About me: I am from, and still live in, Boston, MA. I have sporadically owned houseplants over the years, including some spider plants I kept on life support for almost a decade before finally giving them to a niece with a green thumb. I have killed cactus, inch plants, spider plants, philodendron, and all kinds of 'unkillable' things. I am determined to have a flower garden on my decks. DETERMINED.

My zone is: Zone 6 Boston
