Shrinking
Apparently JR and I will make terrible parents.
We decided to try growing some sprouting garlic bulbs a few weeks ago. If they lived we thought we’d try a pet, and then eventually a kid. Sadly, I don’t think the garlic is going to make it. They were doing well until we moved them into some new dirt... now they’re shriveling up and turning brown. Today, I set the pot in the sun on our balcony in a last ditch effort to save them, but I fear it’s too late.
Granted it wasn’t really a plant and we were just experimenting to see what would happen, but I’m still bummed. My mom has always kept plants around the house, and JR grew up on a farm for crying out loud! But it looks like neither one of us has a good green thumb.
On the plus side... the diet is going well. Together JR and I lost 11 pounds this week.. not too shabby!

Good for you (about the diet I mean)!
As for the plants... well, we both ended up with black thumbs it seems. I have managed to keep Puppy alive (and kicking... and jumping... and barking) for 7 years now though so I wouldn't worry about how your plant skills translate to other forms of life.
