I didn't used to believe in the whole "green thumb" thing. I mean, just follow the instructions on the seed packet, right? How hard can it be?
I can't grow things. And I live in Oregon. Last year, I really tried with our veggie garden. I really did. But when I started the seeds outside, the slugs ate them as soon as they spouted. When I started them inside, the soil got all moldy and the roots died. I googled how to fix these problems. Nothing worked.
This year, I'm taking a different approach. I sprinkled lettuce seeds in the dirt and said, "Grow, dang it." Then I threw some squash and pea seeds into a sandwich bag with a wet paper towel and said, "Figure it out."

I was rather surprised. I guess they respond well to verbal commands.
Now let's see if they survive the slugs...
