunflower, unfortunately it's right where a tomato plant needs to go.  ::) :rose:
