In the back of my mind as I planned the planting of the garden plot, I was remembering some good evidence that my roommates and I do not have the greenest of thumbs. After it was discovered that a garden plot was not available, my inexplicable urge to tend growing plant-things got to me and I bought a very small container herb garden. Well, soon before our outdoor garden adventure began, all those little guys were extremely dead. And also covered in aphids. At one point, as they were being thrown away by my roommate, Alli (Best-Friend-Hannah theorizes that this is when her scorn for the whole gardening endeavor began) I used the top of the stem of the Thai pepper plant to fling the aphids at her face. She was 0% amused.
Was it too little sun? Too much water? Did someone pour rum in there? I still don't know. R.I.P. little herb garden buddies.
