Can I Also Say...

that I have the WORST green thumb in the history of crappy gardeners?? I'm pretty sure my thumb is black. I've killed pansies, marigolds, gerberas....the list goes on. Heck, I've even killed BAMBOO!!! Yes, the kind that you stick in water! I don't know how or why, but I am just the worst gardener ever. My poor Venus Fly Trap just doesn't stand a chance :( I really, really want to be able to hold my own and have a pretty garden. Any gardening book/website recommendations?
