To say that I suck at keeping plants alive would be the understatement of the year. I managed to kill a cactus. When my mom found this out, she had quite the laugh and then proceeded to tell me, “Congrats girl. You’re less nurturing than a desert!”. Thank goodness we get each others ridiculous sense of humour. I still laugh over that comment.

I have decided to be brave, and to try to keep not only two cacti alive, but also a cardinal basil plant, an oregano plant, a peppermint plant and an aloe vera plant alive. Go big or go home, right?

I am happy to report that it is Day 3 and my plants are still alive! I feel very proud of this.

Now a question…Does anyone know if oregano continues to actually grow through the winter, indoors of course?
