Let's be clear, we can't keep a plant alive at Casa de Lipshultz. I've bought maybe four five six plants, all of which have died in my care. I remember reading that plants make the air clean & fresh when I was pregnant with little guy and I immediately went out to buy plants. I wanted to fill our house with the cleanest freshest air possible, but ended up wasting money, killing plants, and crying about it. I believed that because I couldn't manage to water a few plants I wouldn't be able to keep my kid alive either. Sigh.
It's been a couple years since the "kill all the plants in sight extravaganza" and a month ago my husband and I made our way to Home Depot to pick out some victims plants. We settled on two that day, one being a lavender plant (rest in peace) and the other, a tomato plant. We've tended to this tomato plant more than our infant child. Watering it, feeding it, moving it from some sun, to more sun, to "oh you better go move it - it's getting too much sun" places. We noticed a couple of weeks ago that there were some blooms on it, and that was just what we needed to really light the fire under our plant growing asses! Over the last week the yellow blooms have turned into little green tomatoes and it's true what they say "You can't make an omelet without breaking eggs" or in my case, you can't keep a plant alive unless you kill a (few) dozen.
