meet my plants

A philodendron cutting in water and baby broccoli seedlings.

I'm not exactly known for my green thumb.  If anything, up until recently, I was known for killing anything that may at one point have been alive.  I've gone through two tropical-type plants, three pots of ivy (and yes, I know that people pay good money to have others come and kill the ivy in their yards), and a variety of other attractive plants.  I don't know what I've done wrong.

The newest addition to the family: Minty, a tiny mint plant.

But all of a sudden, my apartment has become a happy little plant haven.  I've had Phil, my resident philodendron, for over three years.  His cuttings are happily growing in pots and glasses of water.  I got more adventurous this past month and started some plants from seeds.  I had no idea what to expect, and didn't really follow any directions.  So far... baby broccoli plants!  I'm a mom!
