Green Fingers...Not Me

Sunday, October 31, 2010


I support green ideas, I mean not fake and nonsense ones. I wish our world to have more green areas, more forests, more trees , like it once had. So, we may have more hope to live more happily with fewer natural disasters that we experience more and more these days.


To help the world go green, I take several measures to make that happen and one is growing plants and trees.  It is such a great feeling to see those creatures extend their components from tiny seeds or small plants to stand proud in bigger sizes and with more green branches and leaves. That is my feeling when I saw my mom's work on her plants and trees. It convinced me my idea about my happy green world.


I followed my mom's steps. I memorized what she did to her green stuffs and more. I consulted experts and read more books when I grew my plants. I made sure they received  proper water, temperature, sunlight, shade and fertilizer. I did pamper my plants more than mom did. I even talked to my plants but how come they hardly survive.


My plants are more likely to die than living longer to see their glorious days. Some that survive must have been the toughest ones and I deeply appreciate their effort to live with me.  I tried to find out what I did wrong to make most of my plants give up so early. I asked mom, consult experts (again) and read more books. Still, I found no clue.


Finally, I got the best answer.  I am not " green fingers". 
I will talk about that "green fingers" later in my next chapter.
