My Attempt at Getting a "Green Thumb"....

This past weekend, I traveled to the big city of Luverne for my best friend's bridesmaid's luncheon. On the way there, I passed my grandmother's house. She passed away last October, and yes, it's still strange driving by her house and knowing that she's not there. However, this time I noticed the beautiful hydrangea bush that was fully bloomed in her front yard. I have no idea why I never noticed this bush before. So, after having a great time at the bridesmaid's luncheon, I left the big city to head back home. On my way out of town, I decided to stop and see if I could take a sample of the hydrangea bush home. There were TONS of blooms and stems to pick from. I tried my best to pull one with some root left on it, and I got a little, but not much. When I got home, I ran to get some fertilizer and I planted the stems in my front yard. So far, it's not looking too good, lol. I'm hoping the stems just had a rough time on the drive home and they will spruce back up....if not, I'm going to have to dig the things out of the ground! Everybody cross your fingers that my first attempt at having a green thumb has not turned into an epic fail :)
