my weed

Ok, so I didn't have a very good year with plants.  My dahlia broke with a strong gust of wind... the pretty plants I bought in the beginning closed up and didn't bloom again like 2 weeks after I had them, and it was such a hot summer that all the potted flowers just died despite me keeping up with the watering.... but here you have it.  My favorite thing that grew is this weed.  Well, that's what I think it is, at least.  Isn't it the prettiest weed you ever did see?  It grew to be nearly as tall as me, and I am proud of it. It deserved a picture!

    I like your green sweater!!! I killed all my flowers this year too. Whomp-whomp. I didn't even bother with mums in the fall. Here's to greener thumbs in 2013! Hey- that's going to be my new year resolution...to learn how to garden!

    Hey I have that sweater ;)
    Plants don't like me, I try every year and every year end up killing them before summer is through.
