Used to have a very green thumb. With age and ailments my gardening pursuits have faded but I still love to grow some beautiful tomatoes and flowers.

I can cut and sprout about any plant. Gardening was a joy before accident 19 yrs ago.

I have always had success with plants and small trees. My main course of action is to leave them alone and let them grown with care but mostly on their own. my tangerine tree gave birth to 50 babies.

my only problem is plants get to beg and then I have to give them away. Otherwise, I grow plants that shouldn't be doing so well in my area. Main thing to remember is not to over water.

I kill everything. I'd love to have a garden but unfortunately I live in a townhouse where everything is done by landscapers.

Would like to but don’t. No inside plants. Outside plants are much easier. Have plenty of those.

My thumbs turn black every time I plant anything.

We like plants and do our best, but by no means are we master gardeners or landscapers.

Grew up on a farm. I definitely appreciate those with a green thumb but I'd rather be doing something else other than gardening, tending plants, etc.

I wish I did but a good quality emerald is so expensive. Yes, there are "created" emeralds, but unlike diamonds which look great, the created emeralds do not.

To continue my story (this is 3/3), I was very envious when one of my best friends got faux emeralds for her birthday and wore them first. However, I was happy to wear mine anyway. My friends bulled me because I was a "copycat" even tho they all knew I had received mine first. #meangirls!

My parents got me faux emeralds as my first pair of pierced earings and I looked at them in the box until my mom could find the "self-piercing" rings that slowly worked into your ear over a couple of weeks. When I proudly wore my birthstone earings to school my best friends bullied.

My birthstone is Amethyst. I like it. I like the color. But one, I prefer Emeralds. And two, I don't wear jewelry anymore.

No, I have no rubies, and I wept mock tears for my husband's benefit answering this.
