Keeping Plants

Though I am terrible at keeping plants alive, my youngest daughter loves plants.  She seems to have some talent at keeping them alive, too. 

This year, she planted pea, squash, tomatoes, and several flowers in a small area of our yard.  She now has tomatoes on the vine and squash flowering.  Such excitement!  She faithfully waters them and enjoys checking on them daily.

My mama and my sister both have an interest in flowers and plants and she has learned a great deal from them.  The picture above is a plant my daughter planted with my mama.  They chose a pretty red basket as a pot holder.

This would make a nice centerpiece for the dining table.  It also would look good on a side table in the living room.  And, of course, it makes a nice addition to the door steps.

You could use flowering plants or herbs.  You can use flower pots or baskets.  Hanging baskets on a porch are a nice touch, too.
