Duh, Plants: Getting Started With Gardening for the Black Thumbed
Today's light-hearted website is designed to provide basic, useful advice
for the truly hopeless gardener. Gentle Subscribers who have admitted to
being in this group will find an amusingly written guide to quell the
terrors of even those who have thrown in the trowel.
I know you think you can't grow anything, that plants and people do not
mix, and that any plant entrusted to you has been given a death sentence.
Many people feel this way. ... I am here to help. ... I would like to say
that it isn't your fault. I really would like to make you feel better.
Unfortunately, it is your fault in most cases. You know this. That is why
you are here. ... Yes, it is time to learn a few simple things that will
help you help your plants live long and prosper. You can relax, this isn't
going to be technical. I know how you are about those things. We won't
mention any plants by name, or assume you know much of anything. This is
for the botanically-challenged." - from the website
The site covers such the basics of water, dirt and light along with ample
reassurance for the apprehensive gardener. Additional articles highlight
more advanced issues such as bugs and diseases, experiments and rescues,
while the concluding columns offer the consoling "It Wasn't Really Your
Fault" and the happy tale of the four year old basil plant.
